Setting
The game is set in the post-apocalyptic world of Terrinor, where a dark-ages level of technology predominates; the setting reflects low fantasy and gothic horror themes. The game's history tells of a cataclysmic event known as The Breaking, which took place during a war between two ancient races. A corruption of magic, the Black Blood, was an enduring product of this event. Chaotic and largely uncontrollable, the Black Blood was feared by most inhabitants of Terrinor.

Famous quotes containing the word setting:
“One of my playmates, who was apprenticed to a printer, and was somewhat of a wag, asked his master one afternoon if he might go a-fishing, and his master consented. He was gone three months. When he came back, he said that he had been to the Grand Banks, and went to setting type again as if only an afternoon had intervened.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In my dealing with my child, my Latin and Greek, my accomplishments and my money stead me nothing; but as much soul as I have avails. If I am wilful, he sets his will against mine, one for one, and leaves me, if I please, the degradation of beating him by my superiority of strength. But if I renounce my will, and act for the soul, setting that up as umpire between us two, out of his young eyes looks the same soul; he reveres and loves with me.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A fit abode for a poet. Stage setting at least correct.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
