Lore & Background
The Eclipse Order is a fan-constructed organization, not part of the official Shadows of the Apt lore. In this imagined backstory, it was founded by disillusioned scholars and warriors who believed in controlling the interplay of light and shadow—a concept foreign to the series' actual factions. The Order's methods, shadow magic, and goals are entirely speculative, as the canon features no such group.
In Their Own Story
The air was thick with the scent of incense and the faint hum of shadow energy. 'The time has come,' they whispered, their voice echoing softly in the chamber. Around them, other members of the Eclipse Order gathered, their eyes glowing with an eerie luminescence. Tonight, they would strike at the heart of the city's defenses, plunging it into chaos and proving once again that darkness is not to be feared—it is to be wielded.
Reader's Guide
The Eclipse Order operates as a shadowy force within the Shadows of the Apt universe, driven by their belief in the supremacy of darkness. Their members are diverse, ranging from rogue mages to skilled assassins, all united by a common goal: to manipulate the balance between light and shadow. Their activities often involve covert operations, such as sabotaging rival factions or spreading misinformation to create confusion. They thrive in environments where secrecy is paramount, using their mastery of shadows to remain unseen until it is too late for their enemies to react. In the broader conflict, the Eclipse Order serves as both a catalyst and an obstacle. While some view them as necessary agents of change, others see them as a threat to stability. Their role in shaping the world's future remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: they will stop at nothing to achieve their vision.
