The Old Gods

That is not dead which can eternal lie,

And with strange aeons even death may die.

In his house at R’lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.

H. P. Lovecraft, “The Call of Cthulhu”

There are things, horrible things, that lurk just beyond the realm of humanoid perception. These unspeakable horrors wait to consume all that lives. Some deranged few make these “Old Gods” into objects of worship. According to the teachings of the Faithful, the Guardian himself sealed these horrors away, making the world a safe(-ish) place to dwell. But those who are outside sometimes find their way in.

Special: PCs may not be worshippers of the Old Gods.
