In a world where even the lowliest servant has some measure of magical ability, the powers that be covetously guard the source and the capacity to increase their powers. Sadly only the very rich, very powerful, well connected or naturally gifted are encouraged into higher echelons of this elitist society.
It is a world of many races, all working to their strengths. Whilst there are prejudices, as happens, anywhere where there are differences they are usually small or personally driven feuds.
The exceptions are Baels,\Maenads\long lived lore keepers and kin to Daemons\ Fae , being of immense power, originally a benevolent race, they have been hunted mercilessly as devils bringers of doom , stealers of children, rapers of women creatures hell bent on the destruction of the lesser races.
Truth is these creatures are the guardians of the Allure, the power that gives the world all its magic. This fact has always been withheld from the masses by the powers that be, whilst they also fuel the hatred with cleverly woven fear mongering and propaganda.
Now certain they are down to the last few of the Bael the Most powerful put their ultimate plan into action. What do they want? To kill the keepers of the Allure taking it for themselves and remove the ability from everyone except those they deem most worthy.
What they don’t realise is when the last one dies so will the worlds connection to the Allure. Something else they do not know is that once every 1000 years A chosen member of the Bael goes on a mission to replenish the veil that keeps the world protected from their chaos blooded kin, who linger on the fringes of the world hungry for the opportunity to one day gain access wreak total destruction. The time has come for this ritual to be performed again.
Can this ancient protector of the world convince their wold be assassin to aid them or will the Hunter take the Bael and its secrets to their employers, bringing about a future doomed to chaos.
