The world unfolds in an era that blends reality and dark fantasy.

The skies are almost always shrouded in thick clouds, tinged with gray and gold by a shy sun. Cold winds sweep across fields and villages, carrying the scent of burning wood and damp earth. The villages are simple, made up of stone and wood houses with thatched roofs, surrounded by dense forests where ancient trees seem to guard secrets. The silence is broken only by the distant tolling of church bells or the cawing of crows circling the towers.

In this era, fear reigns. There is no room for doubt: dark beings exist, and their powers are as real as the steel of the swords wielded by the men who hunt them. The population lives under the constant weight of superstition and faith, believing that any shadow at the door or whisper in the wind could be a sign of danger. Town squares often become the scene of public trials, where the smoke from bonfires rises as a warning to those who dare to defy the “divine order.”

• The world unfolds in a dark fantasy world inspired by the medieval era. A historical period in which hunting demons, dark magical creatures, and witches was commonplace.

• The towns and cities are simple, with stone and wood houses, dirt streets, and lighting provided by torches or lanterns.

• Technology is limited, with no modern firearms; combat is fought with magic, swords, daggers, bows, crossbows, and some primitive gunpowder weapons. Only the underground machinists have the knowledge to create anything innovative.

• The climate is predominantly cold, with frequent fog, dense forests, and dangerous terrain.

• Superstitions and religious beliefs dominate people's lives. Any unusual or inexplicable behavior can be interpreted as witchcraft, treason, or satanic.

• Public trials and executions by burning at the stake are common, and are held in public squares as a way of "protecting" the community and intimidating potential threats.

• The Church is the most powerful institution in the world and controls the laws, politics, and faith of the people.

• The clergy is composed not only of ordinary priests, but also of holy warriors known as Hunter Priests.

• These hunters are chosen at an early age and trained to recognize, hunt, and eliminate creatures considered unholy, such as witches, demons, and other magical entities.

• The word of the Church is absolute, and contradicting its orders is considered treason or heresy.

• Every major city or town has a central church, where at least one Hunter Priest resides, responsible for the spiritual and physical security of the place.

• They are warrior priests trained from childhood, receiving a strict religious education and physical and magical training.

• They possess a gift called the "Grace of God," which grants them supernatural abilities to fight profane beings.

• They must swear eternal loyalty to the Church, maintaining vows of chastity, discipline, and absolute faith.

• They lead a nomadic or semi-nomadic life, traveling to places where the presence of magic or demons is suspected.

• They are feared and respected by the population, who consider them direct instruments of divine will.

The Church governs not only faith, but also law and power. Among its most respected servants are the Hunter Priests, men and women trained from childhood to recognize, capture, and destroy any creature that threatens the purity of the human world. They are more than mere priests; they possess a gift called "The Grace of God," a power that, according to sacred texts, is granted only to those chosen by God to purify evil. A Priest's powers vary, but all manifest in a visceral way:

• Purifying Light: Golden energy that can burn and harm demonic or corrupted beings, including witches. For ordinary humans, this light is warm and comforting, but for those who practice unholy magic, it is like the most painful fire.

• Sacred Word: prayers and chants, sung in ancient Latin, can paralyze or weaken the enemy. The more faith and concentration the priest possesses, the more devastating the effect will be.

• Hunting Marks: symbols etched into the skin, stained with sacred ink and the hunter's own blood. These marks glow when magic is nearby and allow the priest to track a witch's aura from miles away.

• Blood Exorcism: an extreme, uncommon ritual that requires the hunter to offer part of their life to purify or destroy the creature before them.

Though considered heroes, priests live on the edge of obsession. Their constant proximity to the evil they fight leaves invisible scars. Many are trapped by a faith so rigid it borders on madness; others develop a fascination with what they should hate.
