The Isle of Inscha - its beautiful shores welcoming all who visit her. Merchants, lords, travellers and more flock to this small island, the promise of fortunes made in trade far too tempting to ignore. But at her core dwells an insidious monster.

Behind the facade of beauty, and overseeing from a cliff top villa sits the self appointed king of Inscha, Giaus Thrax. Risen from the very streets he calls home, to the highest echelon of power, nothing happens on his island without him knowing and more importantly, allowing. Like a spider, all are trapped in his web.

His corruption soaks into the very pore of society, attracting all manner of nefarious and evil individuals. From the trade of olives and grapes the outside world sees a prosperous and welcoming place to make coin, but the real wealth is made in the dangerous underbelly of Damnitis, the capital, where the unscrupulous and depraved ply their trade in the streets, fighting pits, gladiatorial schools, chatell markets and other dens of iniquity.

Welcome to a world where Gaius Thrax' rule is absolute, tread carefully as life in Damnitis is cheap.
