London, 2038: Man has become entirely dependent on science, believing in only what he can define or create. Ancient knowledge and rituals were lost: prophecies ignored. So when the demons came there was little to stand in their way. Emerging from the swirling chaotic Hellgate, they overwhelmed humanities defences. The usual tactics of war were useless against them - only the few who still respected the old ways, with their holy, ancient and arcane rights could stand against the dark invaders, using weapons and spells forged in the traditions of their forefathers. But their scattered successes attracted vastly powerful enemies, forcing the survivors of London deep into the relative safety of the Underground. Above them London lies in ruins. A massive, sinister gash in the fabric of reality swirls and churns, dominating the horizon as it blends into a permanently darkened sky. The Burn - transforming our world into theirs - began, while the remnants of our civilisation hid. But mankind is a race of survivors. Men and women hide in the shadows of their former world, struggling to survive, yearning to strike back at their conquerors.
