What Is Nosgoth?

A gothic fantasy landscape with many ancient ruins dotting it. This is set during the time when Kain, the last vampire,  made a choice. To sacrifice himself restoring the world, or live as a dark god amongst its decay and rubble. Kain, in his refusal to die, has established an empire spanning the entire land, ruled by a council of 6 clans, clans descended from his 6 vampire sons. Technology has entered into a Dark Renassaince where vampire factories are churning out enough smoke to block out the sun's harmful rays allowing vampires to walk during the day. Humanity, or what is left of it, is either enslaved or living out in the wastelands as tribes trying to carve out life in their meek existence. The vampire clans quarrel with each other all too often ignoring the humans beneath their feet. 

Not all is just vampire quarrels and human optimism. No, something far more sinister lays beneath the breach of the very fabrics of reality. The hylden, an ancient adversary to the vampires, were banished into hell to suffer mutation and insanity from the realms' harmful effects to its denizens. Now, with Kain letting the world decay this has caused an opening for the hylden to return and seek vengeance on their old foe, humanity while not a threat to the hylden, is still a nuisance only good for slave labor to them as they march along the landscape with their massive Glyph engines and Demon armies ready to exterminate their hated rival.
