The Knight Errant: Expanded Edition

A DEAD PLANET, A FORSAKEN KNIGHT AND A GROUP OF STRANDED SPACEFARERS

Earth is dead, once radiant with heroes and villains, gods and monsters, myth and magic. Then the Horror from Beyond fell upon it, a baleful thing of void-born malice. Now ghouls prowl the blasted wastes and decaying ruins, seeking their absent master.

The Knight Errant alone defied that cosmic pestilence. He shackled the Horror within his own flesh, becoming both prison and prisoner. Centuries later he endures, frozen in his sanctum, a sentinel damned to eternity.

Far across the gulfs of space, the scattered progeny of Earth raised civilizations of metal and science, trading magic for machines. Yet the old world lingers in legend, attracting spacefarers and outcasts. But a few, burdened by mischance, are cast down upon this necrotic sphere, stranded in the shadow of forgotten ruin, where only peril promises reward.
