Somewhere out there the Deepwalkers, mightiest of the Abzulim, have returned to Earth and evolved beyond the ability of normal immortals to see them for their true selves. After many bitter defeats, and with scar-laden souls, they beat back their enemies and thought they had finally won it was only the beginning. Upon their return, they fought against other immortals who served dark ancient powers from before the dawn of time. The immortals went into seclusion for eons until they eventually filtered back out amongst humanity, in secret, several thousand years ago. But internal strife and hatred between the Pantheons led to their own wars and the end of their stewardship over humanity. Both blessed and cursed by mortal faith, the immortals were transformed into human-like guises they were exalted as gods, monsters and supernatural heroes by the infant human race. Now freed, the various himsati species of slave immortals wandered in groups called Prides until the coming of humanity. When the war ended, the Abzulim fled this world and the Primals all but vanished from existence. They created an empire spanning the cosmos and made war with the Primals: elemental entities older than the universe itself.
Millions of years ago the dragon immortals known as the Abzulim enslaved nearly all other immortal creatures. The game is set in modern-day earth, but makes extensive use of world mythology, high fantasy elements, and an original alternative earth history. As the characters struggle to remember who and what they truly are these past-lives continue to inform, empower, and confound the character's current incarnation They also must re-acclimate to a millennia old war against dark forces to save their last bastion in the universe, Earth. Characters may have been an ancient god, mythical creature, or legendary hero in a former incarnation. Immortals have the ability to literally reinvent themselves through a special form of reincarnation-like evolution.
Characters discover that they are part of an ancient race of shape-shifters with the power to alter reality itself. Immortal: The Invisible War is a role-playing game created by artist and writer Ran Valerhon.
