SPOILER ALERT! LAYOUT AND STORY SAMPLE

The Scenario

The sour taste of the inevitable is well present in this story. The descent into madness is an integral part of the story, but here the supernatural elements do not threaten the existence of mankind, nor do they inevitably drive anyone who glimpses even a shadow of their petty magnificence insane. On the contrary, they are so subtle that it is possible to wonder whether they are real or not. Isn't that precisely what losing one's mind is all about?

This adventure is set at the end of Queen Victoria's reign, at an undetermined point on the coast of Scotland, not too far from neighboring England.

In addition to being a wealthy aristocrat, Lord Dewar is a physician, taxidermist and expert in anthropology and occult sciences. In his youth he was a hunter and explorer in Africa, South America and Asia. He has lived endless adventures throughout his travels and from his many expeditions it is rumored that he has brought with him a very valuable Inca treasure, over which, of course, it is said that there is a terrible curse. A treasure that has awakened the seeds of greed even among those closest to the old landowner.
