COHORS CTHULHU RPG LAURIUM ADVENTURES BOOK - One remote town is uniquely situated on the precarious divide between the controlled holdings of the Roman Empire and the wild lands of Germania: the frontier town of Laurium. Far from the Eternal City, though governed by a magistrate who speaks with the authority of Roman law and protected by the soldiers of the I Minerva Legion, Laurium is more exposed and vulnerable than most of its residents believe. The town’s sizable population of Germanic natives includes many who resent Rome’s occupation, some of whom meet in secret to foment rebellion. But this simmering turmoil is only one of the more obvious problems here. Other hidden forces—far more sinister—threaten all who live in Laurium, be they Roman, German, or from other cultures that have come to this place from afar. The lands near Laurium hide many secrets, including a rising swell of Mythos forces eager to corrupt this town. Dark cults lurk both within and outside its palisade walls, serving forgotten and malevolent gods whose goals imperil all of humanity. The few mortal groups knowledgeable enough to oppose such enemies also hide in Laurium, pretending to live ordinary lives while secretly locked in the Hidden Wars. This 152-page supplement includes a wealth of adventure opportunities and information for Cohors Cthulhu gamemasters running campaigns centering on the Roman-occupied town of Laurium. This book includes detailed information and profiles on many of the most significant NPCs living in and near Laurium (many of whom make ideal contacts or quest-givers for player characters), an Otium rules system for handling downtime activity between major adventures, and seven self-contained adventures either set within or near the town of Laurium.
