It also has an overpowering empire ruled by undead, caused by the ancient curse that brought Kaidan into existence. The real horror element where Kaidan stands apart from other horror settings is not losing every session. This is 'D&D', so winning encounters with monsters is something not removed from the game. Rather, PC Death and forced reincarnation into a doomed cycle of trapped souls is where the true horror lies. If you're not a local from Kaidan, you can enjoy all forms of fun horrific excursions into the setting and never be truly 'damned' unless you die while in Kaidan - then you are trapped. Kaidan's cosmology and the dark powers that govern it utilize the souls of the living and the dead to drive it's engine of evil. As long as you avoid PC Death - you can still win. If you die, you reincarnate and most likely your soul will subvert another living being in a kind of spiritual possession where you become that new person, and that body's previous owner is slain forcing reincarnation elsewhere as an endless chain of possession and death. This is what Kaidan is really all about.</blockquote>
