「 THE IRON GATES BREAK THEIR LOCKS 」 ››
{Pulled from your life, by a force unknown and seemingly squeezed through the fabric of space and time itself, you lose consciousness only to wake from it on a hard stone ground. Shivering in the cold, you realize that you're naked, laying on worn gray stones, an odd light making your shadow seem alive. Blinking your squinting eyes, you raise up and look around at a city, only not one you're familiar with. It looks old and new at the same time, worn. Both dead and alive. To your left, from the direction of what seems to be a temple where two figures in white are coming towards you. A noise draws your attention forward. Marching is heard coming towards you and you see what seems to be five soldiers, their guns at the ready and trained on you. Slowly you get to your feet, mind whirling with possible explanations...}
「 INTRODUCTION 」
Welcome to Veles, built on top of the ruins of Minsk a city in the former Bellrussian SSR. The year is 1952 but it's not the 1952 you're familiar with. Zombies, atomic catastrophe and a deadly virus have made the landscape unrecognizable. Paranoia, government conspiracies and a cult-like religion dominate the atmosphere inside the high walls of the lone city for thousands, perhaps millions of miles.
Brought here by the all powerful Gate, a powerful object or entity no one understands. Is it a wormhole between worlds? Is it actually alive? Those questions are impossible to answer for the priests who guard it, let no one near and the government, seem to let the priests do as they please..
