Editing Terra Occulta

[[Image:occultalogo.jpg]]


'''The world is a strange and secret place.'''

In lost valleys, ancient ruins wait to be discovered.  From mountain-top labs, telluric rays cut through space.  In the halls of power, hidden men move puppet agents on invisible strings.

It's up to you to unlock their mysteries.

You're explorers, soldiers, men of science.

You cast light on the long shadows of history, walk bold across the earth, create the technologies of the future.



'''This is your time for adventure!'''
