Taking place around 6 decades after the demise of Korax, of which the war with left the world of Cronos on the verge of ruin, the remnants of it's civilization have been rebuilding itself. However, wild Ettin and Centaur clans roam the wilderness, demon worshipping cults try to infiltrate the fringes of society - of which both abduct people from towns and villages. Wild beasts stalk the unsafe reaches of the land, outside of human control.
The Great Smog blankets the lower elevations of land in almost perpetual fog, keeping crop farming to higher altitudes - one of Korax's final parting gifts.
Within the country of Castothus the national clergy attempts to maintain an iron grip over its society and anyone deemed a non-believer, spellcaster or witch is branded a heretic and mandated as a pariah, in the so-called pursuit of averting man from sin.
Retired clergyman and past demon hunter, Lennardo Branmarsh now living as a hermit, trying to keep his distance from civilized society and keeping few friends is one day confronted by a distressed mother on a rural path near his home as he travels into the nearby town. The mother, looking for her daughter who hasn't been seen for almost half a day begs for Lennardo's help, in which he agrees to keep a look out and offers to inform his friend who is the local Shire Reef of Doquemoor, the nearby town. Lennardo's past self-employment as a demon hunter gives him the most ominous concern about the situation however. Now in relative poverty after leaving the church, Lennardo sets out on finding the missing girl. Following the trail may lead him to people and organizations that he once would never expect.
