A thousand years ago, this was a land of beauty and magic. Then came the cataclysm which blotted out the sun and ripped open the gates to the land of the dead. The city of Doskvol is a metropolis of refineries and tenements surrounded by crackling lightning towers. Outside the city is a wasteland of ravening undead. Inside the city is a teeming hive of scum and villainy, intrigue and corruption. Life is cheap in a city ruled by death. The sun is gone and the only things that shine in Doskvol are the BLADES IN THE DARK!
