Welcome to Alexandretta, an urban utopia that in its hay-day was a perfect example of what humans could accomplish if they honestly put their minds to it. However, now the great metropolis has fallen drastically.
Zombies have begun to terrorize the masses, the army has successfully manages to quarantine the city, but it is unclear how long before the zombies potentially breech the wall. The cause of the outbreak? An ancient "curse" known as the Baleful Blood. It is said that certain individuals of particular bloodlines possess it, and it makes them incredibly powerful. However, to the normal person, it kills them, and then reanimates them as the shambling killing machines.
No one knows why the Baleful Blood has surfaced in such a manner, but someone needs to find out, and put an end to this madness before the world is occupied by the hellish fiends.
