As the foretold Seventh Umbral Era approached, many of the high level "Heroes" could not care less. They were too busy crafting, loafing around, mass murdering weak mooks and complaining about the world in general. As the war raged between multiple factions, some military brass dude gets the brilliantly stupid idea of smashing the moon into the planet to wipe out his enemies and sets his plans into action.

The armies realize what is happening, and everyone who didn't want to get smashed by a moon rallies to defeat him. Too bad though, because by the time they smoke the dude, the moon discovers the power of gravity. So they then turn to the old dude in the intro movie and he wants to summon 12 powerful, big ass ancient gods to lay some smack down on that hunk of rock. But you have to run the ceremony at the point of the moon's impact, because the gods hate walking.
