The consequences of such devastating conflicts were far-reaching. The invaders\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewere eventually defeated and repelled but in the aftermath of these End Wars, governments would collapse, and humanity would face widespread\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003estarvation and extinction. Thus would begin Terra's Second Age, the Age of Desolation, or, as it is more commonly known, the Thousand Year Darkness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor seeming eternity, the human race would endure a dark age of utter chaos, a period of everlasting ruin and strife in which only the strongest\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand most capable survived. Through this desolation, a lone warrior would rise from the shadows. Seeking to re-establish order, this warrior would\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eutilize a combination of hopeful words, what military power he held at his disposal, and most importantly, lessons learned from civilizations past to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebring humanity's remnants under his banner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough this warrior's crusade would last many lifetimes, the human race, for the first time since its birth, would, at last, become united under a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esingle cause and purpose. From this, order and culture would be revitalized across the ravaged earth, giving rise to a power that would rule over\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eall, the Terran Empire. With the Empire's birth and the warrior's coronation as the First Emperor, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehuman civilization had officially been reborn, thus beginning the Third Age, the Age of Ascension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut even with this Rebirth of Humanity, Terra remained broken and devastated, possessing few remaining resources to sustain its inhabitance. For\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehumanity's continued survival, the Empire would turn its attention toward the final conquest, Space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe foundations of this new age are marked solely by humanity's intent of settling its star system. Once space was reached, the Empire's first\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eact was to establish space colonies in geosynchronous orbits around its homeworld. After vast expenditures of funds and manpower, the colonies would become the agricultural centers of this newborn nation, ending all lingering traces of the Darkness virtually overnight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Crux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0578708361\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780578708362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Inkwell Books LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Daniel Crux","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43945904931071,"sku":"9780578708362","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_579573f7-84c9-4e66-8d26-321503687fca.jpg?v=1681510427","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/black-sun-fury-of-the-daniel-crux-9780578708362","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
