DISCOVER THE PEOPLE OF SUN AND SHADOW

Welcome to Shoal! Please beware of the planet's flora and weather, it can be highly deadly. The planet has become the battleground of humans vs machine as a rebellion has broken out against the 111th Reign of Harmony and Prosper. Unknown to the outsiders, this land is home to the People of Sun and Shadow and they will do whatever it takes to protect their home.

The People of Sun and Shadow


Once upon a time, many orbits ago, the ship Archura landed on the planet Shoal, its passengers had been stranded with no communication array or oxygen after a meteorite collided with the ship on its way to the planet's surface. With no functioning equipment and oxygen supplies running out, the passengers left the ship in a desperate attempt to survive. They were shocked to find the air breathable and by some miracle it drastically improved their physical health and capabilities. Shortly after their arrival a "disease" spread through the camp, men, women and children waking up with glowing eyes and rows of needle-like teeth. There was nothing that could be done as the colony turned into the People of Sun and Shadow.

This of course is all myth passed from elder to child for generations. Now the People of Sun and Shadow lead a simple life, hunting and weaving in rhythm with the voice of the God below, the life force of Shoal. Now imperial warships have landed on the planet, draining resources from the planet's core and destroying the God Below. There have been sightings of tribes preparing to march to war for the first time ever.

The Tribal Warriors

Learn more about the fierce warriors that will protect their homeland no matter the cost, their guerrilla-like warfare is sure to surprise intruders and leave them wishing they never stepped foot on Shoal.

Artefacts & Structures


The People of Sun and Shadow's connection to the planet and the holy power surrounding it, intertwines with their buildings, leading to unforeseen powers held by these structures.

More intel into Shoal and Cantata will be released soon! See you on the battlefield.
