Field of Phaethon

Open field named after Phaethon, grassy and expansive under open skies. Symbolic plain. Chapter 82.

The Field of Phaethon is first introduced in Dark Age as a symbolic, windswept plain on Mercury, named for the fallen Sunborn hero. Though it appears only once in the saga so far, its mythic resonance and strategic openness immediately mark it as a site where personal and political reckonings converge. The field’s single, charged chapter hints at future significance as a place where the Rising’s ideals—and its failures—will be tested under open skies.
