Zobek's journal

A storm is coming. Mankind faces ruin and despair. The world is changing, yet hope remains in the heart of the people. We go about our daily lives never knowing the forces that can change our destinies forever, we are oblivious, ignorant like sheep to the slaughter. This night in the year of our Lord 1047, marks the beginning of our journey together; a journey into darkness, into madness. I watch him from the shadows. Is he the one? He has come far already but he will be tested; tested to the very limits of human endurance...and beyond. This night he rides looking for the old gods, armed with an amulet that has led him here; tonight he will begin his journey into oblivion.

Checkpoints

• Gabriel fought the horde of Lycanthropes in the hope of freeing the small village from the siege.
• The Great Warg destroyed the wooden fence as if it was made of paper, and leapt onto Gabriel for the kill.
