The Days Without Gods

The Days Without Gods is a text-based fantasy adventure in which you play Mori Granson, an apprentice and subordinate of Hysso, president of the Mages' Association. In the mage capital of Tylin, Mori meets Coccinea, a young woman he rescued years earlier, and other characters. As they adventure together, he tries to help them build good relationships and form an unconventional family, the Granson family.

Tylin after the gods

The story takes place in G.L.196, 196 years after God left the world. Tylin was founded 126 years ago, and its mages believe they are changing the order of the world. Under Industrialist Archmage Hysso, magic has become a major business: the Ivory Tower provides water, energy, security and transport.

Though magic now serves commerce, Tylin remains a world of swords and magic, where mages pursue the mysteries left behind by the departed gods. Mori, who is nearing his thirtieth birthday, faces troubles tied to the gods and to fanatics who cling to their power even after leaving them. The story also reaches back to Archmage Papan's reanalysis of the magical world, 147 years before the present.

Mori's circle

• Mori Granson: A 28-year-old Tylin man who considers himself ordinary despite his excellent family. He is generally kind, but can be cold, and works for the Mages' Association as a specialist in dirty work under Hysso. He is described as the owner of Coccinea and Timo.
• Coccinea Granson: An 18-year-old who usually appears capable and aloof, but can be childish around Mori. Skilled at housework and bondage, she longs for Mori's love and is described as unstable.
• Timo: An 18-year-old free-spirited young goddess under the Mages' Association and a guest of Mori's. She fills her speech with meowing and dirty jokes.
• Turnera: A 26-year-old alcoholic and workaholic, Hysso's immediate secretary and Mori's colleague. She is Coccinea's mother and a childhood friend of Tylin's second-in-command.
• Blanca: A 16-year-old nun who runs the Church of the God of Mercy in atheistic Tylin. The only Franciscan nun in the city, she regards Mori as her benefactor and knight.
