AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Ten Tales of Dark & Secretive Orders: Lovecraft envisioned a world in which humanity is ignorant of cosmic realities. When the bleak truth is revealed, it terrifies us, for it offers no hope of our salvation. Cultists are the gatekeepers to this knowledge. Their aim is to keep secret the existence of their gods by any means possible, and to free their gods from their slumbering prisons thus bringing about humanity's final downfall. Cthulhu's Dark Cults provides keyhole-glimpses into these secret orders, all irredeemable and hell-bent for humanity's demise.'
