A reworked story will be added in the near future.
There is a video included with the mod that tells part of the story, it plays automatically upon starting a new game with this particular race.

This mod adds a new race to the game, called "Domina Obscura".
You are a mortal who simply served as a vessel
to travel from the dark realm, trough the world of dreams
to the real world. You were once human, now your body has
similarities to the dark goddess herself.

You are a mortal, with
the powers of a goddess.
