Darkness that comes before synopsis posted 02 February 2004 in The Darkness That Comes BeforeDarkness that comes before synopsis by Mithfânion, Didact

In a world scarred by an apocalyptic past, untold thousands assemble for holy war. Among them, two men and two women find themselves ensnared by a mysterious traveller from lands long thought dead. Will they unravel his secret in time to prevent a second apocalypse? Will they see the difference between the passion that elevates and the passion that enslaves?


This is a history of a great and tragic holy war, of the mighty factions that sought to possess and pervert it, and of a son searching for his father. And like all histories, it is we, the survivors, who will write its conclusion.

In a world scarred by an apocalyptic past, untold thousands gather for Holy War, determined to wrest the Holy City of the Latter Prophet from the hands of their heathen kin. Among them walks Anasûrimbor Kellhus, a mysterious traveler from lands long thought dead, the product of two thousand years of breeding and a lifetime of training in the ways of thought, limb, and face. Steering souls through the subtleties of word and expression, he slowly binds all-man and woman, emperor and slave-to his own mysterious ends.
