[The Beginning]
The year is 2050. Around the world, nations tire of watching and waiting for attacks on their borders that never come. Preemptive strikes are made in the interest of national security. Nuclear weapons are launched. Millions are killed. Nations are devastated. And when the last of the bombs fell, the clouds rolled in, the sun disappeared, and a nuclear winter began.
[The Fallout]
Humanity has reached its lowest point. Those who survived the nuclear war now face radioactivity, nuclear fallout, and the possibility of starving to death. It is in these times that a new terror crawls forth from the shadows: Vampires. Once the stuff of legends, they now descend upon the ravaged world, forcing their way into governments, taking over nations, and using the curse they carry to build an army from the hapless mortals that surround them.
[The New Order]
The year is 2055. With much of America destroyed by nuclear blasts, Western Europe has become the center of the world. While 70% of the population still remains human, they are easily dominated by the 20% of the population that are no longer human. Ruling over the vampire population is a Council of Elders, led by seven of the strongest, oldest vampires alive.
[The Center of the Universe]
The place is London. Currently, the city is under jurisdiction of the Vaduva coven, now located in what was formerly Buckingham Palace. Vaduva Coven is led by Alana Dobrescu, the Elder of the United Kingdom, and her band of bloodthirsty accomplices. While the city center remains kept up, the outskirts of London have fallen into disrepair, used either as human containment camps or left in ruin for squatters.
[The Outsiders]
There are some, however, threatening the world order. Packs of humans have attempted to rise up over the past five years and strike down their vampire overlords, all in vain. Now, dhampirs – the children of vampires and humans, considered outcasts and anathema to all despite making up 8% of the population – have begun to stir the pot, trying to carve a space for themselves in this world.
[The Legends]
To add to the trouble caused by the humans and dhampirs, there are rumors circulating about the other 2% of the population. These people are known as Hunters – humans possessing special traits, who may be able to hold their own against the vampires…or perhaps even kill them.
[The Setup]
The Elders have converged upon London in order to assess the dhampir situation and the rumors of the Hunters. Will the humans be able to stand strong against seven of the most powerful vampires in the world? Will the dhampirs choose to side with the humans, or give in to their vampiric sides? And will the legendary Hunters be able to live up to their whispered reputations?
The world is dangerous.
The war is unyielding.
The night is eternal.
The war is unyielding.
