Old Gods of Appalachia RPG - Core Rulebook (HC)

Gather Round, Family…

In the mountains of central Appalachia, blood runs as deep as these hollers and just as dark. Since before our kind wandered into these hills, hearts of unknowable hunger and madness have slumbered beneath them. These are the oldest mountains in the world. How dare we think we can break the skin of a god and dig out its heart without also calling blood and darkness?
She is light.
Ball lightning come to earth, tendrils touching each tree like a long-lost lover arrived home at last, the earth beneath her cracking deep as it gives itself up to her. Forward she moves, or maybe she moves you, and when she stops or you stop or the world stops, there are no woods, no grove nor ground. There is only her and you and what comes next.
Dazzled, your mind says mother. Your mind says beloved. Your mind says run and retreat and no.
This, this is what you have come for. She is who you have come for.
She lifts her blinding head, one eye black and deep as a coal mine, and she says, “Ask.”
What do you do?
