(This game is going to be a test for a system for my rtd. It's also set in the same setting, just a different city with a lot of different things. The most important difference between this and the rtd is that you won't be leaving the city. All the dungeons and fighting will be under the city.)
Long ago, a man known only as the Trickster slew all the gods of Anchor. The God of Light was snuffed out. The God of Life was ended. The God of Justice faced judgement. Many other gods were killed in his wake as well. The Trickster gathered them together and killed them all, bringing about hundreds of years of darkness. Life could no longer be created naturally, and mass-cloning vats were created to sustain the population.
The ones who rule Anchor now are the Godless, a cult of misotheists who took the place of the gods who ruled Anchor. They administrate their own law, working with what little technology they have. They have outlawed the praise and worship of gods, instead following human leaders like the Trickster. They have elaborate festivals where effigies of the old gods are burned and offered to statues of the Trickster.
You, an average citizen of Anchor, was contacted by a god a thousand years dead. He has granted you incredible powers beyond your imaginings. Now the god wants to be resurrected, and bring back the glory of Anchor. You are his instrument, Paladin.
