Orun - Post-Apotheosis¸ Afro-Centric¸ Space Opera
 |
Eons ago¸ we were a desperate and different people¸ all vying for dominance of the galaxy. Fearful... Angry... Greedy... Shaped by petty desires... When the beings called Orisha came¸ they showed us a better way. They created Utopian worlds¸ Oruns¸ especially for us. These worlds and all the others of the galaxy flourished. The peoples of the galaxy were happy. They guided us to apotheosis¸ transcendence from the physical reality¸ and expansion of our Ori.
Then¸ with a single stray thought¸ it was all torn apart. The mnemonic Sopona virus spread throughout the galaxy. Worlds fell into catatonic states¸ others hurt themselves in unspeakable ways¸ and all that stood against the psychic maelstrom was the Union of Ascendancy and some of the ascendant¸ the Oluru¸ who returned. Ultimately the war was won¸ the Sopona virus contained¸ and order restored... but the secret of apotheosis was lost.
That was over 500 years ago.
In Orun¸ you play an envoy of the ascendant Oluru¸ called a Djali or Luminary. Not quite ascendant themselves¸ the Luminaries travel to different worlds as advisers¸ troubleshooters¸ and peacekeepers in the post-apotheosis galaxy. They explore lost star systems and ultimately help enlighten worlds and their people¸ waking the galaxy from its disordered indolence.
