Much of the material has appeared elsewhere, but some of it is new: Social Conflict and the Chase rules, for example, were written specifically for this supplement.All the material herein should be considered optional. None of it replaces the mechanics found in the Mythras Core Rules, and Games Masters are, as ever, encouraged to use what suits their game style, modify what they need to, and discard or ignore what they don't.What's inside?- Tactical Combat - Social Conflict - Sanity and Corruption - Vehicles - Races and Chases - New Character Creation Options.

THE EIGER SANCTION: Jonathan Hemlock lives in a renovated Gothic church on Long Island. He is a art professor, a mountain climber, and a mercenary, performing assassinations for money to augment his black-market art collection. Now Hemlock is being tricked into a hazardous assignment that involves an attempt to scale one of the most treacherous mountain peaks in the Swiss Alps, the Eiger. THE LOO SANCTION: Hemlock has gone to England to rest, but his vacation is interrupted when the head of British Intelligence needs his highly skilled services. Jonathan must take over the mission of an agent whose murder was so bizarre and terrifying that no other agent was willing to replace him. His task: to locate a set of secretly made films that incriminate a number of high-ranking British officials. His target: a top underworld figure who delights in debauchery and torture. Facing this threat, Jonathan is drawn into a labyrinthine network of intrigue and depravity. As all the pieces in the dangerous puzzle begin to come together, Jonathan is trapped, almost fatally drugged, and forced to attempt one of the most daring escapes ever conceived.

"Rodney William Whitaker (June 12, 1931 Dec 14, 2005) was an American film scholar and writer who wrote several successful novels under the pen name Trevanian. Whitaker wrote in a wide variety of genres, achieved best-seller status, and published under several other names as well, including Nicholas Seare, Beñat Le Cagot and Edoard Moran.
