Artifacts

The Master's Leech

The terrible Revelations of Gla'aki, reference an artifact of immense power bestowed upon the servants of Gla'aki as a way to transport their master to different locations around the earth. The artifact in question is known as The Master's Leech and is said to be a piece of the horrible god himself. The 7th volume of the Revelations of Gla'aki references this artifact saying that the servants can use it to call Gla'aki to any location that contains a body of water large enough to hold him. The need for fresh blood to activate the device requires a live human to perform the ritual, and once doing so, becomes another of the servants of Gla'aki. Read more...

Tomes

The Lock and Key

It is known in some academic circles that a strange and unique tome exists among the list of odd metaphysical reference material that is currently available today. It should be said that it is not a single volume, but two books. One which contains a translation of an older, apparently nonexistent tome and the other, which is a key for deciphering the first. The translated material, which is encrypted and requires the key to be of any use, seems to be a grimoire or book of shadows. Only one copy of the original existed and has been destroyed or otherwise lost to the ages. Speculation that the original text was the spellbook of an ancient Russian sorcerer is widespread when researching the rumors that surround this set of books. It is unknown who performed the translation and subsequent encrypting of the original tome. However, due to particular phrasing in Old East Slavic and its apparent translation into a more modern Russian dialect, some have suggested the translator be of Russian ancestry. Whoever did this translation obviously had a copy of the original volume. Still, the original has never surfaced on the standard or black markets. There are some wild tales about the origin of the book; however, these claims have never been fully substantiated. At the moment, there is no physical evidence that these claims are fact. The mystery surrounding the book's origin and the unknown translator are trivial in comparison to the absurd notions that comprise the actual content of this archaic mystical tome. Read more...

An Unfortunate Assignment (Scenario)

You are a lawyer at the respected firm of Billings and Lafayette, you have worked here for years and you are the top prospect to gain partnership with the firm. This is an incredibly significant occurrence being that firm, has not, as yet, ever taken a partner in all of its years of operation. It is the beginning of the year and many of your married colleagues have taken time off to be with their families. This has left you and Mrs. Edith Lampton, the office manager, to run the place during this, the slow season, for your firm. You, being a single individual, have no problem working extra hours as you are bucking for that partnership, which is to be announced soon. The firm deals mostly in real estate law, estate management and inheritance. A particular file has come across your desk and you recognize the name instantly. The McGinley estate is the first and largest client the firm maintains and it behooves you to do your best with this case, as it is a very important one. It is Monday morning February 13th 1922 and you sit at your desk with the McGinley file in front of you. It almost feels like a test of some sort, to receive the firms most important clients file during a time when most of the office is away on vacation. You open the file… This scenario is a work in progress, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions please contact me at https://www.reddit.com/user/nonhumanuser/.
