Call of Cthulhu: The Sutra of Pale Leaves - Twin Suns Rising
Encountering the King in Yellow in 1980s Japan
We exist without ever knowing
If this world
Is a dream or reality,
Reality or a dream.— Kokin Wakashū, Volume 18, Misc. Poems
“No. 942,” anonymous
Forgotten for centuries, the Sutra of Pale Leaves has resurfaced in 1980s Japan—a time of excess, conspicuous consumption, and enormous technological changes.
This Call of Cthulhu supplement takes you to the Japan of the 1980s. It is a time when the generations are at odds, yakuza gangs are thriving, and the traditional world is at war with modernity. Ancient creeds, gods, and spirits vie to keep their toe-hold in this new world of capitalist opportunity—and overworked and overwhelmed humans turn in desperation to spiritual organizations that promise release and new meaning. This is a world that needs the Prince of Pale Leaves—and he answers the call.
The King in Yellow Reimagined
While Call of Cthulhu is home to many entities who inflict nothing but destruction and suffering, The King in Yellow—in his guise as the Prince of Pale Leaves—is different. He is here to help. Those who cry out to him lose their minds and souls, but it will be far worse for the rest of us. This book also includes a comprehensive guide to the Sutra of Pale Leaves itself, covering the insidious effects of the text, the cults associated with the Yellow King, and an array of new Mythos monsters for use in any Call of Cthulhu game.
