Toronto

The shadowlands has experienced the Sixth Great Malestrom, almost destroying Stygia, the Dark Kingdom of Irons' grand imperial city. Across the Shadowlands necropoli fell in its wake as the surfing spectres laid their assault upon the restless dead. The Shadowlands fell into chaos.

Toronto was no exception. It too surpassed the Bulwark walls and infiltrated. The Hierarchy mobolized in Toronto's garrisons and staged an outright assault against the Spectre legions. The Legions suffered terrible losses, but Toronto was fortified and held. Victory was the Legions.

The history of Toronto is known to many, even those who do not sit within it's Bulwark. How a band of rebels ousted the Hierarchy and declared themselves a Free City. How they withstood a second attack from the Penitent, yet crumbled like rebels due when the true might of the Legions marched the Necropoli's streets.

The Tempest looms over the Shadowlands like a plague. The Sixth Great Maelstrom, mighty still and not yeilding, has become the Storm That Never Fades. The tempest winds bustle the Shadowlands as a whole, not leaving a single place safe save for Necropoli and their Bulwarks. The Tempest does not yield to the lower depths any longer.

Time has past since those dark days, and they grow even darker. Since the Hierarchy's takeover Toronto has become an inner-Dark Kingdom Hive. All manner of beings of the Underworld stroll the streets above and below. Spectres loom in the darkest of corners and Refugees or immigrants from other Kingdoms arrive from the many avenues of travel. Keeping all to the Legions has become impossible, many dont ally with the Legion, still proclaiming the status of 'Freewraith'. Swarans creep out of Chinatown, Loa and Africans move out of their alleys, and the Jade Empire holds it's power structure in Chinatown alone.

One could say, the Hiearchy has it's work cut out for them.

Fugitives are lose, vagabonds are hunted, the Legions are at their truest darkest hour in holding Toronto once more. Surrounded by Conquered Territories of the Jade Empire, with Chinatown merely next door, the Hierarchy attempts its best to place Toronto under it's firm control. But a shadow begins to overloom the Shadowlands, with Oblivion in his eyes, and a thirst beyond even Oblivion couldn't stand to.

Where do you stand?
