Gods have throughout history been the great observers and allies of the men who've prayed and called upon them, for some they gain their blessing for others their guidance but they gift to all a great deal of lies and an unbreakable chain of destinies both wretched and legendary.

When the church has no men to spare for exterminating murderous monstrosities settlers opt for a traditional monster hunter then again for enough coin anyone can be one. For Ckzerin Bartleby it was never about the coin, it was about starting anew and abandoning the past, but then the old man died, and the goddess that blessed him offered him a chance for vengeance.
