A rusty cauldron
Minor arcanum #34
Big enough for a grown man to crawl inside, pitted and scratched, engraved with whorly rune-like patterns. The whole thing is caked with rust. At least, you hope that’s rust.
The thing has a sinister feel, and you can sense its power. To unlock the cauldron’s mysteries, you must…
Requirements
- ☐ …thoroughly scrub the rust from the cauldron.
- ☐ …spend seven nights sleeping in the cauldron, dreaming foul dreams, marking a debility each time.
- ☐ …boil the bones of a beast that you honestly loved or valued, mixing in some of your fresh blood.
- ☐ …bring the wretched thing that arises under your control.
The rest is discovered in play. Every arcanum has a hidden back — what it becomes, what it wants, what it costs. That’s for your table to find out, so it isn’t published here.
Back to all arcana.
