His breath turned to frozen mist before him as he surveyed the heaps of stone and rubble that was once a shining cathedral. The destruction was absolute. The quake that shook Rome the previous night was strong, but this was different. This was something else entirely. Shards of glass sparkled on the city streets. Nearly every window for miles around had shattered, but the buildings themselves, the ones surrounding the cathedral, still stood. No, whatever had happened here was no act of nature. Whatever—or whoever—caused this, did so with some dark purpose, and the destruction of this cathedral in particular was no accident.“Pity, no?”Roland’s thoughts were interrupted by another onlooker, a handsome, blonde youth with piercing blue eyes. “A tragedy.”Roland responded, kneeling to sift through a pile of stained glass shards.“Doesn’t it seem strange,” the youth continued, “how the bulk of the damage was concentrated here, at this particular place?” The sentiment echoed Roland’s thoughts from earlier. “It is peculiar, yes,”Roland said as he extracted a larger piece of stained glass from the rubble. Upon the piece, an unusual symbol was etched into the glass. An unusual symbol, but one that Roland had seen once before. The blonde youth frowned.“Don’t you think it’s time you were leaving?”Rolandfurrowed his brow, and opened his mouth in protest, but found himself unable to disagree. “I…yes I suppose it probably is.” He turned and began to walk away from the cathedral, a loud buzzing noise in his ears.“Goodbye, friend.” Roland could hardly hear the young man speak amidst the growing haze in his mind. As he neared the street corner, a sudden crack brought the world sharply back into focus, and Roland spun about to face the blonde youth. But the youth was gone. In his place, the shard of glass lay broken on the cobblestones, the strange symbol shattered into pieces, ground into the stone by the heel of a boot.  \nExpansion icon  \nCards in this expansion are marked with the Cities in Ruin expansion icon to distinguish these cards from the cards in other Eldritch Horror products.  \nComponents  \nThe Cities in Ruin expansion contains these components:  \n4 Investigator Sheets  \n1 Ancient One Sheet  \n76 Encounter Cards  \n4 General  \n4 America  \n4 Europe  \n4 Asia/Australia  \n6 Expedition  \n6 Other World  \n16 Devastation  \n24 Research  \n8 Special  \n6 Mystery Cards  \n24 Mythos Cards  \n16 Disaster Cards  \n4 Prelude Cards  \n4 Artifact Cards  \n16 Asset Cards  \n20 Condition Cards  \n12 Spell Cards  \n24 Unique Asset Cards  \n4 Investigator Tokens with Plastic Stands  \n10 Monster Tokens (4 normal, 6 epic)  \n8 Devastation Tokens  \n8 Health Tokens  \n6 Sanity Tokens  \n8 Eldritch Tokens  \nexpansion overview  \nIn the Cities in Ruin expansion, investigators must discover the cause of the unnatural disasters—terrifying earthquakes that shake cities to rubble, devastating typhoons that flood the coastlines, and torrential storms that wreak havoc on the mainlands.
