The concept of an evil religious authority is far from a new inspiration for fiction, but what makes Desolation interesting is how frighteningly Hobbesian it is. While they protect the regions under their control, they also stamp out indigenous cultures, force people to worship their god and enslave a race called "malakhim" to fuel their spiritual powers. As a result, the setting's ruling powers have all but bowed to their might but the exorcists aren't as saintly as they appear. There's no cure for the sickness, and the only ones capable of slaying the beasts are the exorcists of the Abbey. Tales of Berseria is set in a ruined world literally called "Desolation." Its people live difficult lives in fear of a pandemic called "Daemonblight," which turns victims into bloodthirsty monsters.
