In the year 1915, amidst the rugged mountains of Karyes in Lakonia, Greece, a dire battle unfolds. Hell-spawned entities, unleashed upon the world centuries prior, have now reached the Peloponnese, leaving devastation in their wake. Amidst this chaos, the resilient warriors of New Antioch stand as the last bastion of hope, determined to repel the infernal tide and protect their homeland. Opposing them are the malevolent forces of the Court of the Seven-Headed Serpent, orchestrators of Hell’s war against Creation, seeking to corrupt and annihilate all in their path. The stage is set for a confrontation that will determine the fate of Karyes and perhaps all of Greece.
