| This set of pages is the result of a research
work, and subsequent discussions, about one of the less known organizations
in the Call of Cthulhu universe.
The Order of the Sword of Saint Gerome is briefly described in Chaosium's Keeper's Compendium, as a secretive organization devoted to the study of the Mythos on behalf- originally - of the Catholic Church, and today of its devious and paranoid masters. Five short paragraphs is all we get. And yet, those five paragraphs are extremely suggestive.

As for the contents of this document... | |
| The following pages will not reveal how a 5th century
Saint, patron of
Translators and Satirists, came to be involved with the Mythos. On the other hand, the Order itself will be dissected for the edification and instruction of keepers and players alike. Theories about its birth and official demise will be offered. Symbols will be discussed. The seat of the Order's Library, and part of its contents will be revealed. The inner workings of the Order, its aims and some of its chief members will be detailed. All for the sake of the game. The nearby buttons will lead you to the appropriate files - note that they are presented following the order in which the general research was developed. |

And as we are rather serious about our games, time is come to give credit where credit's due:
Keith
Herber dreamed up the Order in the first place.
The
Delta Green List Members started the discussion and kept it
going
The Emerald Hammer Crew asked for some Order involvement in the
Roman Chapter
Some
of this material was tested on live members of the Tuesday Evening
Team.
Chaosium,
Inc. holds the rights to the Call of Cthulhu RPG and
its supplements, including the Compendium.
The
gentlemen at Pagan Publishing created Delta Green.
The
Catholic Church has nothing to do with all this, but still
has all of our respect - this is just gaming material and it was not our
intention to offend anybody's sensibilities.
All references to real events or persons - if not with a clear satirical intent - are unintentional.
This document is dedicated to the members of the Strange Vistas
Volcano-Jumping Team.
