Twilight of the Gods Campaign

Premise:
It is early 1348, in a Europe where magic is slowly dying. An evil Council has formed, whose ultimate goal is to kill all the gods and rise to godhood in their place. They are led by a name out of legend, a woman named Sorcha...or are they? Opposing them is a motley crew made up of people from the four corners of Europe; their sole advantages are faith and love.

The gods are dying, one by one. The Black Death is loose in the land. There are spies in every temple and traitors within every group of comrades. If our heroes fail, civilization as they know it will come to an end, all the magical races will die, and new, cruel gods will hold sway in the world.

Pray they do not fail...
