Beschreibung

A tale of Huguenot persecution from Paris to La Rochelle.
 
Paris, 1572. Catherine de Médicis, the Queen Mother, urges her feckless son King Charles to act against the hated Huguenots. She instructs her Duke de Guise to carry out a bloody massacre on Saint Bartholomew's Day.
 
Hundreds die, and fear spreads throughout the kingdom. Many Parisians flee, facing an uncertain future. But Catherine is not satisfied; she yearns to take La Rochelle, a prosperous port and the last Huguenot stronghold.
 
The degenerate Satanist, Judge Boivin, rules over La Rochelle and is not one to surrender easily, but the odds are stacked heavily against him. Soon, their forces will clash in a bloody war, and the future of La Rochelle - and the Huguenots - will be decided once and for all.

    "The Doom That Came to Sarnath" (1920) is a fantasy short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. It is written in a mythic/fantasy style and is associated with his Dream Cycle. It was first published in The Scot, a Scottish amateur fiction magazine, in June 1920.

Craving more land, a group of these hardy people migrated to the shores of a lonely and vast lake at the heart of Mnar, founding the city of Sarnath. 
    But the settlers were not alone. Not far from Sarnath was the ancient grey-stone city of Ib, inhabited by a strange race who had descended from the Moon. Lovecraft described them as "in hue as green as the lake and the mists that rise above it.... They had bulging eyes, pouting, flabby lips, and curious ears, and were without voices." These beings worshipped a strange god known as Bokrug, the Great Water Lizard, although it was more their physical form that caused the people of Sarnath to despise them. 
    The citizens of Sarnath killed all the creatures inhabiting Ib, destroyed the city, and took their idol as a trophy, placing it in Sarnath's main temple. The next night, the idol mysteriously vanished, and Taran-Ish, the high-priest of Sarnath, was found dead. Before dying, he had scrawled a single word onto the empty altar: "DOOM"....
