Setting

The Caligore Hunters campaign is set in Adapus City, a sprawling metropolis on the continent of Josticia, within the world of Vatia. Adapus City is plagued by caligores, malevolent demon creatures that can possess and corrupt humans. The year is 1590, a decade after the Labyrinth of Regalia was unearthed.

Tone and Inspiration

The campaign features a mix of horror and mystery with mature themes and occasional comedic elements. It draws inspiration from various sources, including Jujutsu Kaisen, Devil May Cry V, Gokuraku District, and Persona 5. The narrative focuses on vigilante-like caligore hunters who seek to unravel the mystery behind these demonic entities while uncovering the identity of their enigmatic benefactor, Monday.

Plot Overview

Players take on the roles of caligore hunters, individuals either cursed by or fighting against these demonic beings. The campaign is driven by their mission to track, hunt, and eliminate caligores infesting Adapus City. Each hunter has a personal connection to Monday, the mysterious entity who guides and supports their efforts through a magical radio in The Room.

The Caligore Threat

Caligores are invisible to most and can possess humans. The hunters, either through curses or unique abilities, can perceive and combat these entities. The city's inhabitants are largely unaware of the true nature of the threat, relying on the hunters to protect them from the shadows.

The City of Adapus

Adapus City is divided by three imposing circular walls: Curenya, Arlulu, and Tariman. Wall Tariman houses the city's poorest, Wall Arlulu is the commercial hub, and Wall Curenya is the domain of the elite. Beneath the city lies the Undercity, a dark and suffocating realm where the indigent population survives amidst antiquated technology. The Lumina, remnants of the ancient Xenthian civilization, hold knowledge coveted by the government, adding layers of intrigue to the city's already complex social fabric.

The Room

The Room is where the hunters gather, communicate with Monday, and plan their missions.

Campaign Goals

The primary objectives of the Caligore Hunters campaign are to:

1. Uncover the truth behind the caligore infestation.
2. Eliminate caligores and protect the city's inhabitants.
