You have all but abandoned your waking life, eating less and less, spending more and more time asleep. You have seen wonders beyond compare: the sacred cats of Coulthard and the turquoise and tourmaline city of celebrate that rests beneath the gingko-covered slopes of mount aran. Since then, you’re crossed these borders every night, searching for the city, hoping to set foot inside. It has been months since you saw the Sunset city in a dream-towering minarets and domes, crossed by shadow and red light from the gently setting orb of fire that permanently rests outside the city. You must constantly fight not only wild animals and ravenous monsters, but frostbite, starvation, and the madness that befalls many who enter this frozen, isolated, white world. Whether you choose to travel in summer or are forced to go in winter’s dark, at every step you’ll face terrible perils, from the port of Anchorage to the forest paths and mountain passes of the interior. Omens of Ice takes you and your fellow investigators on a treacherous journey into the Alaskan wildernesses, where you must solve the mysteries of three terrible new Ancient Ones. You must brave the brutal conditions that killed thousands of prospectors, and fight ferocious creatures from this world and others, or else the cold, hunger, and ice will devastate humanity. You know all too well that the Ancient Ones are causing the weather and hunger, but this time you cannot fight them from within the Arkham Museum, or even out on Arkham’s streets. Some people complain of insatiable hunger and sometimes the newspapers even report cannibalism. Now, down in usually temperate Arkham, the winds are blowing harder and colder than ever before.

Most of them perished in the ice, a few got rich, and some awoke terrible, ancient evils. Twenty years ago, during the Klondike Gold Rush, over a hundred thousand prospectors traveled deep into the Alaskan territory.
