In Court of the Dead: Mourners Call, you're already in the Underworld, where death isn't the end, but the beginning of a new mission! The ceaseless war between Heaven and Hell threatens to destroy everything, and it's up to you and your fellow 'Mourners' – allies of Death – to unite the factions of Bone, Flesh, and Spirit to end this cosmic conflict. The goal is simple: gather enough power to challenge the celestials and restore balance to the universe. But hold on, it's not just about the greater good! Each Mourner has their own ulterior motives and personal ambitions. You need to diplomatically maneuver and influence the strongholds and guilds of the factions to achieve your individual goals, while still contributing to the collective cause. The player who best balances these interests, earning Death's favor, will be recognized among the Underworld's elite.

But beware, the power within mortal souls, known as Etherea, is a double-edged sword. Using it carelessly risks invoking the dreaded Dreadsgrip, a destructive force that consumes everything in its path, including its former master. Failing to satiate the celestials' war needs or triggering the Dreadsgrip can have dire consequences for all. Do you have the cunning and strength to achieve your own ambitions while also being the champion who unites the Underworld?
