Welcome to the Grimdark. 


OVERVIEW OF CONCEPT
Premise: We shall be playing in a low fantasy world that due to the appearance of a lovecraftian force of darkness in the centre of the world has been sent down the drain to its current (Grim)dark fantasy state. This is a remake of Serp88's original Sacrilege War RP.

In terms of influences, think Tolkien meets lovecraft meets europe during the bubonic plague. The world is a crapsack under siege by eldritch forces. All mortal (And some immortal) life wages a war of extinction against impossible odds and regularly loses. When not fighting for their lives, civilizations commonly turn on each other over petty issues with tragic results. Benevolent gods are progressively becoming weaker and weaker, impotent against the relentless assault of darkness. The living stand defiant with collective awesome might, however for every step heroes and warriors take forward, the living as a whole take three steps back.
