From Introduction: As far as nameless, death-worshipping cults go, the one that battles for control of Skull Mountain is certainly not the most nihilistic organization to ever blemish the face of the Earth, but that is the secret to their success. They have a clear agenda, and while it is obsessively violent and ultimately calls for the extinction of all sentient life, it excludes self-destruction. This cult may serve the gods of death, but they intend to be the last among the living, and the last to cross that threshold once and for all.
