Story

The world of Umbra is a dying world. Once with flooded divine light, the world was left abandoned when it’s Gods died eons ago. All that was left was the darkness and the monsters that fed on the suffering of mortals. Save for a few chosen heroes there was no one to help.

Those heroes, known as Blessed Ones, had the unique ability to channel the light through them and into victims of the blight. This power came with a cost however, by healing others the Blessed Ones would be taking the blight’s darkness into themselves, slowly but surely dooming themselves to the same fate as the other infected.

This did not deter the Blessed Ones, they pushed forward and did their best to heal as many people as possible. The more people they could heal, the more they could push back the oncoming darkness. 

This battle of light and darkness has been raging for 783 years in a never ending stalemate. Every time the Blessed Ones push back the darkness, the darkness takes one of their own. 

Now, present day, Umbra is on the verge of death. With the eldest Blessed One dying from the blight only 3 months ago, the world and it’s people know that their final days are ahead.

Despite this, the youngest and last surviving Blessed One is determined to help as many people as she can before she dies. But what can one young woman do when the fates seem to conspire against her?
