Join the inhabitants of Kulthea, a world where remnants of a lost civilization clash with dark forces of the present. But all live in fear of the devastating Flow Storms, interdimensional rifts bringing terrors from another universe. The self-contained adventures may also be used as isolated or hidden areas in any Garnemaster's campaign world.
