Fear takes hold, as you have no recollection of your past or present. Nothing is familiar to you. The voice of a mysterious figure beckons to you through the dark fog.

Through ancient runic magic he claims to have brought you back from the void to serve a purpose in establishing order in these forsaken lands. This enigmatic guardian offers salvation and a path forward: aid in his quest to rise from the shadows, and in return, be reborn and honed into his ultimate apprentice.

The figure ushers you through shadows, whispering of a time when light reigned, now shattered by The Banishment. Runic magic, so vast and threatening, dared to defy the gods, provoking them to engulf our realm in endless night. For centuries, humanity has been ensnared in darkness, huddled around meager flames that flicker against despair.

In a realm swallowed by shadow, civilization fractures into anarchy. Bands of marauders vie for scarce resources, sowing devastation. Amidst this turmoil, humanity wages a dual war against its own fractured essence and the relentless dark poised to engulf everything. Now, the hour is ripe for a new order.
