It has many names; “The Shape,” “Satan’s Eye,” “Rozdzerac,” “The Cosmic Rend,” “The Infinite Maw”, but to most, it is known only as… “THE TEAR.”
It is a vast and powerful cosmic entity that inspires dread, fear, and uncertainty in the hearts and minds of all who see it in the sky. To the naked eye, The Tear is a sickly purple and green slash across the heavens; if scientists have seen more with specialized instruments, they aren’t sharing their discoveries. The Tear appeared at the edge of our solar system on the day mankind first successfully tested the atomic bomb.
Since it’s appearance in 1945, The Tear has drawn closer to Earth. It is now the predominant shape in the sky. More beautiful than the stars and more terrifying than a thousand thunderbolts, the Tear is awe-inspiring and dreadful. Since its appearance, the natural order of the world has been disrupted.
Creatures once thought to be possible only in nightmares have come into existence. Some lurk in the shadows, others venture into the open. Forces once thought to be immutable – forces like gravity and magnetism – now bend to the capricious whim of The Tear. And to some people, The Tear whispers, speaks, and commands.
