SURVIVE AGAINST FEAR,
AGAINST HUNGER,
AGAINST THE INEVITABLE.
You are going to enter the dark, a blackness so pure that kills
the light it makes contact with, the type of shadows that
suffocates and taints your existence, making you wish for any
kind of warmth. You must do everything in order to survive no
matter the cost... How far will you go?

THE FORCES OF NATURE
Those who came from the green hue also called the Older Gods, they are entities that existed at
the dawn of time, worshiped by humans from their early years.
The Older Gods represent the most pure concept found in nature; Creation, destruction, depths,
mountains and the twisted truth that hides on the moonlight.
Even if some say that the Gods abandoned humanity a long time ago, their influence is still strong
as ever to this day.
THE WORLD OF FEAR AND HUNGER
The world of fear and hunger is one where mythology, occultism and religion have a prominent
appearance among society. It is a dark fantasy world that shows similarities with our own, but
the horrors found there are not of normal appearance.
An occurrence like the dungeons of fear and hunger and the festival of termina are NOT normal.
Most of the history on this world is safe inside books, but one should take what they read with a
pinch of salt, no... a jar of salt!
The continent of Europa is home to territories such as Rondon, which houses the
“Dungeons of Fear and Hunger“ ; The Vatican City, where the Ministry of Darkness
resides ; The Eastern sanctuaries, with the holy capital Jettaiah, where Alllmer the
Ascended one was born.
Rondon is the heart of western civilization, being a kingdom that once was a terrain in dispute by a lot of powers,
they all united into one flag.
Inside Rondom lies The Dungeons of Fear and Hunger, a prison built above ruins that alone tells the tale of an
ancient and still corrupted past. Many rumors surround the Dungeons; that they are a nexus for older gods to
communicate with humanity or that a heart of darkness hangs on a black void on the deepest level of the dungeon.
At the capital, The Great library of Rondon resides, renowned for their vast collection of historical and scientific
knowledge.
The Ministry of Darkness resides in the Vatican city, a country found in the south
of Europa. Serving as a political and religious force, the Ministry of Darkness is the
central organism of Dark priests that promotes the worship of All gods, althou-
gh, at some point in the Cruel age, the Vatican took Alllmer’s church as principal
worship. The Vatican City is also known by the mobster movement that was born
in the late Cruel age.
Eastern Sanctuaries is the heart of the eastern world, the sultanate holds great impor-
tance to the history of humanity, being that Alllmer, the
ascended one, was born in the holy capital of Jettaiah, a hot spot for all kinds of tra-
ding.
During the ruling of the dictatorial Sultan Nashrah the Great wizard of the East, he
made multiple campaigns, conquering terrains for the Eastern Sanctuaries, only failing
multiple times on the conquest of Edo, which ended up in the creation of a territory in-
side of the Eastern Sanctuaries called Yansa Aryuaban, where both cultures combined,
being the Jizamurai one of the results of such mix.
Voroniya is a country bordering Edo is a country found in
the Eastern Sanctuaries, later to an island on the far east,
be known as the Voroniyan Republic, in the 8th century, they
Voroniya allied with the Eastern managed to repel the va-
Sanctuaries in the first great war in rious attempts of expansion
the later years of the Dark age, ma- of the Eastern Sanctuaries.
king war against the Bremen empire The samurai are a class
of warriors born from the
ways of Edo.
Near the borders of Voroniya and Bremen, you can find Bohemia. A Country
that never stopped worshiping Old deities, being one of the central parts of its
culture, with the capital Prehevil built around the Moon Tower.
At some point in history, Bohemia has been a victim of crossfire between
Rondon and Eastern Sanctuaries.
