In the land of Warlean, war rages between a place called the Sanctuary and two lords named Damon and Talon. The Sanctuary is a place where all the countries of Warlean get together to fight enemies over the sea, or those who become too powerful and threaten all those around them like Damon and Talon.
The land is split between light and dark, heaven and hell, the living and the undead. Damon and Talon are known as the Spirit of black. Damon is an immortal called a damned, while Talon is his soul known as a pneuma. The damned are already considered the evilest of beings in the land, with their pneumas often being known as the devil's own offspring. But being the only spirit of black, makes the other countries fear him even more.
Not being able to defeat or contain this threat, the Sanctuary goes against their own beliefs, to fight fire with fire.
