The Eldritch Icons Project

September 25, 2014 by Ruth

I previously gave an overview of how I imagine re-skinning the Dragon Empire of 13th Age to fit a Clark Ashton Smithian/Lovecraftian theme: Eldritch Icons. I plan to write pairings of a mythos entity and a default icon. I'll be doing them in an order that reflects how I see an order of emergence. The mythos icons would not supplant those of the Dragon Empire overnight. Rather, the campaign would be more insidious. This order reflects a move Westward, as though the new icons arose from the Iron Sea.
