The Starving

Set in a fantasy world trapped in ecological decline. Ages ago, the world was lush and beautiful. Rivers ran free, mountains capped with snow and ice, forest grew like cathedrals. Then the light died from the sky. For most of the people of the world, this was the beginning of the end. The edges of the world crumbled away, people starved, the world turned cold. For a time, the Blooded, vampires and vampyrs, flourished. They had once been trapped by the daylight and were vulnerable to the large civilizations of the other species but now darkness and anarchy freed them. For generations they feasted without care.   This is coming to an end. The world has grown too small, too cold, and too dark for their prey to live. The Blooded are now the ones starving. You and your fellow adventurers have been called upon by Queen Carmilla of the Belphegor clan, who claims to have a mission for you which will help save the Blooded from extinction.   You and your fellow adventurers have been called upon by Queen Carmilla of the Belphegor clan, who claims to have a mission for you which will help save the Blooded from extinction. She claims that a goddess has spoken to her and given her a prophecy about a "Fruit of Blood" hidden deep in the Wild Wood in the North. You are tasked with finding this "Fruit" and bringing it to her so that she can plant a grove from its seed and bring a new age of prosperity to the Blooded.
