The Beast - The Primordial Core Rulebook
 |
You are one of the Begotten¸ the living embodiment of a primal nightmare of humanity. Your soul¸ your Horror¸ is a monstrous creature - maybe something that humanity dreamed and wrote down and still speaks of in legends¸ or maybe some outlandish horror that no living person has ever seen.
"You are a Beast¸ and you must feed. Your Hunger drives you¸ and your Hunger might damn you. Indulge too lightly and your Horror will take matters into its own hands¸ roaming the Primordial Dream for sustenance and awakening murderous hatred in spiritually weak individuals. Feed too deeply and too often¸ and you become sluggish¸ sacrificing the raw edge of Hunger for the languor of Satiety. You must decide how to grow your Legend - will you be the monster incarnate¸ the thing that all other monsters fear? Or are you doomed to die under a Hero's sword?
Did your heart seize up in your chest a little when I said that? It should. Those horrors you've dreamed of all your life - the arms dragging you down into the ooze¸ the thing with fangs and too many legs waiting in the dark¸ the sleek¸ silent killer dropping on you from a clear sky - they're real.
