Community:Dim Sun

Dim Sun is a guild in PMU7 created in October of 2023 by Purranoir and Acolight.

Origin
The guild was founded off of a mixture of ideas: a game concept Acolight was developing in addition the two jokingly referred to as "Moth Cult"; combining their two favorite Pokémon's aesthetic -Hisuian Zorua and Volcarona- to fit the aforementioned game concept of "The sun dying"; and finally a reference to Team Dim Sun from Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia.

The Dim Sun Alliance
The Dim Sun guild is in a tight alliance with The Big Band, acting as a whole as one guild despite being two. This alliance is unique to these two guilds, and seems to mildly extend as well to the guild Waves of Swiftness

Guild Lore
The guild takes this and creates a unique lore approach to the Guilds existence, citing itself as "Followers of the Light" and follows a intricate story used for creative character building in-game.

Our History
A time far forgotten in Pokémon history, the Sun disappeared in the sky as ash and smoke swallowed it whole, plunging the world in an unnaturally long and dark winter. For years the winter took many lives of Pokémon, unable to endure the long night.

It was in this long night that a Pokémon hatched from flames itself, it's scales falling embers that lit fires that the harshest winds of the night could not put out, it's body radiating heat that stirred trees from their frozen prisons. A child born straight from the lost Sun itself.

An embodiment of their Lost Sun, the Pokémon brought the world back the lost light and life that was taken from them, burning away cold dark and decay of the Long Winter and ushering forth the first spring after many, many years.

This story is told to everyone who visits Dim Peaks, the fabled "Cradle of the Sun". The elder's know it well. They also know of a prophecy told, foreboding words uttered by the Sun birthed before them:

"Like my father before me, I too shall fall below the horizon never to rise again."

The Endless Night is destined to return, a fact that spurned the rise of the Dim Sun Guild. Explorers, Rescuers, the guild serves many purposes for Dim Peaks, the most important one of all being the care of the Sun and her Children. We feed Her and her Children, we raise them to their full potential of greatness, we prepare for Her twilight hours and the clutches of Night returning. For those who have forgotten the Long Night, we prepare for them. They may not remember the loss, but we do. We will follow the Light and Her greatness.

Home Base
The Guild resides in town set up in Purranoir's house called Dim Peaks. This fictional town resides in the northernmost part of Winden and is plagued by blizzards. There are both stagnant "npc" sprites as well as dolls used as residents. The guild takes a unique approach to mapping by having Purranoir's serve as a hub of sorts, the houses on the map acting as exteriors to guild members homes, which on their own house maps act as interiors.
