Overview[]

Kings die, nations crumble, and madness trails in the fiery wake of a comet called the Red Eye of Azathoth.

Do you have what it takes to battle across history against the Mythos horrors that surface under its lurid glow?
  • 887 AD, Holy Island, English Northumbria - as blood rain falls and the dead rise, Viking invaders and English monks must join forces or perish in a Lovecraftian nightmare.
  • 1287 AD, Iwaizumi, Japan - snowbound samurai must unearth what lies behind the village where babies cannot cry and an abomination hangs lanterns that shriek with a thousand voices.
  • 1487 AD, Valencia, Spain - heretics must escape torture, prison, and the clutches of angels to expose the Spanish Inquisition's true purpose.
  • 1587 AD, Roanoke Colony, The New World - colonists face flayed horrors that hammer on stretched-skin drums to reveal whose knife dug Croatoan into the Lost Colony's tree.
  • 1887 AD, Desperation, Arizona Territory - in the series' explosive magic-and-gunpowder climax, condemned gunfighters unravel the last skeins of the millenium-spanning mystery and stand alone against the full Mythos horror of the Red Eye of Azathoth.

Ia! Ia! Take your players to the mad reaches of our past.
