Heroes will have varied experiences. They may encounter overwhelming hordes of fiends from the Hellmouth itself, or reclusive celestials from the protective mega-city of Sanctuary; newly awakened protective dragons of Gaia, or mysterious adapting cultures of Fey from the world Behind the Veil. They may come across golems made of gears and metal running on magic and steam from Cog Town, or they may cross paths with a valiant knight in shining armor displaced from Avalon. They may look out across rocky landscapes at giants from Ragnarok as they roam the land, terrorizing civilized settlements, while mechas from the east fly overhead, piloted in union by five men.

Where there is an abundance of darkness, destruction and death, the importance of heroes is that much more illuminating to those who require symbols of hope. These heroes become beacons of light against the despair. They become a reassurance that the future may once again become theirs; that the fiends will be banished, the Maws closed across the land, and the Hellmouth finally destroyed and sealed forever. Some of these goals may be impossible to accomplish, but without heroes, days in The World of Hellmouth would be nothing more than a countdown to extinction.

These heroes are few and scattered, but the few become mighty. Together they can be an unyielding force against the armies of evil. They might not be able to defeat it all but they can at least hold it back one day at a time.

This is where the adventure begins and all hell breaks loose!
