Moot Summary

Moot is a future set action fantasy told in darkly comic tones.

It is Britain, three hundred years after an apparent comet strike sent the elites of the world scurrying to their vast underground bunkers.

What they could not have, and did not know was that a change in physical laws following the catastrophe would cause electricity to no longer function. Thus our wealthiest and most influential were trapped for ever in locked underground tombs of their own design.

Now the descendants of those surface dwellers who survived the cataclysm are about to be embroiled in a new struggle for existence.

Witnessing the failing of lights, creatures believed belonging purely to myth stirred in the forest and re-claimed the natural world.

With Corporations running Dickensian, oil lamp powered walled cities and re-formed Clan societies preferring to separate themselves from the masses and live together in wilderness towns and villages, the stage is set.

These factions had managed to tersely co-exist for over quarter of a millennium but that is all about to change…there has been a splutter.

For some reason no one can fathom electricity crackled back on for nearly three seconds.

Were long lost sealed bunkers suddenly opened?

Who or what would emerge and who will triumph in the ensuing struggle?

Moot is story of that struggle.

“The world ended…and so we began…”
