"Parched and crumbling... World in its Final Age..."

"Drowning Sands vomited by Idol of Ruin... Eternal Life blessed by Goddess of Communion..."

"By the grace of Old Spirits you are lifted to this Hell again... And again..."

"The Insignificant is thursted again and again into a hellish world of Aferath, where one either suffers endlessly by a lowborn’s rusty knife or by succumbing into Drowning Sands that covers everything. By the grace of godly beings death itself has been vanquished. And so there is only agony. The reasons forgotten, The Insignificant only knows that they have to find the keys to the Gates and destroy the Old Spirits sleeping within. Hopefully ending this madness."
