Dunwich is a small village located along the Miskatonic¸ upriver from Arkham. Until 1806¸ Dunwich was a thriving community¸ boasting many mills and the powerful Whateley family. Those among the Whateleys came to know dark secrets about the world¸ and they fell into the worship of unwholesome creatures from other times and places. Retreating to the hills and forests surrounding the town¸ they betrayed their uncorrupted kin. Prosperity fled¸ and a dark despair seized the people. What remains is a skeleton town¸ mills closed¸ its citizens without hope or future. However¸ secrets of the Mythos survive¸ to be discovered by brave and enterprising investigators.
