Ancient, eroding ruins of magnificent stone structures are scattered throughout the world. These temples, statues, and walls were built long ago as defensive bulwarks in the eternal conflict between humanity and the Ancient Ones, and while many people have forgotten the original purpose of these landmarks, those who dwell nearby have always sensed their incredible arcane power.
They knew it was coming. The blue-painted inhabitants of southern Britain and the wealthy court astrologers of Qin dynasty China; the learned high priests of the Yucatec Maya and the pukao-crowned leaders of the Rapa Nui. They all foresaw that centuries in the future, the very universe would turn against Earth and her peoples. The far-flung stars would naturally shift into a precise, evil alignment and unlock a terrible portal in the center of the cosmos. Our planet would fall into this black maw, doomed to dwell eternally among the countless horrors within.
In the Strange Remnants expansion for Eldritch Horror, you must travel to some of these ancient sites in your quest to save the human race – and the entire world – from impending doom. Your enemy is no mere immortal creature, but a celestial Syzygy that threatens to plunge the world into a terrible, inescapable, darkened void. In Strange Remnants, four new locations are introduced through the Mystic Ruins Encounter Deck, while new Glamour Spells and Relic Unique Assets aid investigators in the struggle against a truly omnipotent Ancient One.
