The Long Night is a total overhaul mod which takes the game Dwarf Fortress and transplants it into a distant future, where apocalypses have come and gone and the children of humanity shelter in the ruins of titanic structures beyond reason, using technology that may as well be indistuinguishable from magic. Inspired by artists like Tsutomu Nihei and Makoto Kobayashi, and countless works such as Blame!, Rainworld, Feersum Endjinn, Great Sky River, and many, many more, I have created an original setting which I hope you find enjoyable. It is a sprawling, melancholic, alien world, punctuated by frantic action and desperate bids for survival, strewn with inhuman creatures and entities which may be friend or foe, weak or strong, sane or mad, and dotted with points of light containing the last remnants of intelligent civilization, tenuous shelters where the luxuries of community are yet preserved. While the Long Night may be harsh, your characters can reach heights of power that let them, if not master their world, carve out a safe place for themselves and that which they value. Just remember; so can anyone else.
