A plague was gone unnoticed for years, tainting every instance of anything it interacts with. Only the Affixed -those without Apparitions- can sense the Taint, they were also immune to it. After extensive research, a horrifying truth emerged. A cure could only be synthesized with the help of the Hated, a rare type of apparition deemed a danger to society. After the senior researcher Uriel manages to get his hands on Nyx -a Hated formerly part of the curved hand gang- and manages to convince her into assisting him in navigating the maze-like cave she once called home and winning over the illusion dispeller from the crooked claws gang, hopefully being able to help recognize the plague. Protector. Primal. Prey.
