Call of Cthulhu: Curse of the Jade Emperor
The Great Old Ones' insidious reach
continues to spread and Curse of the Jade Emperor, the second Asylum
Pack of the Ancient Relics cycle, follows the tendrils of evil into the
Far East. Prepare for restless dead, secret societies, and unholy
artifacts!
Ancient Relics is based on the theme of the global influence of the
Ancient Ones and their cults and moves the action from H.P. Lovecraft's
dread-filled New England to the wider world. In Curse of the Jade
Emperor players will find exotic, yet hauntingly familiar characters and
tales, pulled from the myths and legends of ancient China. The Middle
Kingdom's undying past collides with a present made all the more
uncertain through the interference of diverse otherworldly actors.
The pull of China is strong and in Call of Cthulhu it attracts academics
from Miskatonic University, eager to study the history and artifacts of
one of the world's oldest civilizations. The forces of law and order
also come to do battle with some of the world's deadliest criminal
organizations. Curse of the Jade Emperor also follows Ancient Relics'
over-arching theme of artifacts with great and terrible power
reoccurring throughout history. Pack your bags for a voyage to the
Orient in Curse of the Jade Emperor!
