SUMMARY:DARK EDEN - Chris Beckett
DESCRIPTION:You live in Eden. You are a member of the Family\, one of 532 d
 escendants of Angela and Tommy. You shelter beneath the light and warmth o
 f the Forest's lantern trees\, hunting woollybuck and harvesting tree cand
 y. Beyond the forest lie the treeless mountains of the Snowy Dark and a co
 ld so bitter and a night so profound that no man has ever crossed it. The 
 Oldest among you recount legends of a world where light came from the sky\
 , where men and women made boats that could cross between worlds. One day\
 , the Oldest say\, they will come back for you.\n\nYou live in Eden. You a
 re a member of the Family\, one of 532 descendants of two marooned explore
 rs. You huddle\, slowly starving\, beneath the light and warmth of geother
 mal trees\, confined to one barely habitable valley of a startlingly alien
 \, sunless world. After 163 years and six generations of incestuous inbree
 ding\, the Family is riddled with deformity and feeble-mindedness. Your cu
 lture is a infantile stew of half-remembered fact and devolved ritual that
  stifles innovation and punishes independent thought. You are John Redlant
 ern. You will break the laws of Eden\, shatter the Family and change histo
 ry. You will be the first to abandon hope\, the first to abandon the old w
 ays\, the first to kill another\, the first to venture in to the Dark\, an
 d the first to discover the truth about Eden.\n\n
