Call of Cthulhu 7E: Secrets of Tibet

TIBET is a common term used in the western world to refer to a remote plateau situated north of the Himalayan mountain range in Asia. The land is populated with malevolent gods and monsters; some areas are impossible to reach without modern technology. Secrets lie sleeping in ancient tombs and vaults among the soaring mountains and deep valleys of Tibet.

Geologists determined that millions of years ago the Himalayas mountain range lay at the bottom of the ocean. The gradual movement of Earth’s tectonic plates has raised this region until it contains many of the highest points above sea level on the planet. Now, the Himalayas cover a vast area that overlaps the Dreamlands at the mountainous area between the Cold Waste and the Plateau of Leng.

Secrets of Tibet details information about everyday life in this mysterious and unique country, from the early twentieth century through to more modern times, along with horrific underlying truths. Tibetan demons are remnants of races that came to Earth from the stars millions of years ago. They dwell in hidden places, are served by loyal minions, and are protected by ancient dark cults that span the globe. They slumber until a time when the stars align, and their awakening shall herald the end of the world as we know it. Over millennia some have awakened briefly, sometimes for years or even centuries, to observe what has been happening in the world. Others are dreamers with lesser abilities, but in their slumbers they influence the cold mountain areas of Tibet. Combined, their powers have thinned the barriers between the Waking World, Earth’s Dreamlands, and other worlds and dimensions of space and time.
