Editing Better Light a Candle (section)

=Campaign Overview=

This is the campaign Wiki for the adventures of the Paladin Society, run on the Cthulhu Eternal Victorian SRD. 

I've been a huge fan of the Cthulhu Eternal project since its inception. I've enjoyed ''Apocthulhu'' enormously, and I completely endorse the principle of a Cthulhu Mythos SRD based on the huge legacy of material developed since the first editions of ''Call of Cthulhu'' in the 1980s. That includes a great deal of off-the-shelf Gaslight material.

'''A Word on the Title'''

David Drake's "Than Curse the Darkness[https://essaydocs.org/balefires-david-drake.html?page=14]" is one of the best Gaslight-era Cthulhu Mythos stories I know. It's also one of the best Cthulhu Mythos stories I know, period. As a tribute to it, and as a natural corollary to the title, I'm taking the other half of its title quote, "Better light a candle than curse the darkness," as the campaign title and premise.

Drake's take on the period he covers very much mirrors my take on the Victorian era. This campaign will be very dark. The darkest parts will often be entirely mundane, and historical artifacts of the Victorian age. That's the world we lived - and still live - in.
