CthulhuTech: Burning Horizon
 |
Somewhere¸ It Burns...
The sands of time slip through the hourglass. The New Earth Government mounts a desperate initiative against the Migou's seat of power. Those that police the ar- cane underground face an invisible foe. The Disciples of the Rapine Storm descend through the ashes to assault the Land Down Under. A deadly plague suddenly grips the citizens of the New Earth Government. And an unexpected ally returns from the void¸ a light in the darkness.
The end carries on. Welcome to 2087.
Discover how humanity attempts to find a technological edge. Continue to be shocked by the on-going internal Nazzadi conflicts. Discover that for which the Migou have been scouring the Outback. And¸ unfortunately¸ something perverse is born within the sacred arcane circles of the Esoteric Order of Dagon - some that makes the Chrysalis Corporation very angry.
