The story
For many years you had been working for the governors. You investigated, conspired and even killed for them. It was right; who else could bring order to this chaotic world? Their principles were also yours… until you discovered the truth: those who you had served were only the puppets of the Circle, an ancient sect that spreads its darkness over the whole society. They had been using you. You tried to be who deceived them thwarting his plans while they still thought that you knew nothing. But they discovered and sentenced you to death.
Don’t be afraid; they did not get what they wanted. At the same time the executioner’s sword severed your neck, your soul left his prison. You had been working for them so long that their corruption got into you -something that even they imagined. Anybody can now be your container. Take advantage of your new talent and get the justice you deserve.
The world
Old brick walls separate the sectors of our city coming together in the great central Citadel, where the mighty weave their crimes between golden shines and soft thighs.
The ziggurat rises as the corpse of a huge sentry, threatening to wake up. His omnipresent shadow is just hidden by the toxic smokes emanating from a thousand chimneys and blast furnaces. Poisonous rivers spring from the factories polluting a sterile land. A great wall separates us from the outside; our jailer and guardian because there is only sand and death outside.
The people sleep lulled by the false grace of religious and their Seven Virtues, dazzled by the promise of a better life after death and submitted by guidelines that punish and degrade their nature.
Our Guard look over the streets of the city. Their black armors go unnoticed within the walls stained by ash. They have food, clean water and shelter; but without them the city would have been consumed long ago. Few people dare to speak out; less survive to be heard.
