Upon the western continents have the gods smiled, rewarding bloody dedication with knowledge and power beyond what even the greatest of kings could ever imagine. Now, all men may stave off death and richest are born anew as gods of blood and of flesh. Each generation grows further and further from the weakness of man, closer to those fabled heights dreamt anew every night amidst the fulfillment of prior lusts. Larva had seen it all and realized their time is soon to come. Once the children of the gods increased in number, they'd destroy the sons of men. None will listen to them or hear their warning, so journeying to the east they seeks to carve out new territory where he shall rule as prince. In the process he discovers new magics that might slay even incarnated gods. The Knight Roland is sent alongside the inquisition to see what manner of heresy abounds in the western coasts and happens upon this monstrous noble, Larva.
