The Letter Of The Law

Ancient Sorcerers were giant bags of Dicks.

No really, hear me out: in what we call the 'Age of Solomon', (10,000-5,000 BC,) a group of Ancient Sorcerers tries to conquer death; Manages It!!!

But of course there's a catch, because... honestly, Ancient Sorcerers always left little loopholes in their contracts that Demons and Eldritch Forces exploited.

A friend of mine once said that they just needed better Lawyers, but they were too busy actually burning all the lawyers back then, instead of the witches.

Anyway! They managed to fuck up royally, and while that's all interesting and stuff, we like to just fast forward to the present!!! And now you've got Demons roaming the streets at night, and also the Death-Aligned hunters killing them all, in a never-ending battle for the fate of the world! Just peachy!

Unless you're one of the people who get caught up in it all as 'Collateral Damage'.
