• The gods were angry. The People had let the filthy humans in to their midst and thus endangered the Vessel. The Vessel must survive. If the Vessel were to perish...something worse than Hell would break loose. If the Vessel were to perish, the Gate to the Void would open and He That Fell would arise. The Gods must protect the Vessel at all costs. But that was much harder than it seems. The Cabal, a vast network of goblins, ghouls and all that is evil was more active than usual. The Elder Council was afraid of what was to come but they could do nothing. The Guilds were recruiting heavily, The Clans were building impenetrable stone citadels, and The Church was constructing great sanctuaries. And yet, nothing could hinder the horrendous calamity that would soon emerge. Thus the Portal opens and the saviors, condemners and the sowers come hence. All hope is not lost. But it is only lingering on the horizon.
