Cthulhu Dark Ages is een wereld die alleen door vuur wordt verlicht. De oude rijken stortten eeuwen geleden in, en namen hun cultuur en kennis met zich mee. Het is een duistere wereld en mensen hebben gelijk dat ze bang zijn voor het donker. Naast Vikingen, heksen en bandieten zijn er de rusteloze doden, oeroude gruwelen en andere kwaadaardige wezens die door het landschap zwerven. Duistere entiteiten wachten verborgen in de diepten van de tijd en de uithoeken van de ruimte. Een paar dappere zielen doen hun best om de gruwelen te weerstaan en ze terug te drijven naar waar ze vandaan komen.Beschrijving
Setting Guide
Cthulhu Dark Ages is a world lit only by fire. The ancient empires collapsed centuries ago, taking their culture and learning with them. It’s a dark world and people are right to be afraid of the dark. Apart from the Viking raiders, witches, and outlaws, there are the unquiet dead, ancient horrors, and other malevolent beings stalking the countryside. Dark entities, beyond good and evil, wait hidden in the recesses of time and the angles of space. A few brave souls try their best to resist the horrors and push them back from whence they came.
Will you be one of them?
Cthulhu Dark Ages has been updated for Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition, completely revised and includes a wealth of new setting material. Inside you will find a player’s guide to the Dark Ages, an optional Sanity mechanic for mirroring the medieval mindset, rules for the oral tradition of storytelling and mounted combat, a grimoire of Dark Age spells plus optional rules for Folk Magic, a bestiary of monsters, as well as a fully detailed setting – the Anglo-Saxon community of Totburh in England’s Severn Valley, full of interesting characters, dwelling descriptions, and a multitude of plot hooks for Keepers to use and develop.
Three ready-to-play scenarios introduce players to the world of Cthulhu Dark Ages, building on the tensions, characters, and horrors lurking in Toburh and the lands surrounding the community.
- The Hunt – wherein a terrifying wolf is troubling the community of Totburh and must be dealt with. This short adventure provides the perfect introduction to the Dark Ages setting.
- The Doom That Came to Wessex – all is not well at the Monastery of S. Swithun, with an attack leaving some of the monks dead or injured. Something foul is afoot threatening the very sanctity of the monastery.
- Eseweald – Oswyn, the thegn of Totburh, is concerned about the disappearance of his son, sent on a diplomatic mission to calm tension with a neighboring community, who seems to have vanished without a trace in the dark foreboding Eseweald forest
With nothing but candle light and your wits, your journey into the Dark Ages begins…
This supplement is best used with the CALL OF CTHULHU (7th Edition) roleplaying game and optionally PULP CTHULHU, available separately.
