 Eldritch moons
One of the most prominent themes in Steinhardt’s Guide to the
Eldritch Hunt is the Moon. The moon has many eldritch forms, we gave
the theme of each of these corrupted moons to artists and let their
visions drive the art.

The vast emptiness of the gothic spires under the moonlight. You can almost hear the echo.

INSPIRATION
We were inspired by the oedipian mother and her gaze
over everything her children do for this art. Her
permanent judgement is oppresive, much like the
constant madness that permeates Luyarnha.

be seen within it, though partly dimmed.

Much like observing your reflection in someone’s eye.

 Beasts of The Scourge

The line between beast and man is a thin one. Some of

these creatures are denizens of the world, working to
protect it, while others are monsters trying to destroy it.

The art of this section was designed with the intent of

being used as either player option or monster.

 Jaegers

Jaegers are the apex predators of Luyarnha.

Their weapons, their design and everything about them

should reflect that. Multiple organs to survive otherwise
lethal wounds, improved sight to track the beasts, and
undying loyalty to the city they call home.

 The First War

When the South attacked Luyarnha, they did

so with beasts and giants.

Despite the war’s recency,

Southerners are obscure beings,
Their appearence forgotten by history,

 ABOVE THE GROUND

The city-state of Luyarnha is immense.

It is a self-sustaining city that exhibited growth, despite

enduring a civil and territorial war.

The Scourge that plagues it may prove too much to bear.

We wanted to reflect this glory of ages past in the art.

 CITIZENS CURSED-BLOOD

Many common fantasy races are absent in Luyarnha, on

purpose. It helps solidify the lore of the world, and gives
way to create accursed creations.

For example, the race of devouring twins known as

cursed-bloods.

 The Nobles

Power and arrogance.

Many of the nobles wish to aid their fellow citizens, but

many others have been blinded by the power they’ve
been given over the years. Now reigned in by the
Radiant Church, their decadent lifestyle is crumbling.

 Circle of Symbiosis

Nature is not a benevolent maiden, but rather a

devious hag hell-bent on crushing all life she deems
unworthy. She will force birds to sacrifice their
weakest children so that the others may survive.
She will send predators to devour the sick who
cannot outrun them. She will send plagues,
diseases and natural disasters to reach her goal.

The circle of symbiosis is but her latest

evolutionary tool.
