The village of Vamp'Ire has lived peacefully for generations, but that peace has always been conditional—held in place by the absence of what the old stories describe. When a wielder of dark magic appears on the region's roads, the village council musters a militia and begins preparing for the worst. The player joins as a raw recruit with no particular destiny visible on the horizon, unaware that the conflict ahead will transform them into something the same old stories warned everyone about.
