From the introduction: The sun is dying out. It’s like a storm is coming, but slowly and constantly. Every day we wake up to a sunrise that is slightly dimmer than the last. We don’t know what mage cast a spell that went wrong, or which king angered which god, but we know that we’re marching inexorably towards an end … if not The End. Quilt of Shadows is a Powered By The Apocalypse game about a medieval fantasy world where the sun is dying. In other games, you might play the brave heroes who venture to the edge of the horizon to save the Prime Material Plane or the center of the universe or even the sun itself. Here, you play the people who are suffering with the disappearances of their liege lords, in towns where survival is key over any heroic feat. You will not be playing great fighters or battle priests or powerful mages. Instead, you are the farmer in the valley who keeps your town fed, the cleric who keeps their spirits light, or the link who runs in-between hamlets on secret errands.
