"There's a monster in every man, boy. Within me, there is a host, and one day, it'll be yours to command." Too often these days, Kenji's mind turns to the words of his accursed father. When he fled the Old Country, he thought he had left the monsters behind, but now he sees them every day in the eyes of his friend and mentor. His world is about to crumble in a spasm of eldritch magic, and though he can see the face of his undoing so clearly in his nightmares, deep down, he knows that the first blow has already been struck.

A Synopsis of the World

Seventeen centuries of peace have allowed the people of Aqualon to flourish. Since the Great War, now known as the Age of Heroes, when the Old Gods rose up once more in vain, the world has become prosperous: powerful magocracies in the Middle Lands are going through a magical industrial revolution and rich tapestries of cultures flourish in the Yamato Mountain Range and the Seventeen Yonder Islands. These lie in the Corsic Ocean of the Ocean Belt beyond the 150 kilometer band of iron, the Iron Belt, which rings the planet around its equator.

And isolated from the rest: two technocracies so far beyond them that they could be thought to live in a world of their own. They are divided by their opposing views on integrating magic and technology, yet united in their quest for knowledge.

But who would have thought that none of these would start the next great war?

Amber Sun Productions

Amber Sun Productions was founded in 1592 GE1
The Age of Gears and Elements, which is the current Age of Aqualon.
by a small group of independent writers, who wanted more than the mere margins of largely scientific journals or the various small science fiction magazines that were popular during their time in Miyako Fluxum.   Bernhard Sumner, chairman of the Secret Sun Writing Group, wanted to create a more broadly minded journal, featuring short stories from all kinds of genres. Sick with importing Arclight Press publications rather than supporting domestic authors, who had to share their work in private groups often consisting of their close friends only, Sumner and his peers reached out directly to authors using interviews in popular journals and limited advertisement campaigns sanctioned by the Council of Faculties.   During their attempts, the Secret Sun Writing Group found great support in the philological and literary humanities sector of the Miyako Fluxum academic landscape. With the help of both the humanities faculties and student circles, they managed to leverage a great deal of popularity and facilitate the rise of many theretofore undiscovered authors that poured out of the woodwork like an avalanche.   With their capacity soon at its limits, the writing group was granted special dispensation for the founding of a corporation, a practice severely regulated by the Council of Faculties. This was the birth of Amber Sun Writing.   The company later changed its name to Amber Sun Productions, when the New Sun Film Enthusiast Circle approached the company for sponsorship and instead found a partner in them, elevating Amber Sun to a new publishing realm of both the written word and motion picture productions.

Structure

The publishing company has one chairman, liable for the company's conduct, and a circle of publishers in charge of the various ventures of Amber Sun Productions, such as the Secret Sun Magazine, the Amber Sun Film Division, and the book printing department.   Each publisher of the circle has their own staff and assets, with budgets being handled by the chairman and his assistants. The company has to file strict paperwork on its dealings and maintain perfect transparency with the Council of Faculties, which closely regulates the market of Miyako Fluxum.

Public Agenda

The public agenda of ASP is to give authors a voice in Miyako Fluxum and elevate the mind of the public by discussing philosophy, politics, and spirituality through the lens of fiction.

Assets

The company has no direct assets; rather, they are allocated offices, materials, and two large printing presses by the Council of Faculties, an agreement that has to be extended every five years. Any capital generated by the company is in the form of faculty credit.
