==Overview==
==Synopsis==
During the chaos of the Iraq War at the dawn of the 21st century, a squad of United States marines must contend with the re-emergence of the Sect of the Faceless God, an ancient cult dedicated to the Outer God Nyarlathotep. With the aid of a crippled soldier in possession of arcane powers and a mystical text which allows them to employ their own magics, the soldiers battle the cult, its sorcerous leaders, and a host of summoned abominations, paying a heavy price for their victory.
Despite winning this battle, it is later revealed that the cult was not destroyed, merely once more driven underground.
==Behind the Mythos==
In addition to Nyarlathotep, other Mythos creatures which appear in the story include Shantaks, Nightgaunts, and Dimensional Shamblers, although unlike their appearance in other media, these creatures are employed as little more than cannon fodder in the battles between marines and cultists.
