When a sudden, unprecedented event causes a heavy rain of countless

giant leeches across the small globe, a group of heroes come together

to summon an obscure, ancient deity to bestow his powers upon them

so they can save the world. Despite the success of the summoning, the

Sentinels of Anathema lose millions of lives. The deity, Anathema,

relays how the remaining humans can live blissfully without damaging

and angering the world again.

So, the Sentinels of Anathema build 35 cities and surround each

with tall curtain walls as barriers between nature and man, and the

remaining humans live in the cities under their authority to ensure

there are no mishaps. One night, one of the cities is attacked and

burned to the ground by a mysterious being akin to the Sentinels, who

believes the Sentinels of Anathema are evil and seeks to slaughter all

of them and all of their people.

He films himself committing the holocaust and leaves the film

in one of the Sentinels' cities so they find it. The Sentinels keep

this attack under wraps and send The Jackal after the mass

murderer, but this only leads to him planting information in The

Jackal's mind in an attempt to pit the Sentinels against each other.
