Description

Welcome to Haven, a city where the oppressed must rise to become the last line of defense against the forces of evil.

Magic has been outlawed for centuries. People with mythical gifts like yours are hated, hunted, feared, and oppressed. The world is now ruled by science, steel, and industry, and society has been taught to fear the supernatural. At best, you and your kind are nothing more than a fairytale. At worst, you are the state's greatest threat. 

For centuries, using magic meant death. But now something worse has returned: demons from another world, nightmarish monsters that feed on chaos and violence, and the world needs fighters like you to protect the population from their invasion.  Guns and bullets do no good against this ancient evil; only your people and your supernatural powers have the ability to fight fire with fire. Suddenly, your gifts are no longer a curse. They're the world's last hope. 

So you join the Shepherds: an elite order of heroes that the world might fear more than the demons themselves. As a Shepherd, you’ll solve magical crimes, engage in epic battles against demonic horrors, and build your reputation as a champion of the people. Explore the world of Blest. Recruit allies and factions to join the Shepherds’ cause. Find romance and companionship. Investigate mysteries, lead rebellions and exorcisms, and uncover answers to the crises plaguing the world. Why are the demons returning now? Why have the creators of this world fallen silent, if they ever existed at all? Who are you, really? 

And will you be the beacon of hope the world so desperately needs... or will you be the flame that burns it all down?
