The Rite of Shathol'Syn, encompassing the deaths of no less than five sovereign lords of Amarr, doesn't happen very often so the talented volunteer writers of ISD Mercury have stepped up to pen a new and intriguing chronicle that should provide some insight into the lives and loves of these fallen lords of Amarr.

We hope you enjoy the tale of "Sunset"

The new chronicle can be read on the Community site's backstory section: Sunset

Holy ****. The tendrils of that ending will work on my imagination for a good while.

Bravo, team.

At first I was like "why did this chronicle need somekind of strange backroom deals", then I realized what it was actually about and went "Oh, he just .. Well ****..."
Now I feel kinda bad.

But also inquisitive, is Sathol'syn actually recorded? I assume it is only for Imperial use however, for the history books and never to actually be seen anyone but the Emperor/Empress and other select few?

The attack in Federation space was audacious and ultimately a huge thorn in the side of Uriam's reputation, if only because it left many people scratching their heads as to his motives. I know I've often watched the Quantum Rise trailer and pondered 'why?'

Now we know. Military experts are now calling this an act of love :)

In terms of inspiration, much of it came while driving, listening to Sarah Blasko. This song became an anthem for me during the writing of this rewarding, collaborative affair. I now think of it as part of the soundtrack for what this Chronicle became.

Why the name "Sunset" ?
It should be called "Sunset Empyrean Age"
Drifters have destroyed Darkness.
Chronicling the next name "Dawn of Justice" So will reflect the essence of what is happening.

Warner Brothers already trademarked, used, and ruined the title "Dawn of Justice".

Also, fantastic Chronicle, especially because of the new light it cast Kador in and giving all the heirs a meaningful send off (minus lyin', crooked Khanid presumably).

The name of the chronicle is recalling the last moments of the lives of the Heirs, reinforced by the fact that the ceremony takes place in the early evening. The last acts of the more powerful people of the Empire, the ray of light posing an end to their lives like a last ray of sunshine are all simbols of what the Chronicle is about: the Sunset of the Heirs lives, of the old Empire giving way to the new one ruled by Catiz.
Plus, short and powerful names are cool. Cool

Okay..
To be honest a boring Chronicle. Nope intrigue. All too "right"
In the past, in 2003. It was the intrigue after the "Succession" Here then it was very interesting to see how it all will end.
Boring Chronicle, as well as the previous one. Do not have interesting NPC characters. Catiz is too formulaic.

P.s
A friend asks:

Grooz, please improve your attitude. It is faulty.

Bravo.

I'm relatively new to the lore of EVE and am working my way through all the fiction. But this will certainly be a favorite.

And yet I saw there intrigue and it finally answered the question that stood for seven years :)

I do not care for you.
You will still be enjoy all that will make CCP
Although you have already have done a lot.
-Succession.
-Getting rid of the character (which whether see on the canon was not on the throne)
-invasion drifters
Even the Chronicles were written exclusively for you. Because in them Jamyl Sarum wants to die. And precisely because it began the war with the Drifters.
Indeed Bravo.
What I saw in the Chronicle:
Why continue the storyline NPC characters in which it was invested so much soul and interesting moments in the plot if you can just cut a character, and begin again from 2003.
Old Chronicles were far more interesting.
Amarr have returned to their barbaric tradition. The Age of Enlightenment is ruined:
Quote:
Once a new emperor has been chosen, all ties to his old royal family are severed and he joins the holy family of the emperors, which owns vast estates throughout the empire and wields considerable political power. Empress Jamyl I, crowned in YC 110, tolerates no interference from her former relations, but is determined to guide her empire to a new golden age of prosperity and enlightenment -- despite them, if necessary.

But all is well begun, without any idiotic "succession"
Amarr as were the slaves of their barbarous traditions and have remained.


And all for the sake carrying out Succession, not more. Sad
