The old gods have been forgotten. None worship them, and their images are desecrated and used as advertisements.
The old gods are angry. How dare their worshippers forget them? It is through their power that the world continues to exist!
The old gods will be remembered. Mankind will fear their power once more.
Welcome to the world of Hunted. The old gods have had enough of mankind’s insolence and have decided to force them to worship them once more. To that end, they first unleashed a cataclysm on the world, destroying much of civilization. Soon after they released monsters of all shapes and sizes to harass mankind. Today only the cities are safe, and then only because they have been fortified. There are some small communities that are able to exist - the monsters seem to be drawn to larger groups of people, particularly those who do not show the proper reverence to the gods.
Travel is extremely dangerous. Caravans are always attacked at some point in their journey, and thus have to rely on armed escorts to get through safely. Even air travel isn’t safe, as the aerial monsters are among the deadliest in existence. Sea travel is generally considered to be suicide. There are no defenses against the massive monsters that haunt the oceans, and the only way to ensure that any ships finish the voyage is to travel in large numbers and accept that at least half the group will be destroyed.
