== Overview ==
Sundera exists in the far future of Earth after its rotation was deliberately halted.  
One hemisphere forever faces the Sun—radiant, solar, thriving.  
The other lies in eternal night—cold, moonlit, reflective.  
Mass migrations and geoengineering allowed humanity to survive in the thin habitable band between,  
where towering solarpunk megacities promised peace, equality, and sustainability.  
But generations later, perfection fractures.

== Core Lore ==
The project to stop Earth’s spin was called **Operation Equinox**, conceived by Extropian scientists [PLACEHOLDER].  
Its intent: freeze the planet’s rotation to stabilize solar energy collection and reverse climate collapse.  
It succeeded—at first.  
The “Sunward Nations” built glass citadels powered by endless daylight,  
while the “Lunarch Enclaves” adapted to perpetual night through bioluminescent ecosystems.  
The utopian Compact City of **Solara** became humanity’s pride.  
Yet centuries of selective population control, resource imbalance, and social stratification  
have turned that pride into guilt.  
Those who question the old order are exiled to the darkside ruins or sent on “pilgrimages” that few survive.

A new resistance movement, **The Chained Dawn**, seeks the ancient Hawaiian facility  
that once rotated the planet. They plan to restart it, restoring day and night—even if it ends the world. [PLACEHOLDER]

== Key Locations ==
* [[Sundera:Solara]] – solar megacity housing the ruling technocrats.  
* [[Sundera:Lunarch Sanctum]] – moonlit settlement preserving forgotten spirituality. [PLACEHOLDER]  
* [[Sundera:Hawaiian Axis Complex]] – buried rotation-control site at Earth’s equator.  

== Major Figures ==
* [[Character:Arin Solenne]] – exiled solar engineer turned resistance leader. [PLACEHOLDER]  
* [[Character:Veyra Morn]] – lunarpunk philosopher seeking harmony instead of revolt. [PLACEHOLDER]  
* [[Character:Administrator Kyren]] – autocrat of Solara maintaining the “Golden Balance.” [PLACEHOLDER]

== Interlinks ==
* Follows [[Extropia]] chronologically; survivors of Extropian collapse founded Operation Equinox.  
* The moral and ecological consequences echo into [[Vernaia: The Seven Seeds]].
