Wretched Armageddon Volume 1: War

Wretched Armageddon is a dark World War II setting that blurs the lines between reality and the supernatural. This Wretched sourcebook takes you beyond the familiar narratives of history, unveiling a world where the paranormal is not merely a legend or an obsession of the third reich – it’s a palpable force shaping the war and the lives of those caught in its grip.
In the first volume, Wretched Armageddon: War, players assume the roles of characters deeply entrenched in the global conflict. From cryptographers and Gestapo agents to OSS operatives and resistance leaders, each archetype offers unique skills and backgrounds tailored to navigating a war-torn world riddled with hidden agendas and secrets.

In the mists of antiquity a dark and destructive force known as the Devourer invaded our realm, unleashing a maelstrom of devastation and chaos. Yet, seven sacred orders arose, resolute in their conviction to vanquish this menace, and through an epic struggle, they ultimately succeeded in banishing the Devourer back to the Beyond. In a final, cataclysmic effort, the leaders of the orders sacrificed themselves, weaving intricate magical seals that closed the seven gates to the Beyond, which had been torn asunder.

The destruction wrought was so vast, so profound, that the ancient civilization of Antillia (as Earth was known in those bygone eras) crumbled into ruin, leaving scarcely a trace of its former glory. Our recorded history began anew after this cataclysm, its pages blank, waiting to be filled with the tales of a world reborn.

Six of the seven sacred orders have since been resurrected, their legacies echoing through the ages: Anta Odelia Uta, Araknyd Brotherhood, Daughters of Ksenia, Followers of Tedric, Ordo Chaos, and Priests of Xhardox (the seventh order being the Brotherhood of Seisenshi).

Unfortunately, their knowledge of their predecessors is scant, and they remain unaware of the existence of the seven seals – a perilous ignorance, for when a war of unparalleled destruction is renewed, none shall be able to defend them. For the Devourer’s gaze remains fixed upon Earth, and those influenced by its malign influence manipulate events, creating the conditions that will shatter the Seven Seals (250 pages)
