[Story & Setting]
A party of adventurers gathers one autumn evening in the corner of a pub in the port of Dover in the Kingdom of Aslan. Their host offers to them an opportunity to embark upon a most interesting and profitable excursion: a quest to find the twelve scattered pieces of the soul of Greater Demon Lord Crom Cruach.For thousands of years until his death, Crom Cruach ruled over the demonic hordes of the upper planes. Following his death, he was ascended by Greater Demon Lord Dynast Amdusias, who himself died three hundred years prior to the present. Since the death of Dynast the throne of the Demon Lord has been empty and the Higher Realms have become a chaotic battleground.
There are demonic agencies who wish to revive Cruach, who would reunite the warring demon clans to paint the metaverse red with the blood of mortal and god alike.

The party's benefactor is an elf of the mysterious Brenn Clan named Astin Tryst. With his elderly companion Zacharias Greenleaf, he briefs the assembled group at the Eorl of Kent inn.The party's specific task is to seek out the mortal beings who each carry within them a fragment of Cruach's soul. These carriers are to be protected at all cost and brought to Magh Slecht in the Republic of Eyrelan. When Cruach's soul is complete he will be vulnerable again and may be destroyed forever. If one of those carriers were to die, then his or her fragment of Cruach's spirit would reenter the Cycle of Souls and reemerge within the body of a newly conceived child anywhere in the world.
[Competition]
• The Order - A secretive organization originally assembled by Dynast and now led by his pupil, Grah. They seek to maintain balance and order through subterfuge and guile.
• The Brenn Clan - An ancient elven clan with a similar agenda as the Order, however they seek to protect their world alone, knowing that by the appraisal of god and demon that the Earth is of little consequence.
• The Navarre Council - The ruling body of magicians and sorcerers, wielding the equivalent political leverage as the Vatican in this world.
• Lesser Demons - Demons who wish to gain favour with Cruach after his resurrection.
• Divine Beings (Gods) - The opposites of demons, these beings wish to keep the demons fighting amongst themselves while they organize their own attacks to destroy their foes.
