For millennia uncounted humanity has struggled against nightmarish creatures hidden in the shadows of Creation. Though these Godless monstrosities are whispered to be legion, none share a more intertwined destiny with mankind than the Non-Human. Origins lost to antiquity, an instinctual desire drives humanity to eradicate them to the last, for influence between the two species breeds a parasitic self-destructive existence.
