“Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.” – Johnathan Swift It started with one man. One man and a vision. Lord Marcel Athelby dreamed of sealing the Devil’s Gate forever and reclaiming the city of St. Louis for the people of Rifts Earth. Nine months later his Grand Expedition leads the charge to do exactly that, bending all the power and expertise to the task that charisma can draw or money can buy from their base in the burgeoning boomtown of Saintsville. The stirrings of something momentous are plain for all to see. Some may even dare to dream that the success of the Expedition might lead to a greater unity among the fiercely independent cities and towns of the region. But this is Rifts Earth and here the brighter the light, the deeper the shadow. When dreams become nightmares, where will you be? This is your story.
