Vileborn is a nobledark RPG that evokes a coming-of-age fantasy story, biting and adventurous. Players assume the role of Vileborn, young half-blood heroes forced to face the darkness of the world and brave enough to embrace their own. The game features typical themes of dark fantasy stories as metaphors for the path from adolescence to adulthood.
Five years ago, Darkness appeared in the skies above Egas. Now, days are barely lit by a sun shrouded in black: it is getting colder and colder, food is scarce, and the Reviled are everywhere. Vampires, Fallen, Werewolves: every creature of the dark has crawled out of their lair, ready to stake their claim to power in this eternal dusk.
You are Vileborn: half human, half Reviled. You were just children when your corrupted lineage manifested itself, subverting your life and separating you from your loved ones. The Luminarian Church, spiritual guide of the Empire and riding a tide of moral fervor, is now instigating the whole world to hunt and persecute you in the name of faith.
The Empire of Egas wants to transform you into a weapon. Desperately looking for leverage in the war against the Reviled, the Empress of Egas has issued the Lex Umbræ, a decree to draft every Vileborn and place them under the authority and protection of the Order of Dusk – an ancient society devoted to safeguarding the Empire. What will you do with the darkness within you?
