For seven centuries, the city of Job's Bet has flourished, it's residents growing powerful and wealthy under the protection of the Angels - majestic creatures of enormous power who descended from the sky to save humanity from the horrific Imbibers. Within the Shroud, an enchantment that keeps demonic entities from entering the city, Job's Bet has become an oasis: the center of culture, education and commerce for the whole continent. But as the city prepares to celebrate the eighth century of the Angel's Peace and coronate it's new ruler, it finds itself more strained than ever before. Dangerous, reality-shifting beasts plague the surrounding lands and the streets hum with plots of insurrection, spurred on by the radical fanatics known as the Moab. To the north, an ancient evil stirs in it's slumber, waiting for it's chance to strike. Only the Shroud, and it's attendant legions of Angels, protect the city from being torn down and swallowed into the dust.
Yesterday, the Angels disappeared - and the Shroud went with them.
