Description
From the depths of te shadow realms they come. Under the dim haze of our moon's light, they move. In darkness they search for prey, for warm blood. They like the taste, humans having the best flavor, women being sweeter to feed upon, our youths being the sweetest.
The ancient demon-gods of their world slumber, grown tired, and keep not their lesser minions in line. Magic in our world has faded, and they no longer care of us. But their minions...
The little ones do not feed well off of magic, but instead of life. As of late they have grown bolder, and started venturing back to our world, in search of sweeter food. With each bite, they become stronger, and the essence within us feeds them like a drug. Euphoria pumps through their bodies, and when they return home, they grow a little larger.
As of yet, they remain little known, and hide well. Soon enough though they shall grow stronger, and come more often.
Our weapons affect the still though, you may be assured. So do our diseases. It was a simple virus which started it, but within their putrid forms it shifted and changed. From it's simple beginnings it became stronger in potency, debilitating in effect, spreading through the old continent, to the animals, to the monkeys, and to the dark skinned tribes.
It has finished changing, though. The shadow realms are done with it. The carriers are stronger, and among their prey are those infected with the very kiss of death, and thirst for blood. Like the wretched dregs who infected them, they cannot stand the sun's touch, not easily. The predators now stay here... in our world. They walk among us... unnoticed. They are our friends, family, and lovers; and they must be killed.
Venture into "Noctuourne", a dark parallel of our own world. Demons here cross paths with humans, corrupting and taking souls. Creatures from the Shadow Realm use gates to enter the world of man, to feed upon him, his food, his wives, and his children.
Pendulums swing both ways, and the glory of mankind is about to start sliding down. Only one out of a million people even have a clue what's happenning. Are you one of them?

Minus two spelling errors, this is an intro piece for a project I'm working on. I'm designing "The Utopia Role Playing System". Noctourne will be the first supplement, I think. Hope it inspires you. -Cam

This is very neatly put together - you sucked me in straight away with just enough information, and left me wanting to know more. Well done!
