In the eastern continent, the most powerful kingdom had thrown its full support behind the religion of Björn. This belief system, once a fringe cult, was spreading like wildfire. Its teachings offered power to the powerless, and the cost? Blood. The ritualistic murder of others, in the name of Björn, granted individuals strength without the need for talent or hard work. For a kingdom/ Individual hungry for power and dominance, this was a tempting offer.
Reports of ritualistic killings were becoming commonplace, whispered in the streets like gossip. People murdered in their own homes, their bodies desecrated in sacrificial rites to gain power. And the more the religion of Björn spread, the more humanity's fear of the children of the gods began to fade. Björn's followers believed they could challenge the demigods themselves.
