Enter a Plane of Dread.... When the light fades and the moon rises over Innistrad, humanity becomes the universal prey. Packs of werewolves are drawn out by the moon, their humanity washed away by animal rage. Vampire families bare their fangs at the scent of human blood. Hordes of walking dead lurch across the manors and moors, driven by an innate hunger for the living. Alchemically created abominations twitch to life in alchemists' laboratories. Geists haunt the huddled human towns and terrify travelers along the dark crossways in between. From Innistrad's depths, powerful demons and impish devils plot humanity's downfall. The humans of Innistrad have done their best to fight back. They form torch-wielding mobs to cleanse the abominations with fire. They train specialized holy warriors called Cathars to strike back against the supernatural horrors. Most of all, they brandish the power of the Church of Avacyn. The Church is named for its leader, the powerful archangel Avacyn who has served as a stalwart guardian of humanity against the horrors of Innistrad's monsters. Of late, the Moors of Gavony have been howling with the undead. Greater waves of zombies, ghouls, wights and even worse things have been spotted slouching their way towards the frontier settlers to ravage their homesteads. The undead have even begun to radiate outward to Kessig in the south, Nephalia in the east, and Stensia in the west. The Cathar Order has begun to call its own, as well as recruit all who would aid them, in repelling this blight. Their mission is to find the source of the renewed undead presence and exterminate it for good. You are a human of Innistrad, from one of the four provinces of the plane, come to answer that call for whatever reason. Perhaps you are a Cathar yourself of the Church of Avacyn, or perhaps you are simply given to a grim duty to ensure your own family doesn't fall to the ravages of the renewed undead hordes. Whatever your reasons, you find yourself in league with the Cathars in their quest to vanquish this undead menace from Innistrad! Further Information on the Game: Tales From Innistrad
