The Bleeding Age
In the Bleeding Age, humanity clings to fortified walls while ancient predators—Dracula's blood‑bound vampires and Lycaon's savage werewolf packs—carve the world into zones of preservation and relentless destruction, each silently battling for the other's downfall. Every night is a siege of fear, where rivers are the only safe arteries and the very land shifts under the weight of a forgotten abomination that still whispers through cracked forests and haunted ruins.
