Ramble on about Elizabethulhu

There are no end to adventure seeds. Religious/Political intrigue, Huguenots/Calvinist and Papists having at each other, in every corner of Europe and wars of empire in every corner of the known world, The Eighty Years War.

The world is a 'legend/lore' version of history, with the crack in the veil to cthulhu giving the creatures of darkness a power boost.

The Rank Perk, would probably include a military rank, a patron, education - which means fencing and literacy.

Back to Elizabethulhu

Nothing since my last post.

Tried a few egroups, Labyrinth Lord and OSRIC, and they folded. And everyone is sick and tired of me so much as mentioning anything Arabian, I'm going back to Elizabethulhu.

The problem began with Pius V's papal bull giving a clean slate hall pass to Heaven to anyone who ganked Good Queen Bess. He issued the bull and set up the foundations for The Roman Inquisition to be a dark weapon to crush the Protestants. The Inquisition had public show trails, but when they found real heretics or witches or sorcerers, they bound them to the service of the Pope's ""Obscura Martis". What the priests didn't know was that they imprisoned cultists among the mundane satanist rabble. So amid the usual Hell-rising, a much darker force was awoken.

Into this darkening world, Elizabeth's spy master, Walsingham, recruits the younger sons of the lesser nobility to travel Europe, gather intelligence, and establish communication networks in Catholic lands.

These bands of cavaliers soon discover that with along with the Papal threat there are new, strange beast loose in the lands.
