The Cthulhu Campaigns - Ancient Rome
 |
Rome¸ the greatest empire the world has ever known¸ limitless in breadth and power¸ magnificent in its glory! But something evil¸ ancient¸ and unknowable gnaws at the heart of the empire. Dark gods¸ trapped for centuries in thrice-warded tombs¸ have been disturbed by Roman plunderers. A secret war is fought daily between those who would harness this strange power for themselves¸ and those who fear it signals the very end of the empire.
Across the sea¸ roused from eternal slumber by a world awash with war¸ by omens and pagan slaughter¸ a Great Old One waits for the way to be opened. A cosmic terror that man was not meant to know. Those who know its name tremble¸ and only the very brave--or very foolish--incant it for their own ends.
They whisper it in darkness; they cry it from atop blasted hills; they scream it to the raging oceans.
