Welcome to The Final Nights!
Welcome! The World of Darkness is a sprawling collection of splatbooks, lore novels, video games, and all kinds of other storytelling methods. It can feel overwhelming at times to try to consume the series. To try to assist those new to the setting, we're developing a series of pages of condensed lore. This page is a short summary of our setting that will help new players understand the lore, and more importantly help them understand the ins and outs of their chosen splats. After reading this page, and the Character Creation, you'll know enough to play something more than an ignorant mortal.

Supernaturals with the capability to shapeshift, and their non-shifting kinfolk, fight the longest war between a Triat of creator gods. The Wyld, The Weaver, and the Myriad Wyrm consume all in their path to their ends. Gaia sleeps, is in constant suffering, or is already dead all the while.
