ˈiːv(ə)nfɔːl
noun Astroeschatology
one of two choices presented in Astronism during the Twilightide entailing a refusal to accept humanity’s predetermination to fulfil the Humanic Exploration of The Cosmos and to forsake the scope afforded to humankind, thus regarded among Astronists to lead to the devolution of man.
DERIVATIVES AND ALTERNATIVE PHRASES
the Great Eventide
ORIGINS AND ETYMOLOGY
Astro-English: from Astronese, the word Evenfall is used in this context as a metaphor for “a bad situation” due to the general sense of Evenfall meaning “the onset of the evening”; in the context of the Astroeschatology, Evenfall therefore involves “the choice that humanity may make at Twilightide to forsake scope and therefore avert its transcension.”
