A long time ago, some mages messed with teleportation magic which made them stuck in a magical world that only allowed one-way teleportation hence with no way to return back home. Desperate to return at all cost, they used dark magic to the most obscene extent that, with time, they eventually became demons. Their Queen, a demoness named Lethia then planned to corrupt a thousand souls so they can use that power to escape the world they're stuck in...and corrupt both that one and their home world. To do so they corrupted humans and any other magical creatures (ranging from elves, centaurs, witches, lupines, cowfolk to bee folk, goblins, plantfolk and orcs...among many others) into cultists so they can bring the demons worthy and still-innocent teenage souls through the portals to the Demon Realm, never to be seen again. However one teenage girl managed to beat the demons inside the portal, while unarmed and went on a one-woman crusade a year earlier. She partially succeeded but at a cost and was never heard from again. Some say she died in the end while others say she became a demon herself. In any case, the evil threat still loomed and it's original corrupting plan still pressed forward. People still were abducted through those portals by those fanatic cultists.
However, back to the present, you are a mercenary caught up in this whole mess while living in a small town called Hawkthorne which is having quite a nasty unprecedented blizzard. You enjoy a drink that a burly Lupine bartender gives you to stave off the effects of the intense unforgiving cold outside. Then you hear commotion and you and the onlookers glance towards the entrance of the tavern. A gravely wounded cloaked cat girl priestess named Cait and her quest to find her missing sister...made it's arrival at your tavern. This encounter and your wish to help her find her missing sister would kickstart your adventure...
