Laurium is a bustling but isolated town on the edge of Germanic territory controlled by the Roman Empire in the late second century. There, daily life can be difficult, laden with simmering tension between the citizens of the empire, whose soldiers control the town, and the Germanic people who have lived in this region as long as anyone can remember. They are the descendants of proud tribes who reluctantly bent their knees to Roman conquerors, though many still plot to see these interlopers overthrown. Yet strange creatures lurk in the forests beyond Laurium's palisade walls and stalk the forgotten tunnels beneath the town. These foul monsters are tied to sinister forces that threaten life and sanity, themselves echoes of malevolent alien gods from beyond the stars-deities older than Rome, older even than lost Atlantis, who see humanity as nothing but fodder and fuel. These are the collected stories of an odd assortment of unlikely heroes of Laurium. Although they all come from different walks of life and backgrounds, they must set aside old enmities and bitter feuds in order to save their home from the sinister plots of devious cultists. For at the bidding of these power-hungry individuals, a greater threat arises from its slumber-a god of slaughter, sealed away long ago and nearly forgotten. Welcome to Cohors Cthulhu: Legends of Laurium! This 204-page fiction anthology features the stories of the brave few who risk everything to safeguard both friend and foe from an unimaginable evil. 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.

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. Enter a world of stalwart Roman legionaries, brave Germanic, Gaulic, and Celtic warriors, shrewd schemers from Greece and Britannia, and valiant archers and mystics from distant lands like Parthia, Aegyptus, and the island of Hibernia. 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. Answer the call of secret organizations like the Fingers of Dawn and Temperari, who possess the knowledge and will to defy the malevolent gods. 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!
