The camera pans over a devastated landscape, 1914. Eight centuries of war have reduced the earth to mud, trenches, and craters. Fog clings to the ground as titanic artillery, some over 300 feet tall, loom on the horizon. New Antioch’s walls stand firm, guarded by Anchorite Shrines, while Heretic forces lurk in the shadows. Soldiers in WWI uniforms mixed with religious garb move through the sludge. The air smells of brimstone and rot. This is the Trench Crusade. you stands amidst the chaos, the weight of the endless war pressing down. The stalemate between Heaven and Hell is absolute, and the horror is palpable.
