First Sentence

It is the nature of humans to name things.

Description

It's one thing to face a threat you understand. It's quite another to encounter an unknown horror. Legends warn us of evil things stalking our world, but they are contradictory and confused, often giving more misguidance than aid. Still, a vague warning is better than no warning at all. While only a fool trusts the legendary accounts entirely, only a great fool faces the Dark completely unprepared. This is the quandary for heroes who oppose the Dark Races. How much can legendary accounts be trusted? An unheeded warning can be fatal - or even worse. But a false one is just as dangerous. The only surety is that nothing is sure. This first Dark Races compendium is designed to maintain that sens of horrifying mystery central to Dark Conspiracy adventures. Within the pages of this volume, referees will find more than 50 dark visions from the feverish visions of a dozen and a half different authors. Many of the creatures herein are the stuff of oft-repeated legends of darkness. Others spring from more private nightmares. Together, they will take your campaign to realms of horror your players could never expect.
