This is the only picture for the setting chapter of Crypts and Things, except for the map, and I knew that it had to nail the sheer bleak brutality of the setting with it.

John Ossoway has delivered in spades on this one. Its a scene on the slopes of the active volcano Mount Terror, the heart of all evil in the world of Zarth. In the foreground  a sacifice to the alien Locust Star, a  gateway to demonic otherworlds that hovers in the sky above, is being dragged to his fiery doom by the Evil priests who live in the fortified temple in the background.
