— The History —
1861
A CHANCE DISCOVERY.A COMMON ENEMY.
In 1861, you search for gold in a gold mine. By chance, you stumble upon a settlement deep underground.
The civilians tell you that the Union and the Confederacy have divided the cavern territory between them. The people of the settlement live between these rival factions.
Soon, you discover that there is a common enemy here: demons. They threaten settlers and soldiers on both sides alike. Your search for gold leads you into a world of human conflict and supernatural danger.
