Naturally, being paranoid of the unknown as humans often are, they also devised a way to imprison it once it came through. They learned things from the whisperings of these otherworldly entities and eventually attempted to open a portal to bring one across. Humans at some point had come into communication with extra-dimensional beings. Cairn has become ground zero of an eternal war between two otherworldly powers, the Aetherials, who view human bodies as a resource to use, and the Chthonians, who are intent on destroying humanity before that can happen. The game takes place in Cairn, a dark, war-torn world where a once proud empire has been brought to ruin and the human race driven to the edge of extinction.
