Story

The story of No Rest for the Wicked takes place in the year 841 TE, after the death of King Harol. A terrifying plague known as the Pestilence has returned after a thousand years, spreading horror across the land. Players take on the role of a Cerim, a holy warrior sworn to destroy the plague no matter the cost.

On the island of Sacra, the fight against the Pestilence becomes tangled with political conflict, religious tension, corruption, and rebellion. As players explore forests, ruins, dungeons, and settlements, they uncover the secrets of a broken world and face the consequences of power, greed, and survival.
