Invasion of Hell, 2009

In the year 2008, the Mormons were proven right; the Gate to the Garden of Eden exists, and it was in America: Jackson County, Missouri. However, when the ritual to open it was complete, the fact that our myths are only based on reality, and not perfect documentation, became obvious very quickly.

When the seal on the gate was broken, the seal that kept the earth isolated was broken too, letting every Demon and legion of Hell start to open their own gates to earth.

Full Setting Description

In the year 2008, the Mormons were proven right; the Gate to the Garden of Eden exists, and it was in America: Jackson County, Missouri. However, when the ritual to open it was complete, the fact that our myths are only based on reality, and not perfect documentation, became obvious very quickly.

When the seal on the gate was broken, the seal that kept the earth isolated was broken too, letting every Demon and legion of Hell start to open their own gates to earth. So now earth is in a war with Hell, which isn’t the only danger that the people of earth face.

Plague, famine, environmental ruin. All consequences of the Corporate Wars, long before demons were making armies of flesh and bone. Movement between cities without a military caravan could have you dead or worse. And in the cities? The corporate war has people begging for scraps, being paid in money that doesn’t mean anything.

Will you make a name for yourself, change the world, free your fellow man? Or will you condemn it, either by greed or wrath?
