Long ago in a far off land, refugees discovered a lush landscape to begin a new life. Not long after their decision to stay did four mysterious hooded figures approach the group.
These alien beings carried a nefarious aura about them and errie lanterns of blue flames. These creatures demanded the people worship and pay tribute to them, or risk a massacre.
The refugees fell to their knees in fear and offered to build them a grand temple. This did not suffice. They offered to leave offerings of food and treasure. This did not suffice.
Finally, the creatures demanded a sacrifice of four humans every five years. They were to be sent to the creatures' home, known as the Hooded Hollow and put through tests of
strength, cunning, and courage. If they passed all tests, the creatures would consume the sacrifices and grant the settlers safety for the next five years.
To this day, no group of sacrifices has passed the tests.

Due to the lack of worthy sacrifices, the hooded figures have cursed the land and claimed dominion over the people living there. One day, four noble souls decide to bring the
tyrany to an end. The group trains for years to become expert fighters and cunning adventurerers, until they feel the time is right. By rigging the selection process,
the four souls become the four sacrifices. Their aim is to defeat the challanges set for them and to destroy these creatures who have enslaved their people for centuries.
Can these brave souls topple the opposing rule of these creatures or will they fall like those before them?
