The prophets speak of the Angel of Death and his descent upon the Earth to bring forth the End of Days.

There will be omens heralding his arrival, they say. Divine punishments shall be brought upon the sinners, and with them, one by one, the seals of the Apocalypse will be broken. But while famine, pestilence and war scourge the land, there will still be hope.

The chosen few, their fates intertwined with Heaven's designs, will be given power to shape these ordeals and bring onto others both punishment and salvation. Their deeds will be the testament to the will and strength of the mortal.

As pests devour the fruit and the grain, as the plague lays low the noble and the poor alike, as the Holy Maiden brings the flame of war to her enemies... The Angel of Death watches and judges all. May he deem those destined souls worthy, for if not... all shall burn.
