Clementine. The city of light, as they call it. A Utopian city, basically, with the most advanced of technology for this age and developed of society, controlled by 'The Council Of Governors'. It's one of many such cities formed a thousand years ago following the events of the great war. Each of these cities are enclosed within tall and rigid walls, and are all scattered around the earth.

My name is Peregrine. Peregrine Snowflake, as my mama called me. And I'm going to tell you a story about humanity's past many years ago. I'm going to tell you, A Tale Of Fiends.

More than three thousand years ago, in the year 1505, humanity got plagued by an existence worse than any disease it had ever known, or any terror it had ever encountered. Beings from the underworld found their way to earth's surface. It wasn't a plague humanity expected.
