Keeper Comments

Keepers should spend time ahead of the Campaign coming up with specific details about the motivation of the Order, and specifics about the Arc of Vlactos, the R'lyeh Disc and the R'lyeh Spell. This will help create more consistent links between the scenarios than those found in the campaign.

You are also recommended to read through Nameless City, Nameless Terrors, which can be included in this campaign as a source of the R'lyeh Spell.
