Story

In HG, London is being invaded by demons from hell, in the year 2038. There were warnings and there was a prophecy, but so deep were we in our innovations and new sciences that a mere prophecy was a fool s myth to us. We ignored it and finally they arrived from hell, and this ain t a group of Chinese tourists here for clicking photos. These are demons who want to rule London and claim it as their own; they are more like dominators.

Emerging from the chaotic Hellgate, they besieged humanity's defenses quickly and steadily. Even the nuclear and biological weaponry employed by a few desperate nations did little more than slowing the apocalypse. The nature of the demons'attack presented little in the way of strategic military targets to the generals of mankind s armies. With no obvious headquarters to bombard, no visible supply lines to cut, or unknown leaders to assassinate, the usual tactics of war were useless (it's like watching a TV series called Desperate Army Husbands.)

Only those that still practiced the holy, ancient, and arcane rights could stand against the dark invaders, using weapons and spells forged in the tradition of their forefathers. Their successors were scattered, and the leaders of the great military forces could neither understand nor accept their strange ways.
