Take your place as gamemaster of a dark epic RPG set in an age of world-shaking heroes and villains vying to protect or corrupt humanity. This is a setting rife with brutal battles, sinister plots, and murderous intrigue, blending Lovecraftian cosmic horror with ancient civilizations who must rise above old feuds. As gamemaster, you will bring this world to life, shining a light into dark corners along the borders of an expanding empire encroaching on proud cultures already beset by nefarious threats. The supernatural wars are instigated and controlled by secretive cabals. The most powerful of these are led by quasi-immortal beings who have turned to dark magic, poorly understood relics, and unholy pacts to extend their lifespans. This includes the last remnants of fallen Atlantis, whose shadow spreads wide. Some of these groups are largely benevolent, if pragmatic and sometimes cruel, seeking to safeguard humanity against its greatest foes. Others are fully devoted to the Outer Gods and would see the world burn. Will your players rise to become great legends or, like so many others, fall to the corruptive temptations offered by Mythos Gods? Their fates are in your hands. Features: Detailed information on the factions at play, including the history of the Hidden Wars, and a guide to the frontier town of Laurium, which serves as an ideal place for heroic PCs of all backgrounds to assemble. Perspectives on the mindset of the ancient era and how this can inform your own games, including an examination of the gods and divine pantheons of the ancient world. Lore and rules systems to generate artifacts of legend, including those built by the fallen Atlanteans, the vanished Hyperboreans, and the lurking Mythos cults. Description of the magic tomes and grimoires, with four complete spellbooks covering Mormo, Nyarlathotep, Cthulhu, and Yog-Sothoth. A repository of profiles for adversaries including potent and dangerous mortals as well as many monstrous Mythos creatures. Special advancement options to create Voidforged, the most experienced PCs who have shouldered difficult burdens in exchange for great power.

Though the long shadow of Rome has stretched far beyond its own borders, its reach has yet failed to cover all of Germania. Those untamed lands, filled with dark and forbidding forests, are still held by countless fiercely independent native tribes. Many have been forced to bend the knee before the banners of Rome, whilst others have fought bitterly to retain their ways of life-often fruitlessly. But Germanic priests and sages tell tales of other forces lurking in these lands: darker shapes than marching legionaries move between the trees of those ancient forests, and rumors swirl in towns and villages of nightmares lurking beyond their walls. Beyond the eyes of civilization, and known only to a select few, inexplicable monsters only whispered of in legend prowl, seeking to feast on the unwary. Fetid spawn of Mormo swarm and multiply in foul breeding sites, protected by sinister cults whose members are visited in dreams by creatures from beyond the stars. The immortal warrior-chieftain Herjan has gathered his forces to dominate the native Germanic tribes, his efforts fuelled by either enlightenment or madness born from Atlantean relics. As darkness looms and shadows gather, he schemes and plots to send his substantial military might against Rome. Here, in this ancient and mysterious land, the Hidden Wars play out in full. Those brave heroes willing to confront the darkness will claim hidden knowledge and eternal glory - but terror, insanity, and doom await those who fail. This 185-page supplement includes a wealth of information for Cohors Cthulhu gamemasters running campaigns venturing into Germania from the Roman-occupied town of Laurium. This includes information on the many tribes of Germania, details on Herjan's Horde, an expanded Adversary roster, and 8 self-contained adventures taking place in Germania itself. Features: 'Castrum Primum,' written by Richard August, detailing a lost fortress that has become a place of horror. 'Stars of Ill Omen,' written by Stephen Michael Dipesa, featuring an incursion of Mi-Go in the Germanic hills. 'The Harvest,' written by Anna Everts, where a tribal settlement is beset by a mysterious ailment. 'The Shield of Aeneas,' written by Thomas Roussel, featuring the impossible return of an ancient hero making wild claims. 'Anno Diaboli,' written by Michael Duxbury, where an attempt to impose a rigid calendar upon a tribal people has unforeseen consequences. 'Between Scylla and Charybdis,' written by Dave Semark, where a holy festival provides the spark to set ablaze a religious conflict. 'Against the Chaos Gate,' written by M.G. Manley, where PCs enter the gladiatorial arena and eventually discover an ancient buried peril.'Aurum Habet Tolosanum,' written by Dave Semark, featuring a risky foray sneaking into the heart of Herjan's Horde to recover gold stolen from Rome.

Welcome to an epic struggle of heroic mortals pitting blade, spear, and bow against the claws and tentacles of eldritch horrors from beyond the stars. These Hidden Wars in the shadows of ancient Rome are all that safeguards humanity from oblivion.

Embody these heroes and forge unlikely bonds with former enemies to confront the Cult of Mormo, minions of Nyarlathotep and Yog-Sothoth, and other nefarious cabals. Mi-Go skitter voraciously through the tunnels of lost mines, while Deep Ones lurk beneath the waves seeking sacrifices.

These groups offer the secrets of mystic arts and access to the legendary weapons of Atlantis. Your enemies wield dark magics and profaned relics, their minds corrupted by the whispers of beings like Sarthothus, a shattered god whose divided mind lurks within the very weapons you require to defeat the cults inviting humanity’s doom. Can you prevail against overwhelming odds, or will you succumb, like so many others, to Mythos forces that thrive on conflict and war? This is your story!
