Here is the initial pitch: A world in ruins, a great darkness that has washed across the land, the elder races gone - this is the legacy of mankind. Their only hope is the Light, a divine figure who will help them fight the darkness (called the Dread, the Living Darkness, the Great Enemy) by empowering individuals who act in just and right ways. The game is about a group of church-members as they set out to assist a priest in the town of Drake’s Dell and its outlying hamlets. The town lies deep in the Great Northern Forest - a seemingly endless sea of pine trees covering ten million square miles. The world is dark, gritty, and seemingly hopeless - except for the beacons of light, the church members can be that hope!
