Continuing the reign of the German Empire from the First World War, the Reich is ruled under what is now known as the "lich Kaiser" who rules an extreme and oppressive Monarch regime. The Reich has continued its rule through the channeling and use of other worldly dark powers through the occult. These occult practices are run by the Marquis General Herman Von Heïzinger who along with the Obscura Korps of the 13th Occult Division are attempting to locate the magical lost relics, particularly the Obscura Cardinal Cornerstones that can open dimensional portals to hell itself. Heïzinger himself can utilize psychic abilities while his personal bodyguard Karl Zerman is a demonic super soldier with phantasmal like weaponry and abilities. In addition to the Korp is Eva Kramer, a specialist assassin and investigator. The Reich utilizes its dark powers within his troops, with the Schocktruppen class who are also specialized with knowledge of other worldly powers and the Stosstruppen who are literally demon-human hybrids. While the historical basis for the Reich is the First World War, the art style and character design is closer to that of Nazi Germany.
