The city where dreams come to die. A city where nightmares end and hope finds peace. Where all fairy tales find an end, all searches find completion, and every lost soul finds a way home. That's what Shadows Fall is. There are doors here that open to lands that have long been dead, and to worlds that have yet to be born, and strange people and even stranger creatures walk along the streets leading from the center. But one day fear comes to the city. A dangerous force appears, bringing death to the inhabitants. Here and there, mutilated bodies are found, and there are no traces that can lead to the killer. But few residents know that this is just the beginning. That these are only formidable symbols of the onset of world evil.
