Your faith will be tested.

When faith becomes a weapon
In the shadow of the Holy Roman Empire, the mountain city of Valensbrück struggles to endure. Rigid doctrine and fear govern life here, while the bloodshed of the past continues to shape the present.
Each order claims that salvation lies in its teachings alone. Yet in the streets, people whisper the names of powers that should not be mentioned even in sacred scripture. You came here as a chosen hero. As you bear witness to this city’s sins, survival will demand that you become a weapon, perhaps something more terrible still.
Valensbruck Into the depths of the city
Life above ground
At first glance, the mountains washed in light, the cold waters and the old roads form a peaceful landscape. Yet within it, Valensbrück is drawing ever further into itself.
Sacred silence
In Valensbrück, doctrine does more than tell you what to believe. It dictates the law, decides how the past is remembered and threatens those who defy it.
The descent
Follow the traces through abandoned passages. Here, firelight will reveal the answers you could not find in prayer.
Beyond the walls
Explore alpine valleys, forgotten mines and sacred halls. Along the way, you will pass through settlements that shut their doors at sunset.
Ex Infernis does not reveal its secrets all at once. Every place holds traces of the past, and every silence leaves you feeling that something is listening to you.
Here, people struggle to survive in a world shaped by conflict and faith.
No single answer will lead you to the truth. You must piece together what you learn from the places you explore, the people you encounter and the forbidden records you uncover.
The truths you uncover will change not only what you know, but what this world expects of you.
The doctrines of Valensbrück
The promise of every order is the same: order, knowledge and truth. Their methods differ, but their paths may still lead to the same end.
Fire. Purity. Obedience.
They believe that only fire can purge sin. They never question what they do in the name of salvation, and they show mercy to no one.
Alchemy. Reason. Silence.
They seek to measure faith through matter and frequency. Their research draws on knowledge that should never have survived into the present.
Truth. Secrecy. Revelation.
Behind their public creed, they preserve a secret doctrine. If the truth they guard comes to light, it could tear Valensbrück apart.
Visions. Dreams. Threshold.
They trust their dreams and visions, seeking within them what the waking mind refuses to see. Their search leads them to the perilous boundary between divine revelation and demonic interference.
Discipline. Suppression. Silence.
These warriors are trained to rid themselves of fear, desire and the will to dissent. All that remains is discipline and obedience to orders.
Intelligence. Trade. Influence.
Within this clandestine network, information is currency. Deals are weapons wielded to gain influence, and even loyalty has its price.
Fire purges every sin.
Do not settle for the story the city tells you. Examine the scars of its past and follow the traces of what was deliberately left behind.
