Eternal Adversary

Millennia ago, a cataclysmic event tore time apart when the agents of Chaos tried to change history and wipe out mankind. Now countless timelines of earth exist, with the different Ancient Empires of man thriving to this day. Chaos has begun the final battle to destroy all of the timelines of Earth.

A single timeline of Earth must remain for humankind. The ancient warrior societies must band together to fight for existence and Chaos must destroy Earth if they are to have a future in this final timeline.

.........Which side will you choose?

Teams: Order vs Chaos

Eternal Adversary is a 2-5 player game between two teams. Build up your hero as you play, getting tougher, faster, deadlier. Do you fight for Order? Or for Chaos? If you are Order, you can use technology to bolster your hero. Battle for Chaos, and benefit from the random hells.

The two teams perform different tasks. Order heroes seek out and destroy Chaos Rifts, helping to heal the universe. Chaos heroes seek the tokens of disorder and bear them to their dark lord. Both teams advance their respective Doom in this manner.

Ultimately, a team reaches the end of its Doom track, and the final battle begins. Both sides stake everything on one great clash. Have you gained enough experience, or injured the enemy sufficiently? Will you win in the last conflict?

    Knight of St George

    The fire engulfed Sir Adrian. The floor started to melt beneath him, but instead of fleeing, he swung a crowbar at the fiery monster. By the time it was dead, his uniform was on fire. He used his log book, and then his own hands to stop the blaze’s spread. The truck, with its precious cargo, was saved both from the Charhound and the fire.

    Owl Woman

    Star Standing Bear saw the first horrors emerge from the first rift, below Thunderhead Mountain. She killed all she could, but the flow did not ebb. She rode back to the tribal council just long enough to warn them, then returned to the fray.

    Jaguar Warrior

    10 Smoking Rabbit’s blade is edged in obsidian glass. Not due to outdated nostalgia, but because obsidian takes a sharper edge than any known metal.

    The Cultist

    Drawn by power and a hate for humankind, these mortals seek to draw the great old ones to the shores of our universe.

    The Ghoul

    I saw the ghoul tear off the corpse’s head. But the flesh must have been too rotten: the skull simply fell out of the bottom of the face leaving a ragged flop of flesh held by its black nails.

    Succubus

    The ember on the ground grew into a flame and then floating up, like a demonic Aphrodite born of flaming vapors instead of sea foam, and a boiling chaos instead of a shell, stood the succubus.

    Archfiend

    Like a hellish formation towering in the sky, his shadow burned me.

    Tengu

    Those goblins which the Japanese say taught the ninja their trade in ancient times.

    Chaos Mage

    He rose up slowly, held aloft with tendrils as if they were slowly prolapsing out of his body. His skullish face fixed upon me. But when I raised my weapon and aimed with the scope, he merely smiled. As if he knew I could do nothing…

    The Kappa

    I had always read in the mythos of Japan that you could bow to a Kappa and the water in the bowl on its head would fall out, making it weak. But the slimy thing loping towards me did not have any courtesy or manners in its gait. I was out of ammo, and it sprang upon me before I could unsheath my blade.

    Winter Lady

    She was beautiful, floating in the air like a goddess of ice and darkness. And she said to me, “You do not need warmth anymore.”

    Erinye

    All was silent until we heard the licking and smacking of pleasurable eating. Above one body a being like a nightmarish angel of darkness gleefully tore at the rotting tendons and guts of our fallen comrades.

    Aeternae

    The thing stood there, gaunt, yet somehow muscular, holding its spear.

    Arch Lich

    Some humanity still remains in its physical form, but none in its mind or spirit. It is pure malice.

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/l0dAyJ-O-8Y?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Chaos Elemental

    This was the source of the trouble; the thing billowed forth clouds of darkness and hate, as it clumsily stumbled along. Half-real, half-illusory, in flashes we saw a long ropy umbilicus lead from it back to the rift many miles away, as though it kept that tether, that conduit active.

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/vVY5GzuUZaQ?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Chaos Totem

    Something groaned in the night, and we drew our weapons. We saw a little glow, pale and horrid. At first we thought it was the trunk of a tree that glowed, and that moved towards us across the darkness. Then we saw its eyes, and that its limbs were not branches, but human.

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/GinZSTv3o8A?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Charhound

    I fired into its side, and light burst forth, as though it was bleeding fire. It didn’t act injured, instead its jaws opened impossibly wide and the inferno vomited forth.

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/OFFLObInk_I?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Dark Faerie

    I heard a loathsome tittering in the darkness somewhere. I flashed my light frantically around, scanning for the source. It seemed everywhere and nowhere. Eerily sparking motes came floating down from the sky. They were beautiful, but when one touched me, it was agonizing, electric pain.

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/X-UgKJu5MX8?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Deceiver

    It spoke: "Ascend skyward forever and forever —yet thou wilt not attain the summit. Descend below the earth for billions of billions of centuries: never wilt thou reach the bottom. For there is no summit, there is no bottom; there is no Above, no Below"

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/GtKob3NTpjM?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Eldritch

    Raw chaos billowed forth from the rift. As we prepared the demolition charges, some of the cloud swirled and took form – it seemed only a temporary state, a freak of the chaos pulses, but while it lasted, it surged among us as though it were truly live.

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Uqu2AcsP9Vo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Flesh Golem

    What mad hand had stitched this together? One of its heads cried in fear and terror. Another roared in a frenzy. It writhed and twisted, as though trying to move in different directions, but despite this the Thing raced towards us at alarming speed.

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/c8eO4DmonCs?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Goatmen

    We spotted it up by Pope Lick, Kentucky. A rancid stink filled the air, and suddenly a hairy horned beast leapt from the gully more than 10 meters onto the railroad trestle. It bayed at us and brandished a crude, but strongly-built weapon. As we rushed to grab our weapons, the goatman leapt from the trestle straight into our midst, horns, hooves, and blade whirling.

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/mwcc_AEcjk4?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Hellion

    A voice did speak, deep and husky. The sound rose up out of the hollow, brutish and coarse and mighty. We were shaken with fear. Then the awful face rose above the gully’s edge, eyes gleaming green with bloodlust.

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/qitPrgx1Z8E?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Hungry Dead

    It is forever lonely. Forever cold. Forever starved for affection. But most of all it is eternally, supernally famished for flesh and blood.

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/xUuxa6WecSU?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Kelpie

    A guttural neighing came from the sump. We whirled to face it as the thing loomed out of the muck, dripping with algae and fungus.

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/DBKlnJDKMCw?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Nightmare

    I couldn’t breathe. I tried to run, but the road kept stretching out longer and I couldn’t get away. When I heard my dead uncle calling to me I realized it was just a dream. I struggled to wake up, but when my eyes opened, nothing had changed. Nothing.

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/iv_4N3NbUmc?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Nuckelavee

    Our sniper exploded its head with a single shot, but, unimpeded, it leapt into our midst, its hooves, blade, and teeth flashing. Then we realized. It was never a beast and rider. It was a single creature, with two heads and two bodies.

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/4KGi9rjad6Y?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Rawhead

    Skinless itself, it seemed to resent all whose bodies were more complete. As it worked its way through our squad, its rage increased, fueled by its own destruction.

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/B_FiV6AlOoY?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Shapeshifter

    We saw something like a large dog run into the house, so we followed, weapons ready. We could hear the baby crying upstairs. When we rushed in, we saw the parents’ corpses, ravaged by claws and fangs. We rushed upstairs to protect the baby, but it was alone in its crib. While Karel kept his gun pointed at the nursery door, I picked up the baby. It hugged my neck tightly. So tightly. Too late, I smelled its fetid breath and saw the “baby’s” mouth widen into a fanged crescent.
