June 14th, 2016, the angels came down to earth.  Christians saw this as a sign of the oncoming rapture and their guaranteed places in heaven.  On the other hand, skeptics viewed these “angels” as faux emissaries of a god that doesn’t exist.  Turn out that both parties were right!  During their brief stay on in the public eye, the angels vexed the masses with their sheer beauty and the telling of “The Second Coming”, but never elaborated on who, or what, was coming.  

Only a month after the angels’ departure, the “rapture” occurred, but it wasn’t what religious folk had in mind.  Something wrought forth a plague of the living dead that shambled across all corners of the earth.  Though it came as a startling realization that no one was safe from the gnashing jaws of the living dead!  The people of the world were slaughtered indiscriminately, religious or otherwise.  It seemed this plague would consume the earth if humanity allowed so.

Those who survived the initial attacks went in search of safety.  Others felt the need to discover a cure for this new plight that humanity faced.  However, there were those who didn’t care for sanctuary or panacea, but something else entirely.  Some of the world’s intellectual elite went in search of these “angels”.  They’re descent onto earth happened only a month prior to the first report of the dead walking.  A benevolent god wouldn’t send down angels’ just too damn humanity with a plague soon after.  There had to be a connection between the two, and it is up to the fringes of humanity find out!

The ice deep in the north has melted to reveal a new world hidden under the ice. It holds vegetation and animals that seem unworldly when compared to ours, but hidden in the deepest part of this world is another cave with the oldest surviving strains of an ancient bacteria capable of taking host of dead creatures and reanimating them into beasts worse than before. This strain had grown weak over the ages and was nearly extinct, but the human immune system, never being exposed to this, caused the strain to thrive inside its new unexpecting host and spreads out to the world. It starts small, just a speck on the hands of a few people, but soon, it spreads to door handles, pens, books, chairs, things like that. It continues spreading and now has infected its first corpse, the remains of an ant. This new creature comes and spreads to that ant's nest and then to the animals that eat them. Before less than a month passed, the virus had spread to a graveyard in the hidden grottos of the Yukon. This virus, now able to think from the new minds of fresh bodies, can strategize. In only another week, the epidemic had spread to the northern edge of the United States. Spreading further and further in, people began to notice this strange happening. From people disappearing to entire towns popping out of existence, the bacteria continued to spread. To keep order, the governments had those who disappeared erased from existence, but it wasn't enough. The takeover of those long gone happened in less than three weeks and society collapsed. Spreading overseas, it began its removal of life in Europe, but that's a story for another day. We now come to those few remaining settlements in the collapsed U.S, now called The Crumbled Land. What does this new land hold hidden deep in the remnants of its former glory?

In an alternative version of Earth, humanity's been close to decimated by two large calamities, separate in time, with the span of a hundred years between them. Much was lost, other than lives, but much was also gained. Resources, civilisation, techonlogy, all these dwindled to near-nothing, but on advent of the First Calamity, magic came. And the few who could hold it in their hands, soon learnt how they could use it to their gain - and to help the fate of mankind. Or so they said. With great power comes great responsibility, but also greed and ambition. Now that nature had been conquered by the magical powers of those who carried that trait, they started looking elsewhere. Sickness, diseases, ailments big or small, these could all be eradicated. Given time, even death could be conquered, and immortality claimed! Unable to realise they were about to release a Second Calamity upon the world, those powerful scholars pursued their goals, with no regard for the consequences. And these were worst than they could have imagined - for the dead started raising from their graves and preying on the living. Some of them were even sentient. Years into the advent of the Second Calamity, mankind has devised ways of protecting those without powers, by use of the ones imbued with magic. Under the flag of the Confederation of Nations, hunters, scholars, healers, spellcasters, are trained and brought together in Covenants that fight the undead and make the world safer. But when the lurking creatures start acting out of character and unexpected events begin to take place, can the Confederation still be trusted? Follow the Quarter Moon Covenant as they hunt the monsters who seek to destroy them and struggle to understand what secrets have been kept from them. And from the whole of humanity, as well.

When a zombie apocalypse hits the world on its National Thanksgiving, in less than 24 hours, villages, cities, towns, entire countries are wiped out. Gone away into the dust, to never be seen. Nah, they all emerge as mindless angry creatures that would destroy anything in it's path to get a drop of your blood. Zombies. Not just the regular zombies you see in TV. Not the slowpokes, dumb, crazied flesh-eating monsters. No, these zombies can see, smell, run, climb, they can imitate and God help us they understand and not simply imitate. What happens when these zombies begin to gain intelligence? Every living thing evolves and if it doesn't; it's not worthy of being called 'living'. So when the remaining of humanity remains unmoving, stagnant but the zombies keep growing in mass, intelligence, strength; living. Living on the bare minimum, working your back, seeing loved ones day every single day, hearing screams of help from all around you but knowing how you couldn't do anything. This is a world where surviving wasn't... surviving. Living hurts. This is a world where even horror die-hard fans would rather not be in. For you to live, you have to be insane. And thankfully for one of our characters, they've gone insane.
