The Gaelic myths and legends that are prevalent in the British Isles are the very fabric of the Irish, Scottish, Manx, and Cornish people today. They are colorful, steeped in heroic deeds and adventurous demigods, and rooted in times long gone, when Europe as we know it was an altogether different land.

I'm Leroy Mahoney, of Bartley and Mahoney's Investigation Agency. If you're dead and got a problem I am the one you go to see.

The Guardians are there to protect the departed on their way to the afterlife. If a someone doesn’t cross over before they fade completely, they turn into a Shade. Until the dead can let go of their mortal lives and release their tethers, they can’t pass on. That’s where I come in.

Few are those that have not heard of the fearsome Vikings and their daring exploits. These Northern seafarers, the scourge of the Middle Ages, left their mark on the world’s history in a grand fashion.
