Il y a parfois de très bonnes raisons d'avoir peur du noir... Dans le monde du jeune Arlen, dès que le soleil se couche les démons sortent de terre et dévorent les êtres vivants. Le seul espoir de survie: s'abriter derrière des runes magiques qui repoussent ces monstres et prier pour qu'elles tiennent jusqu'aux premières lueurs de l'aube. Seule une poignée de Messagers bravent la nuit au péril de leur vie pour relier les hameaux dont les habitants ne s'éloignent jamais.

Die Menschheit ist gefangen in einem Albtraum: Jede Nacht steigen Dämonen aus dem Boden empor und machen Jagd auf alle Lebewesen. Nur wenige wagen es, diesen Kreaturen zu widerstehen, unter ihnen Arlen, der tätowierte Mann, und Jardir, der Anführer der Wüstenkrieger. Doch die Welt duldet nur einen Erlöser der Menschheit, und ein Krieg scheint unvermeidlich - während sich in den Tiefen der Finsternis das Heer der Dämonen zum Marsch rüstet und eine blutige Zukunft heraufdämmert.

Seit die Menschen beschlossen haben, sich den Dämonen der Nacht entgegenzustellen und zu kämpfen, hat sich das Antlitz der Welt gewandelt. Das Volk der Krasianer ist gegen den Norden in den Krieg gezogen, und das kleine Tal der Holzfäller ist zu einer mächtigen, siegelbewehrten Stadt angewachsen. Doch Arlen, der tätowierte Mann, und Jardir, der Anführer der Krasianer, stehen sich immer noch in erbitterter Feindschaft gegenüber.

Die Menschheit ist gefangen in der Furcht vor den Dämonen der Dunkelheit. Nur der junge Arlen beschließt, sich mit magischen Siegeln den finsteren Wesen entgegenzustellen, und wird schon bald zu einer Legende. Als plötzlich aus dem Süden ein zweiter Befreier der Menschen auftaucht, droht alles in Chaos zu versinken. Doch Arlen hält fest an seiner Hoffnung auf das Ende der Nacht.

Die Welt der Menschen ist in Aufruhr. Nacht für Nacht steigen die Dämonen aus der Tiefe auf, um die Bewohner der Städte und Dörfer in Angst und Schrecken zu versetzen. Seit nicht nur ein, sondern zwei Männer aufgestanden sind, um gegen die finsteren Wesen zu kämpfen und die Völker der Menschen endlich zu befreien, herrscht allerdings Krieg - denn Arlen und Jardir könnten verschiedener nicht sein.

... und in der Dunkelheit lauert die Gefahr. Das muss der junge Arlen auf bittere Weise selbst erfahren. Schon seit Jahrhunderten haben Dämonen, die sich des Nachts aus den Schatten erheben, die Menschheit zurückgedrängt. Das einzige Mittel, mit dem die Menschen ihre Angriffe abwehren können, sind die magischen Runenzeichen. Als Arlens Mutter bei solch einem Dämonenangriff umkommt, flieht er aus seinem Heimatdorf.

Der letzte Krieg zwischen Menschen und Dämonen steht unmittelbar bevor, und die einzige Hoffnung der Menschheit ruht nun auf Arlen, seiner Frau Renna und seinem Rivalen Jardir. Denn nur, wenn es ihnen gelingt, den Willen eines der mächtigen Dämonenprinzen zu brechen und ihn zu zwingen, sie in den Abgrund zu führen, werden sie die dort herangezüchtete Dämonenarmee aufhalten können. Aber noch ist der Sieg gegen die Dämonen nur ein Traum.

Qui est le Libérateur dont parlent les légendes ? Arien, originaire du petit village de Val Tibbet, a appris à survivre dans un monde où des démons voraces rôdent dans la nuit et où l'humanité s'est enfermée dans la peur. Il a choisi une autre voie : se battre. Il est devenu l'Homme-rune, un héros malgré lui. Mais l'homme qui se proclame le Libérateur n'est pas Arien. Surgi du désert, Ahmann fut son ami et son frère d'armes avant de le trahir.

The sun is setting on humanity. The night now belongs to voracious demons that prey upon a dwindling population forced to cower behind half-forgotten symbols of power. Legends tell of a Deliverer: a general who once bound all mankind into a single force that defeated the demons. But is the return of the Deliverer just another myth? Perhaps not. Out of the desert rides Ahmann Jardir, who has forged the desert tribes into a demon-killing army.

Humanity has been brought to the brink of extinction. Each night, the world is overrun by demons - bloodthirsty creatures of nightmare that have been hunting and killing humanity for over 300 years. A scant few hamlets and half-starved city-states are all that remain of a once proud civilization, and it is only by hiding behind wards, ancient symbols with the power to repel the demons, that they survive. A handful of Messengers brave the night to keep the lines of communication open between the increasingly isolated populace.

Built from the skulls of fallen generals and demon princes, it is a seat of honor and ancient, powerful magic, keeping the demon corelings at bay. From atop the throne, Ahmann Jardir was meant to conquer the known world, forging its isolated peoples into a unified army to rise up and end the demon war once and for all. But Arlen Bales, the Warded Man, stood against this course, challenging Jardir to a duel he could not in honor refuse.

Out of the desert rides Ahmann Jardir, who has forged the desert tribes into a demon-killing army. He has proclaimed himself Shar’Dama Ka, the Deliverer and he carries ancient weapons - a spear and a crown - that give credence to his claim.

Humanity has been brought to the brink of extinction. Each night, the world is overrun by demons - bloodthirsty creatures of nightmare that have been hunting the surface for over 300 years.

A handful of Messengers brave the night to keep the lines of communication open between the increasingly isolated populace.

On the night of the new moon, the demons rise in force, seeking the deaths of two men both of whom have the potential to become the fabled Deliverer, the man prophesied to reunite the scattered remnants of humanity in a final push to destroy the demon corelings once and for all. Arlen Bales was once an ordinary man, but now he has become something more - the Warded Man, tattooed with eldritch wards so powerful they make him a match for any demon. Arlen denies he is the Deliverer at every turn, but the more he tries to be one with the common folk, the more fervently they believe.

For time out of mind, bloodthirsty demons have stalked the night, culling the human race to scattered remnants dependent on half-forgotten magics to protect them. Then two heroes arose - men as close as brothers, yet divided by bitter betrayal. Arlen Bales became known as the Warded Man, tattooed head to toe with powerful magic symbols that enable him to fight demons in hand-to-hand combat - and emerge victorious.
