Follow the exploits of Death, horseman of the
Apocalypse, in a tale that runs parallel to the events in the original
Darksiders
game. This epic journey propels Death through the light and
dark realms as he strives to redeem his brother War, blamed
for inciting Armageddon and the eradication of Mankind.
Before time was born, a bright kingdom was created for the Angels, a
dark realm for the Demons, and a world
for Mankind. The Charred Council forged a truce
between the warring legions of Heaven and Hell to stay the Final Battle
until the End of
Days, when the Kingdom of Man would be prepared to
cast its lot in the eternal conflict. But War, Rider of the Apocalypse,
destroyed the
Earth before its appointed hour. Or so it was
claimed. To spare his brother from oblivion, the second horseman rode
forth, and his name was Death.
Though the world has been cleansed of life, there
are many souls that remain between the realms of Heaven and Hell. In his
travels, Death
will be joined by long-time companions, and will
cross paths with ancient friends and foes alike. Interacting with those
you meet on your
journey will hold the key to unearthing the secrets
behind an insidious plot for Creation itself.
