A war is raging between the forces of evil and the forces of...well, evil. Dark powers are gathering to try and take control of the stygian depths and the souls that reside within. The Embalmer, who wants to control the Books of Death, Paul Bearer, the Transgressor of the Stygian, also seeks to control the dark forces within, and Kane, whose agenda remains a mystery. That in itself makes him the most dangerous player of all. The only thing standing in their way is the enigmatic colossus known as the Undertaker.
