Background Story

As Lurian settlers established their presence in the untamed lands of Fissoa Fields, a wave of displaced Fissoan and Madinan refugees sought refuge in the region. Although they arrived with little to their names, they brought with them intriguing tales of local creatures that stirred both curiosity and concern among the settlers.

One particular creature, known as the pretender, possessed a terrifying ability: it could consume a person's soul and assume their form, masquerading as any human it devoured. Recognizing the potential danger this posed to their fledgling settlement, the esteemed Radiant Council made a decisive choice. They would dispatch a specialized unit of soldiers, charged with the crucial task of locating and eliminating the pretender before it could infiltrate their ranks. The last reported sighting of the creature indicated it had taken refuge in the war-torn city of Madina, prompting the soldiers to embark on their treacherous journey.

After an arduous voyage, the soldiers' ship finally docked at the partially destroyed harbor of Madina. Eager to commence their mission, they wasted no time in surveying the city's remnants in search of the elusive pretender. However, the surviving locals, plagued by mistrust and trauma, regarded any unfamiliar face with suspicion. In such an environment, the soldiers soon realized that their mission would be far from straightforward. Unable to establish trust with the wary residents, who had even lost faith in their own kind, the soldiers found themselves facing a challenging road ahead.

To prevent the pretender from infiltrating the returning ship and endangering the settlement, the ship's captain made a difficult decision. He would depart, promising to return in a few weeks to retrieve the soldiers. Until then, they were left with a limited timeframe to locate and neutralize the insidious creature.

Finding shelter in buildings near the harbor, the soldiers established a temporary base, distancing themselves from the wary locals for the time being. Doubts lingered regarding the existence of the pretender, its nature merely whispered rumors. Nonetheless, the soldiers remained determined, hoping to hunt down this elusive threat before their ship returned to carry them away.

With the clock ticking and the city's secrets shrouded in uncertainty, the soldiers embarked on their perilous mission, venturing into the unknown depths of Madina. Their objective clear, their fate uncertain, they sought to protect their settlement from an insidious predator that could assume the guise of anyone. Only time would tell if their collective efforts would prove successful before the ship's return, marking a race against time and an ultimate test of their resolve.
