Infos

In a clockwork universe of hissing steam, gleaming brass, and star-faring galleons, a silent void devours entire systems, leaving only an unnerving darkness. Arvid Melek, a cartographer haunted by his exiled mother's legacy, is thrust into an impossible mission: decipher her heretical journals, uncover the void's origin, and halt its relentless expansion.  The key, the Stellar Guild believes, lies in the ramblings of a woman they dismissed as mad.
Aboard the *Ecliptica*, a steam-powered galleon as intricate as a celestial clock, Arvid and his eccentric crew embark on a desperate gamble. Evelyn Rodriguez, the stoker, whispers to engines in a language only they understand. Thomas Rose, the aristocratic navigator, finds unexpected insights in forgotten celestial myths. And Danielle Kline, the pragmatic engineer, wields her knowledge of arcane technologies against increasingly complex mechanical challenges. 
Their voyage is a descent into the unknown, where each turn of Arvid's brass sextant reveals unsettling truths. Ancient orbital engines, frozen mid-rotation, whisper tales of civilizations swallowed by the void.  Derelict planets hum with latent energy, remnants of a forgotten era.  And Arvid's meticulous charts become meaningless as he navigates uncharted territories, guided only by the cryptic entries in his mother's journals.
Within those journals, Arvid discovers not just celestial maps, but a language of starlight, a symphony of cosmic whispers.  His mother's seemingly insane claims become terrifyingly real: the stars are alive, sentient dynamos powering the universe, and they are dying.  The void isn't consuming space; it's consuming the very lifeblood of the cosmos.
Facing treacherous nebulae, temporal distortions, and their own inner demons, the crew races against the encroaching darkness. They must confront a colossal, dormant mechanical deity at the heart of the anomaly, a celestial dynamo whose slumber threatens the universe's annihilation. Arvid's task becomes agonizingly clear: awaken the deity and sever the parasitic force draining its power. But doing so could trigger a catastrophic chain reaction, plunging the universe into irreversible darkness.  To save everything, Arvid must embrace his mother's legacy and become the conductor of a celestial symphony, reawakening the dying stars and redirecting their power before it's too late.  The fate of the universe hangs in the balance, resting on the shoulders of a one-eyed cartographer and the echoes of a forgotten language written in the light of dying stars.
