You attacked the Tomb of Horrors because that's what Heroes do. That's
what you kept telling yourself every "day" for the past 15 years that
you and your companions have been trapped in Hell; where your souls were
sent after dying in the Tomb. More souls stopped coming after the first
two years, so someone must have destroyed it.... Unfortunately, that
just pissed off your tormentors even more.
Now, someone is asking you if you're willing to come back to take care
of a little problem for them. The rumor of a dragon can't be anywhere
near as bad as the certainty of staying in Hell. Right?

As the end of the millennium approaches, the vampires of Los Angeles

mysterious immortals prepare for the gathering. But what of the blind,
sleeping mortals?

Gehenna's past -- 1000 years of darkness, rampant pollution and destruction everywhere... life (or unlife) is a bitch. Nothing happened like they said it would, Cain and Lilith didn't make a grand appearance, the Wrym didn't consume the world, and no one has seen those silly fairies or ghosts anywhere. And you mages, don't even mention the 'T' word. You've got the opportunity of your existence. Can you still make a difference, despite the fact that Gehenna's past?
