"In a world of magic ruled by primodial beings made of mana, humanity was on the rise, slowly forming their society. Creating, learning and cultivating. 

Forming religion.

Then came the birth of the human god.

A mother godess.

Humanity unitied under her rule and they prospered as she birthed the pantheon of demigods to aid humanity.
Yet the mana of the world did not see the new creature of faith and her offspring as its own. And a conflict of new and old began. And is still on going as humanity clashes with beings and races decending from mana in a war in stalemate."

Viktor is an orphan under apprenticeship of the miller of Kutlava as the eldest apprentice, soon to finish his apprenticeship. 
Yet the slow life of a miller that is ahead of him after his apprenticeship in some village or town in need of a miller seems to not suit his tastes as he's been frequenting the adventures guild of the city aptly monikered as the "Vagrant's Guild."

So begins our story about Viktor and the Grimoire Phylactery of the Danse Macabre. In a world of mana and gods waging war a forgotten magic craft returns beyond its grave after humanity had turned to religion and forgotten the times before gods.

May the dance of death commence.
