#GRIM DAWN FETTAN MASK UPDATE#
Please help update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. These unnatural powers are feared by some but give many new hope of launching a resistance to fight the "outsiders" and reclaim what's left of their world. A few survivors have begun to exhibit strange new abilities after surviving possession or exposure to the warp. These humans have quietly watched the warring invaders destroy one another and have become wise to the strengths and vulnerabilities of their otherworldly foes. Small enclaves of human survivors exist scattered throughout the world, holed up in hidden refuges. The story of Grim Dawn is about survival and adaptation to the grim new reality.


This cataclysmic war not only decimated human civilization but warped the very fabric of reality and, in its wake, gave life to new horrors. While the Aetherials were seeking to use human bodies as a resource, the Chthonians appeared to destroy the human race before that could happen. Following this discovery, researchers brought over more aetherials which broke free, allowing the aetherials to then open more portals into their own world, bringing over large numbers of their brethren. The researchers discovered that a human, once possessed, retained heightened abilities after the aetherial being was purged from them. Through experimentation, they learned that these beings, made of aether, a sort of spiritual energy, could fuse themselves with the human mind, possessing and controlling their host if they were able to subvert the human's will. They learned things from the whisperings of these otherworldly entities and eventually attempted to open a portal to bring one across and imprison it. Humans at some point had come into communication with extra-dimensional beings. Cairn has become ground zero of an eternal war between two otherworldly powers, the Aetherials, who view human bodies as a resource to use, and the Chthonians, who are intent on destroying humanity before that can happen. Grim Dawn takes place in Cairn, a dark and war-torn world where a once grand empire has been brought to ruin and the human race driven to the edge of extinction.
