Vast forests, teeming with menacing creatures and otherworldly beings, now dominate the land. Sheltered pockets of humanity struggle to survive in small fortified settlements. A perilous consequence of the war is that humans burst into flames when near even a small fire source, due to a unique weapon employed in the conflict.
