and the same terrible cataclysm of earthquakes that destroyed the Hittites and Noah’s biblical flood swallowed the land, evil and malevolent creatures were released like a dark wave from their deep earthly prisons to stalk and hunt us unfettered.

The knowledge & lore of Old Earth and the secrets of its entities passed down within these Hunter families.
the identities of these enigmatic families in order to destroy them...
