lone individuals sometimes find out about and choose to serve the Sleeper These few isolated cultists must function within an overall society in which worship of the Sleeper has been banned But they still remember the purpose of their god—and, even in secret, kidnap people to provide victims for Tsathoggua The Sleeper Forgotten Ultimately, the memory of the Sleeper Cult’s crimes fades into history and society as a whole forgets the danger the cult poses or even its name The cycle begins anew with small bands of cultists, just as at first Sleeper Cult Gifts Ancient Sorcery: Tsathoggua’s connections enable cultists to learn obscure or rare spells directly from him without the need of texts or magical research Cursed Slumber: A cultist can call upon the power of Tsathoggua to enter sleep without interruption for weeks, days, or months During this time, the cultist needs no sustenance This can be useful to hide for prolonged periods, which is particularly helpful during a time of suppression Energy Nexus: Tsathoggua’s powers of precognition will warn a cultist before something terrible happens, either personally or to the cult, often through an item such as a ring of Eibon (page 167) or a spell such as divination, foresight, or temporal energy nexus (page 123) Items and Lore: Church-based cultists always maintain a temple, which contains either a magic portal leading to Tsathoggua, or else a special statue through which the god can manifest In return for their service, Tsathoggua, when he manifests, grants them knowledge of minor magic spells or limited-use magic items, including temporary versions of permanent items that last only until it is time to feed again Treasures: Cultists usually have access to clithni, gates, formless spawn, and rings of Eibon 183
