Like one of the plagues of Moses, an unearthly mist crept across the land, unleashing arcane powers upon an unsuspecting world. It started in the Middle East, and as the Earth turned and darkness fell across the globe the ghostly mists followed; within the span of 24 hours the world was cast into chaos.
The arcane power of the mists left much of humanity unaltered, but those it touched it transformed completely. Magic infused their very bones, manifested in their children, came unbidden to the fingertips of their women, and plagued their countryside with uncontrolled bursts of power. Beasts of the wilderness were turned by the mists into creatures of legend. Entire tribes of humans were altered by the flood of uncontrolled magic, changing before the very eyes of their friends and neighbors into the old races of myth. Ancient gods and the spirits of the deceased were awakened from their slumber to walk among the living. The world would never be the same.
The year is now 37 BCE, year 5 of a new and terrible age, and the Middle East sits at the center of a vast struggle to control humanity’s fate. Three nations have harnessed the power unleashed by the Night of Mists. As they struggle to claim dominance over the known world, their arcane legions are yours to control!
