Today we are thrilled to announce the addition of all legacy Book of Weapons text to Mythos, Hunt: Showdown 1896's online lore hub.
The
Book of Weapons shines a shaky light on the darkest spider-webbed corners
of the Corruption, exploring terrible ways the Sculptor's influence can assert
itself over the softest tissues of our minds. The alleged truths revealed in
each story are something that, much like the cold terror that grips the hearts
of the bayou and gulch, are more often felt than seen.
Tell me, Hunter, when you are reading of the time Lynch
conducted a grisly ritual to formulate the inoculation, do you believe every
word, or do you hold tight to the presence of potential falsehoods?
When you recount the story of how Mara Cranston discovered
her familial tie to the Meathead, does it make you wonder how far the
Corruption can seep into our minds, our bodies, our very souls? Or does it
leave you under the nagging impression that some of the details are
missing?
What exactly happened, and when? Nobody can be sure, not
really. All you'll have to go on for now is your gut. For these stories are
presented outside of chronological boundaries. They stand alone as brief
reflections of the evil that thrives within the Incursion zones, here and then
gone again, like the crest of a wave breaking, or the flame of a candle being
blown out.
So as you make your way through the Book of Weapons section
on Mythos, try not to wonder if
the Corruption itself may be waiting for you from the dark spaces in between
the pages.
