MAPS OF HELL
written by Matthew Boroson
images by Jason Just
Through her pain and madness, a little girl once glimpsed the truth about hell. Now it is reporduced here for all to see. From the Waste Land of Gehenna to the City of Anguish, the levels of hell are presented in detail, along with some of their most significant residents. Learn about the torture that our torturers, the nepharites, must endure, and the Labed Vov, the guardians of the gates between Illusion and Inferno. And, find out what happened to paradise, the home of the angels, after the departure of the Demiurge.

GAIA
written by Jason Thompson
images by Jason Just
KULT places most of its scenarios in cities, but in LEGIONS OF DARKNESS an alternative appears; Gaia, the unexplored wilderness, the green and unpleasant land. Although some may find it a compromise of the unforgivingly artificial horrors of Metropolis, Gaia shows another sort of dark universe. In Metropolis, the corruption is a result of urban decadence, of the dark side of knowledge and civilization. In Gaia, Nature turns out to be just as pessimistic, and eat-or-be-eaten is the rule. Identity is lost; time has no meaning; and gates open up to it in places far from the city, places where veteran KULT players expect to be safe (just _let_ them move to the country!). The converse to urban horror -- gangs and brutality, mechanical monsters and the indifference of strangers -- is pastoral horror -- degenerate backwoods people and brutality, animal terrors and the isolation of being miles from where anyone can hear you scream. What could be a better change of pace?

written by Shelby (D.J.) Babb
images by PeterAmthor
Many of us are familiar with Babb's digressions into the dark side of Kult, and his material is no less potent than years ago. From the Violinist turned Nepharite, to the seedy club which ferments to an incarnate of Gamaliel, Babb has finely weaved five pieces of work with approval to present through The Abyss with stark graphic illustration by PeterAmthor.

written by Bas Suverkropp
images by Jason Just
To quote Bas,
"This description of Heaven is based on the ideas of the original KULT rules and the Legions of Darkness sourcebook. The cosmology described in the Metropolis sourcebook doesn't appeal to me. I think that almost everything in Kult shows that the Demiurge never was particularly benevolent to mankind. Just look at the servants he created. Based on this, I have made a Heaven which was once very pleasant but still made for some dark purpose. Now the Demiurge has disappeared, and his Heaven is coming apart at the seams."
