Sunless Horizon: The Empyrean

A perfect dystopia. A heaven with no exits, and ten thousand eyes trained on you.
The playground of a mad God.

The Empyrean is the core of Ein Soph, where Keter holds the last of humanity in a 20-mile long cylinder. Those people, known as the Chosen (or His as a pejorative), worship Keter as a god, through his Prophetess Maia.

Every day, Keter's temple blares infohazards into the sky, summoning his flock to worship.

WORSHIP

REPENT

The people of the Empyrean are ceremonially implanted with a nerve staple when they are born. The nerve staple is a small device inserted into the spine at the back of the neck.

If one of the Chosen are found to be subversive, the nerve staple is activated, sending its own signals down the spine. The rebel walks out of the cylinder, and kills themselves as a copy is printed in Keter's biotech bays.

The Empyrean also has its own police under the control of the Prophetess, to handle other crimes.

In case of a widespread rebellion, the temple's infohazards change into more destructive commands.

BOW DOWN

After the rebellion is contained, Keter switches to damage control infohazards, removing the public memory of his actions.

FORGET

None of the Navigator Houses have managed to get deep enough into the ship to find the Empyrean, and no one has ever escaped it. Yet.
