Chorazos Cult

The Chorazos Cult (erroneously called "Choronzon Cult") is a religious cult dedicated to the worship of Yog-Sothoth. It appears in the Encyclopedia Cthulhiana, a supplement to the role-playing game Call of Cthulhu. The cult gets its name from the founder, a man of supposed gypsy descent who welcomed cultists from various parts of the world.
This enigmatic and fanatical cult was founded in the mountains of Romania in the late 16th century, but moved to Elizabethan England. Although they owned a temple in Finchley with royal approval, an investigation by John Dee forced them to leave the place. It was then that they settled in a house, but a year later the locals set it on fire, with which they cursed the place and left. It was then that Chorazos and his followers arrived in Scotland. Although King James IV opposed what he saw as witchcraft, the cult developed a good reputation due to its alleged healing powers, but was eventually disbanded again by the villagers as its true nature was revealed.
The cult returned to the present day in the United States. Its goal is to awaken Yog-Sothoth.

*The name of this fanatic cult could be an allusion to Choronzon, a demon that appears in the writings of the occultists John Dee and Edward Kelley, and that again would be referenced in those of Aleister Crowley.
