Bloodlines: Last Hope
Demons, humanity's ancient and persistent foe. One hellbent on controlling and dominating humanity. For centuries it was up to various groups and holy orders to defend humanity from this threat over the centuries. A war that has seen both success and failure. The greatest of these victories was the death of the Demon king Thozath and most of his legions. Though the demons still remained, they were no longer as numerous as they were before, and the war with demonkind went underground. With demons beginning to operate in the shadows and strike unsuspecting humans. Which the strongest of the human orders. The Wardens of Light have taken up the task of hunting down these demons wherever they could be found.
But, what of the failures, you might ask. However, there have been setbacks over the centuries in this war. The two worse of all were the enslavement of the Sagian and the deaths of the Voi Clan. The Sagian a race that once lived and coexisted with humanity in the past. But, sometime after the death of Thozath, one of his lieutenants, Urkenith devised a plan to strengthen the demon horde by enslaving the Sagian. Who were both stronger and more durable than humans. By tricks and lies, Urkenith manipulated the Sagion leaders and used the last traces of Thozath's blood in a ritual that bound the Sagians to the demon horde. No one, not even the mighty Wardens, could save the Sagions from their cruel fate. For only Clan, Voi were the only ones that could reverse such a ritual, for they were the descendants of the ancient god Voi. His blood flows in their veins and granted them unique magics that would be the only thing that could free the Sagions. But, they were heavily weakened after Thozath's death as many of their numbers died during the battle and Urkenith directed what demons remained to hunt them down. No one was spared, and soon the once great clan was wiped out with their own hope of being free gone. Most Sagion turned to despair and were now forced to serve the demons that they once fought against.
But, unknown to all, Clan Voi did not die out as most thought. For a single baby had survived the extermination and would be found by a kind couple. Unaware of his heritage and powers, this baby would grow up and later foster children. Continuing the bloodline and the hidden hope that the Sagion could be free once again.
Fast-forward to the present of 2024. Demons, magic, the Wardens, and most of the past have been faded into legend and myth. The war continuing albeit from behind the scenes. For the most part, people of today have to worry about mundane problems. But, for a group of college students in Philadelphia, they will see a glimpse of not only this war but of the power that lies in their veins. The power of Voi which will make them both the most coveted for the Wardens and the most wanted by the demons. Whenever they realize their power and undo the ritual that binds the Sagion or fall to the demons is up to the actions of these students.
