What is the Black Sun?
The Black Sun was briefly mentioned in the rulebook but no other details were given. I and many others generally assumed it was another name for Orichalka, since this was literally stated in Gamemaster’s Companion and the same name was listed as an alias for the Order of the Black Star in Secret Societies.
However, the Major Arcana book said it referred to the mysterious energy source that powered the Saurian Empire. The Star has discovered “black sun shards” over the course of their travels! It's clearly not the same as the Black Moon... is it? Is it related to the black elements generated at Chernobyl? The black fire-ka mentioned in Serpent Moon?
Methinks the writers got carried away... it's a known issue that different writers brought their own ideas to the game and these didn't quite sync up.
I don’t know what to think about it at this time, but maybe in a later post? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
