Return to: Dunwich
 |
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.
Return to Dunwich contains extensive background information about a town originally created and described by H.P. Lovecraft in his terrifying tales of horror. Pertinent buildings¸ useful people¸ and important locations are described in depth. A 17x22 map of Dunwich Country depicts the area for miles around. Two new scenarios are included: one introductory and the other suitable for many evenings of play. Various links and leads to Arkham are included; possession of Arkham Unveiled is useful but not necessary.
