It had been many years since The Great Battle when evil was bound to the Celestial Prison. The Order of the Elder Gods that was formed on that day continued to defend the citizens of Monria and preserve The Order from the threats of the Cultists and those they worship. Their numbers had diminished but still The Order continued in stealth, protecting the weak and containing the evil on that wretched moon.
Meister Sith was the first to realize what truly happened on that fateful day. He had often journeyed through the dreamlands hoping to one day meet the Elder God he had been searching for ever since. It was here that the link was revealed to him. Long before the Outer World Research project had begun, The Order knew of the existence of the Mountain of Madness. It seems on the day of The Great Battle, the gatekeeper had one last trick and transported his minions through the dreamlands to another dimension.
Through his talents, Sith watched over time as the foul creatures from Monria evolved in their new environment gaining in strength and ingenuity. He watched helplessly as the village perished.
The fate of Larches Green observed through his journeys across the other dimensions reminded Sith of the fate that would befall his home if The Order did not stand together against the followers of Cthulhu.
It was for this reason that he raised the banner, gathered what was left of The Order of the Elder Gods and journeyed through the dreamlands taking the fight to the Mountain of Madness. It may have been too late for the villagers of Larches Green but Sith was willing to lay down his life for those that followed.
With this release we will be revealing the rest of the DSEC-9 map. There is a teleportation device at the Northeastern corner of Elara.
