Dying Earth	comment	Dying Earth is a classic series of Low Fantasy novels by Jack Vance. It is considered one of the seminal works of fantasy and on Science Fantasy and has had a huge influence.Welcome to Earth, billions of years in the future. Magic has returned and has, for the most part, displaced science. The setting is both After the End and Just Before the End. Civilization has largely collapsed, and the Sun is close to going out. Earth's remaining inhabitants are generally aware of this but have no means to escape their increasingly hot and barren Crapsack World. Those that haven't become religious zealots are largely nihilistic fatalists, engaging in what debauchery they can in the time left.The first book, The Dying Earth, consists of short stories about different characters (most notably Turjan of Miir and Mazirian the Magician). The second two books, The Eyes of the Overworld and Cugel's Saga, center on a contest of wills between Cugel the Clever and Iucounu the Laughing Magician. Thief, charlatan, con man, and whatever else he needs to be to get the most benefit with the least work, Cugel teeters on the border between Anti-Hero and Villain Protagonist. When he botches a robbery of Iucounu's mansion, the wizard teleports him across the world with a command to bring back an artifact he wants... and includes a small sentient alien creature attached to his liver and equipped with various sharp implements to encourage his compliance. The series relates his various adventures attempting to return and revenge himself on Iucounu, while conning as many people as possible out of their valuables and/or virginity along the way. The fourth book, Rhialto the Marvelous, chronicles a mystery that concerns Earth's last great conclave of magicians, who turn out to be just as self-serving and underhanded as their inferiors.A few other authors have also contributed to the setting. Michael Shea was given permission to publish A Quest for Simbilis. This book is a direct sequel to The Eyes of the Overworld. It was later superseded by Vance's own sequel Cugel's Saga. There is also the anthology Songs of the Dying Earth, edited by Gardner Dozois and George R. R. Martin.There is also a Tabletop RPG adaptation designed by Robin Laws and published by Pelgrane Press in 2001.

Dying Earth / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: Twango's manse is a microcosm of unrestrained capitalism. His workers are tricked into taking on a debt, must pay hand over fist for basic necessities, work all day to undo the debt they accumulated , and then are incessantly tempted by Twango with lush rooms, fancy items, and gourmet meals that they can't possibly afford but can instead purchase on credit at even more exorbitant prices, lengthening the cycle. He pays them a terse or two per scale they dig up, then sells those scales for twenty times that.

Dying Earth / int_167360cf	comment	Evolutionary Stasis: Even a few million years are enough time for natural selection and genetic drift to significantly alter living species — for reference, humanity went from being essentially bipedal chimps to its current form in about three million years. The millions of years that would have transformed our world into the Dying Earth would also have seen humanity evolve into something we likely wouldn't perceive as human anymore. While offshoot races adapted to the planet are shown, mainline humans like Cugel are still the majority despite not having adapted or changed at all. Familiar animals such as horses are also present.

The "Overworld" lifestyle means suffering even worse conditions than the rest of the inhabitants of the Dying Earth (what they perceive as a "feast" is likely a bowl of coarse gruel, their "palace" might be a rotting hut, etc.) but the illusions are so convincing most consider it Worth It despite the dire effects it has on their health. More traditional is the mysterious Yacht that hounds Cugel and the pilgrims as they move along the desert shore. Looking at its luxurious features and beautiful inhabitants causes you to go into a trance, sometimes for hours, after which you fall into a deep existential depression once it departs. As the depression worsens you become increasingly desperate to see it again, to the point a pilgrim decides he'd rather die alone in the desert than live a long life where he can never see the boat again. The boat, being intangible, is implied to also be related to the Overworld.

Dying Earth / int_8767b1f3	comment	Black-and-Gray Morality: Altruistic actions are quite rare, and a character who provides such is either about to get fleeced or is a scoundrel preparing a double-cross. That's leaving aside the various cannibals, mad scientists, and religious zealots who don't even pretend to be nice to strangers.

Dying Earth / int_8774fb47	comment	Eldritch Abomination: Pandelume looks like one, to the point that anyone who looks upon him will instantly go insane, but he behaves like a rather friendly person (surprising considering the setting). Magnatz is a more straightforward example, since he is unambiguously evil. Blikdak is basically a gigantic face whose leaking nasal fluids take on lives of their own as monstrous phantoms and who is attempting to devour knowledge itself. Sadlark. Even when broken down into nothing more than scales he cannot be killed, and can still reflexively defend himself and feed on souls (which Cugel uses to great effect, to the point the Skybreak Spatterlight can be considered his signature weapon in his second book).

Pelgranes are also humanoid, but are overtly monstrous, with wings and claws and an elongated snout.

There are numerous mentions of how the sun's light is failing, but no indication that the temperature on Earth has been impacted in the slightest by its reduced output. Characters who speculate about their fate once it goes out entirely seem solely concerned with it being forever dark, not forever cold.
