 Then the home of a valued friend burns to the ground, severely burning him in the process. An odd summons, a surreptitious meeting, and a thousand-mile journey begins on the legendary rail service carrying the investigators to Constantinople, the Gateway of the Orient.

 Optional episodes are set in ancient times or special places (Roman-era, Dark Ages, Gaslight-era, the Dreamlands), so that players can experience the founding, creation, and discovery of crucial elements of this campaign. Also included is a modern-day coda to the storyline, an alternate ending for those wishing a shorter campaign, and a built-in survival guide to aid beleaguered investigators.
-Six perfect-bound books and more are contained within this box, the Campaign Book (72 pages), Through the Alps (264 pages), Italy & Beyond (272 pages), Constantinople & Consequences (192 pages), Strangers on the Train (96 pages), and the 48-page The Traveler's Companions. In addition, there is a book of handouts for the investigators, a European Route Map, three era-inspired luggage stickers, two era-inspired postcards, a matchbox, the Scroll of the Head, four U.S. passports, a bumper sticker, six pages of train plans that can be laid end-to-end, the die-cut Mims Sahis ceremonial knife, and die-cut fragments of the Sedefkar Simulacrum collected along the journey.

 Featuring [[the Brothers of the Skin]], this is a classic campaign and the last boxed set produced by Chaosium to date. Chapter X - In a City of Bells and Towers (Dream Zagreb) - was written by [[Mark Morrison]] in an attempt to capture in scenario form the work of author [[Thomas Ligotti]]. A previous version of this Scenario was published in the British CoC fanzine [[DAGON (Magazine)|DAGON]].
-Although the first edition of the campaign features actual text from Ligotti (by way of a series of handouts found scattered around Dream Zagreb]], the second edition removes these elements and replaces them with newly-written content.

 Winner of the 1991 Origins Award for Best Graphic Presentation and Best Role Playing Adventure. The majority of authors on this book are Australians, mostly based in Melbourne. [[Penelope Love]] must enjoy gondolas - see also the entry for [[Abhoth Omnipotens]].
