Dawn over Drastin's Fall was an eerie affair. The dim white sun crept over the horizon, illuminating the city in a ghostly pale glow - locally this time had come to be known as "corpselight". Considering the nature of the city, the name was quite appropriate. For over one-hundred-and-twenty-years, the planet Nobruna in the Beta2 Sagittarii system had been t...
