About

THE BLACK DAWN

On the 17th of the Red Moon, Year 0, Veydris, a supervolcano hidden beneath the Pacific, erupted with unimaginable force. For forty days and forty nights, razor sharp obsidian ash fell from the sky. Cities were buried, nations collapsed, and billions died.

Survivors remember that day as the Black Dawn.

THE SEVEN NIGHTS

Seventy two hours after the final ashfall, the Cinder Fever began. A burning coal awakened behind the sternum of every infected person. For seven nights, each victim was dragged into a nightmare shaped by their deepest trauma.

The Dream Trial has only one true rule: keep choosing to live.

THE FIRST EMBER

Those who survive all seven nights awaken on the eighth dawn as Cinderborn. Their heart is replaced by a burning Cinder Core, while black Cinder Veins spread across their body.

Their supernatural ability is born from the trauma they overcame during the Dream Trial.

CORE FEEDING

A Cinderborn can consume the still living Core of a Scorch, Ash Beast, or another Cinderborn. The victim's ability is never transferred. The consumed Core only strengthens the eater's existing power.

But every Core brings physical mutations and fragments of another person's Dream Trial.

THE RED PILGRIMAGE

The Scorch have evolved. Alpha Scorch now lead massive hordes across the ruined continents, following the heat of living Cinder Cores. Ash Beasts travel with them, and entire settlements disappear beneath the Scorch Tide.

Humanity survives among the ruins, knowing that every source of heat can become a beacon.

WELCOME TO CINDERBORN

The old world is gone, but humanity has not disappeared with it. Across the ash-covered ruins, survivors continue to fight, Cinderborn struggle with the powers born from their deepest trauma, and Scorch roam the remains of a world that no longer remembers peace.

Every survivor carries something from the old world. Some carry memories. Some carry scars. Some carry Cores.

The question is no longer whether humanity can survive the apocalypse.

The question is how much of humanity will remain when it finally does.

Survive the Seven Nights.

Control your Cinder Core.

Protect what remains of you.

Because in CINDERBORN, surviving is only the beginning.

Intro

The world was not always like this. Before the Black Dawn, humanity lived beneath a familiar sky. Cities covered the land, machines connected distant nations, and people believed the future belonged to them. Then Veydris awakened. The supervolcano hidden beneath the Pacific erupted with unimaginable force. Ash swallowed the sky, fire consumed cities, and the world was buried beneath a darkness that seemed to have no end. The event became known as the Black Dawn. But the eruption did more than destroy civilization. Something changed within the surviving world. Some humans awakened strange powers and developed Cinder Cores within their bodies. Their veins carried burning energy, and their abilities allowed them to survive dangers that ordinary humans could not. These survivors became known as the Cinderborn. Others survived without awakening a Cinder Core. They remained ordinary humans in a world that had become anything but ordinary. Cinderborn called them Embernaked. Without supernatural abilities, they relied on weapons, technology, knowledge, preparation, and one another to survive. Humanity also discovered that the creatures of the ruined world had changed. Animals exposed to the aftermath of the Black Dawn could become enormous and dangerous Ash Beasts. Some remained wild, while others retained fragments of their former lives. Rare bonds between humans and Ash Beasts became possible, creating companions capable of protecting their owners and surviving the wastelands beside them. Yet not everything that changed was friendly. The Scorch emerged from the ruins, twisted creatures driven to hunt the living. Some evolved into stronger and more intelligent forms known as Scorch Alphas, capable of leading entire hordes. Across the world, settlements were built behind reinforced walls. Survivors traded food, medicine, ammunition, machines, and whatever resources could be recovered from the ruins. Hunters ventured into abandoned cities. Engineers rebuilt old technology. Travelers crossed the Ash Wastes. Cinderborn fought Scorch. Embernaked found ways to survive without powers. Ash Beasts roamed the wilderness. The old world was gone. But humanity had not disappeared with it. Years after the Black Dawn, another day begins beneath a sky stained with ash. A ruined road stretches between the remains of an abandoned settlement. Broken buildings rise from the dust, old machines lie half-buried beneath the ground, and distant sounds echo through the wasteland. Somewhere beyond the ruins, something moves. The world continues to change. And now, your story begins. You decide who you are. You may be a Cinderborn with an awakened Cinder Core, an Embernaked survivor who relies on human ingenuity, an inventor carrying technology from the old world, a traveler searching for a new home, a hunter fighting Scorch, or someone who travels alongside an Ash Beast companion. Your background, abilities, companions, and path are yours to decide. Nothing about you is predetermined. The choice is yours. What kind of survivor will you become?
