No one knew. The world didn't know. The disaster that fell was unprecedented and terrifying. The disease dubbed the Awn changed the world forever, those who kindled it earned powers beyond mankind and those who didn't fall prey to the Withering. After decades humanity adapted and tracked the source of the Awn, Outer space. Diligent and heroic individuals set out to banish the source except they never came back apart from one. These heroic individuals gained status power and fame but could not reach that one hero. "Radiants!" mankind called them.
