## Mythos

*Massa di Requiem per Shuggay* first appeared in the book *Mysterious Manuscripts* (Aniolowski et al., 1991).

*Massa di Requiem per Shuggay* is an Italian opera written in 1768 by Benevento Chieti Bordighera. Bordighera, a gifted young composer, was born in Rome in 1746, and made many travels throughout Europe. Only one performance of the opera was made, but this was
enough for Pope Clement XIII to ban it in 1769. Bordighera was imprisoned for heresy in 1770 and executed in the following year.

Many professional musicians have declared the score to be unplayable, since certain parts have been written for unknown instruments and notes that cannot possibly be rendered. Copies of the opera are kept at the British Museum, Bibliothèque Nationale, and the Vatican Library, and others are held by private collectors in India, Japan, and the United States. The German band Knochen Maschine adapted the piece into a modern format; the two singers hired to perform the main portions died shortly thereafter.

The opera tells the story of the destruction of Shaggai, and the journeys of its former inhabitants throughout space, a tale filled with death, incest, and rape. It also details the insects from Shaggai's worship of Azathoth and a being known as Baoht Z'uqqa-Mogg, the Bringer of Pestilence. Performing the entire opera will result in the summoning of Azathoth.

## Fiction

### The Story So Far

Anderson took seven men with him into the Yucatán. Two came back—more or less. Technically, three men made it out of that jungle alive, but Mitch Brown's not exactly himself anymore. As a point of fact, he's a blithering madman now, and has already been shipped off to the asylum.

Leo couldn't read the tablets they found in those ruins—only Dr. Volk could, of the seven of them—but he's holding the good doctor's notes in his hand. The ones Volk took before he went mad. Before he killed two of Anderson's men.

Now Anderson's fresh off the boat and he's got word that Dr. Philips, the man who organized the Yucatán expedition in the first place, is dead. Philips is dead, and that leaves Anderson holding the scribblings of a murderous lunatic—scribblings with today's date circled in blood.

Leo Anderson spends his life getting into the deadliest and most obscure corners of the globe, but there is a cost. Along the way, he's lost good people. Some succumbed to illness, others to the inhospitable clime, and some to things that will haunt Leo for the rest of his days. His most recent expedition ended in complete disaster. Mitch was the only one of his people to survive or at least remain human.
Leo is sick of burying the people who trusted him. But now that he knows what lurks in the forgotten reaches beyond civilization, he can't quit until the job is done.

Leo Anderson has spent his whole life getting into the deadliest and most obscure corners of the globe. Along the way, he's lost good people. He often questions whether such academic pursuits have been worth the lives lost. His most recent expedition, an ill-fated voyage to Nan Madol to recover *Olosopha's Almanac*, ended in complete disaster. Mitch was the only one of his people to survive, or at the very least, to remain human. Leo is sick of burying people who trusted him. But now he knows these expeditions aren't purely academic in nature—and he won't quit until the job is done.

Miskatonic River

The **Miskatonic River** flows west-east, originating west of the town of Aylesbury and reaching the Atlantic Ocean just north of Kingsport, after passing through the Miskatonic Valley. Its name is of Alglonquin origin.

Before reaching its estuary, the river passes through the city of Arkham, splitting it into two. At this point a lone, Unvisited Isle breaks the monotony of the river's surface.

## Mythos

The Miskatonic river first appeared in the story *The Picture in the House* (H.P. Lovecraft, 1920).

The Miskatonic river is a body of water that springs from the hills to the west of Dunwich, Massachusetts. The river flows east past the town of Dunwich and continues in that direction for many miles before turning to the southeast a few miles south of Bolton. Next, the Miskatonic runs through the town of Arkham and empties into the sea two miles to the south, just northeast of Kingsport.

The Miskatonic's name may have originated from a Native American tribe known as the Misqat, an offshoot of the Massachusetts Indians who lived within this valley.

Lola Hayes

Investigator

**Lola Hayes** is an Investigator that appears in the *Arkham Horror Second Edition* Kingsport Horror, *Elder Sign* Omens of the Deep, and *Arkham Horror: The Card Game* The Path to Carcosa.

## Fiction

### The Story So Far

Lola walked out the doors of Arkham Asylum into a bright, sunny day. It had been the right move, checking herself into the sanitarium to recuperate after her last show. She still didn't like to think about that play, of course—all that strange chanting and those awful masks; they still appeared sometimes in her nightmares.

She glanced down again at the newspaper clipping in her hand. "Famous Director Hangs Himself!" She had decided to check out of the asylum when she had seen it and realized that there was something more to that play than just her own wild imaginings.

Subtly checking once more to make sure her derringer was still safely hidden, Lola strode back out onto center stage for what could be her final starring role.

Lola has performed to sold-out houses worldwide, but no play has been as haunting or as odd as The King in Yellow. Even during rehearsals, everything about it brought calamity and dread. When her co-star, Miriam, was found floating dead in the Seine, she decided she'd had enough, and penned a letter to the director explaining that her next performance would be her last. Now she heads home to Arkham for one final show, hoping she can finally be rid of this dreadful play.

Mu is a sunken continent one thousand miles south of Easter Island. Mu rose from the Pacific Ocean in the time of the Elder Things. It was later colonized by Cthulhu's Star Spawn, who retained it after the war with the Elder Things until they sank beneath the waves with R'lyeh.

Mu was supposedly the land where humans first appeared, spreading from there
to the rest of the world.

## Mythos

Mi-gos first appeared in the story *The Whisperer in Darkness* (H.P. Lovecraft, 1930).

The Mi-gos, also known as Fungi from Yuggoth, are beings with a vast empire reaching beyond the stars, with its closest outpost on Pluto, otherwise known as Yuggoth. These beings resemble winged crustaceans with egg-shaped heads that constantly change color, their chief means of communication.

The mi-go arrived on our world earth during the Jurassic period. They fought off attacks from the Elder Things in order to settle in the Northern Hemisphere, where for the most part they have remained ever since.

The fungi show a great deal of interest in our planet, because Earth contains deposits of certain minerals that are not found in other parts of the universe (or at least gates to other dimensions with these deposits). These substances are used to grow the fungi that they use as food. To obtain these minerals, the fungi have set up mining bases in the Andes, the Appalachians, and the Himalayas. Such bases are usually hidden, with the mi-go recruiting members of the local population to help them keep their activities secret. Word of their actions usually spreads despite this secrecy, and references to these curious creatures are often found in the legends of the countryside surrounding the creatures' lairs. Their bodies sometimes appear after floods, as mi-go drown if submerged in water, adding substance to the local folklore.

One of the mi-go's most amazing feats of body alteration involves a device known as a Mi-Go Brain Cylinder. This procedure is usually reserved for those whom the mi-go especially favor or despise.

Moon-Beasts are creatures native to the Dreamlands' moon. They are slippery white toad-like beings whose only sensory organs are pinkish tentacles protruding from their snouts. (How the moon-beasts perceive their surroundings is unknown, though they seem to communicate by playing flutes.) They prefer to dwell on the dark side of the moon, but may also be found aboard the black galleons of the men from Leng as rowers and officers.

## Fiction

### NOTHING STAYS BURIED

Monterey has been a globe-trotting treasure hunter and adventurer for many years. Following in his father's footsteps, he's always tried to ensure that the specific value of his finds is preserved. Recently, he followed a lead on an odd prehistoric statue to Arkham. However, when he arrived, the man he came to buy the statue from was locked up in the asylum. Monterey was just about to give up and go home in disgust when a robed figure pushed past him.

For just an instant, there was a flash of a silver pendant with a symbol on it Monterey would never forget. That symbol had been carved into his murdered father's forehead, and had haunted his dreams for years.

Chasing after the mysterious figure, he turned a corner only to discover that he had lost his quarry.

However, Monterey knows that somewhere in Arkham may lie the answer to the mystery of his father's murder, and he's not leaving until he finds it.

Jack has always ascribed his success in archaeology to his father's advice. "History whispers, Monterey. All you have to do is listen." His father always called him Monterey as a joke. Jack never found the nickname to be as funny as his father did. For years, Jack wandered the globe in search of forgotten treasures, but the time eventually came when his life of adventure took a tragic turn. Jack's father had been murdered and an unrecognizable sigil had been carved into his forehead. Jack was devastated. He had no idea who would do this or why. But he intended to find answers. History whispers and Monterey Jack listens.

**Mark Harrigan** is an Investigator that appears in the *Arkham Horror Second Edition* Dunwich Horror, *Elder Sign* Unseen Forces, and *Arkham Horror: The Card Game* The Path to Carcosa.

## Fiction

### The Story So Far

Most people think Mark Harrigan is crazy. They can't blame him if he is—he's back from the war, he's seen things no man should see, and there's plenty who came back broken in body or spirit. But Harrigan came back in one piece, all right. He had Sophie.

Sophie believed him, she believed when he wrote her about the things he saw—not the men killing other men, but the other things, the monsters. She believed, and that was enough to keep him sane in the trenches, enough to keep him alive.

Then he came home and went to visit Sophie, and he found out that the reason she believed him was that she had one of the creatures inside her, eating her from the inside out. As he watched in helpless horror, she faded away into the air, screaming as the thing finished its meal.

Now everyone thinks Mark Harrigan is crazy. Maybe he is. Maybe he's finally lost it. But he knows the monsters are real and they're here, and he's got to stop them. As he crouches down in front of the altar in South Church, he prays for Sophie's soul, and he prays for forgiveness for the many, many sins he's about to commit all over this godforsaken town.

There were plenty who returned from the war broken in body or spirit. But Mark Harrigan had witnessed horrors he could not explain. His beloved Sophie believed him when he wrote her about the things he saw - not the men killing other men, but the other things. The creatures. When he came home and went to visit her, he found the reasons she believed him: she had one of the creatures inside her, eating her from the inside out. As he watched in helpless horror, she faded away into the air, screaming as the thing finished its meal. Now everyone thinks Mark Harrigan is crazy. Maybe he's finally lost it, after all. But he knows the monsters are real, and he will not rest until every last one is dead.

God worshiped in both Theem'hdra and Earth's Dreamlands who often takes the form of a bipedal saurian. Mnomquah is imprisoned within the Black Lake of Ubboth at the moon's core. At one time its power was much greater, but then a rogue spawn of Azathoth was sighted on a collision course with the Dreamlands' moon. Working with the sorcerer Haon-Dor, Mnomquah wove a spell which kept the spawn at bay but drained most of his energy. Someday, Mnomquah will be freed from its prison, coming down from the moon to Sarkomand to mate with Oorn.

The Thuun'ha and the creatures of The Nameless City once served Mnomquah. In the Dreamlands, the Moon-beasts and their servitors from the Plateau of Leng worship the god.

### The Story So Far

Marie Lambeau always had a voice to die for. People called her "the Smoky Velvet." They said she was born to sing jazz, that she had the magic touch—and maybe they were right.

Once, Marie heard of a man who could make the dead dance when he played his trumpet. She never could do that—her voice wasn't magic that way. But when people hear it, they like it, and they like her, and that suits her just fine.

Marie's grande-mere just passed away. Why the old dame moved from New Orleans to Arkham, Marie never knew. Anyway, she never paid much attention to the stories people told about the old woman. She just figured they were jealous. But now, she's sitting in Ma's Boarding House holding her grandmother's knife, and she can hear it singing with a voice like smoky velvet...

Down in New Orleans, folks know that Marie Lambeau's voice contains a lagniappe, or a little something extra. Her beautiful skill has gained her entrance to the most exclusive events all over the world, and no one who hears her sing can help but fall under her spell. What the many fans of Marie Lambeau do not realize is that she learned more than folk songs from her grand-mère in the bayou. Now Marie is using all of the secrets she has learned to push back against the chaos threatening Arkham. And she will always have the help of her fans at the Nightingale.

Marie Lambeau always had a voice to die for. People called her "the Smoky Velvet." They said she was born to sing jazz, that she had the magic touch — and maybe they were right. After all, the songs she heard in her dreams ever since her Grand-Mère passed away were like nothing she'd ever heard before. The vocals sounded like no language spoken on Earth, the notes twisted and warped. Why her Grand-Mère had moved from New Orleans to Arkham, Marie would never know. People used to call her Grand-Mère a witch. Maybe there's more than just jazz in Marie's blood, after all...

Professor Albert Wilmarth first appeared in the story *The Whisperer in Darkness* (H.P. Lovecraft, 1930).

Professor Albert Wilmarth is a noted folklorist and assistant professor of English at Miskatonic University. He became involved in the debate over the inhuman bodies seen after the Vermont floods of 1927. Wilmarth strongly asserted that the creatures sighted in
the waters did not exist. After a spirited defense of his viewpoints, however, he inexplicably dropped out of the debate. Later, he visited a correspondent in Vermont, but upon arriving found his friend to be missing. The subsequent investigation turned up little evidence, and Wilmarth returned to Arkham baffled.

Following these events, Wilmarth confided in his colleagues Henry Armitage and Nathaniel Peaslee about his discoveries. These men began a campaign to discover the sources behind the legends that were the groundwork of their own experiences. Wilmarth made many long trips in order to visit sites and talk to his network of informants.

## Mythos

Professor Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee first appeared in the story *The Shadow Out of Time* (H.P. Lovecraft, 1935).

One-time professor of political economics, and later psychology, at Miskatonic University. Peaslee was born in Haverhill, Massachusetts and became a
professor of political economics at Miskatonic in 1895.

In 1908, Professor Peaslee underwent a mysterious seizure followed by a bout of amnesia and a severe change in personality. For the next five years, the professor embarked upon a study of history, anthropology, and mythology, undertaking voyages to all parts of the world to consult esoteric information in an apparent attempt to regain his memory. Many psychologists studied him, but confessed that his condition baffled them. This state of affairs concluded in 1913, when Peaslee inexplicably returned to health.

Peaslee seemed completely normal at first, though he found he had an inexplicable knowledge of both Aklo and Classical Greek. Soon after his return, however, he was plagued by nightmares of alien creatures and tremendous stone cities. These visions forced him to abandon the professorship that the University had returned to him, and he spent the next few years attempting to discover the roots of his affliction. While searching through many other cases like his own, Peaslee found many striking parallels between his own condition and those of others in the past. These findings were published in several academic journals, and in 1922, the University awarded him a professorship in Miskatonic's psychology department in recognition of his achievements.

Along with his son Wingate, and Professors Dyer, Freeborn, and Tyler, Nathaniel Peaslee traveled to Australia in 1935 to aid in excavations of a supposed ruined city in the desert. A month and a half later, he left the diggings, following an attempt to cease excavations in a certain area.

## Mythos

Randolph Carter first appeared in the story *The Statement of Randolph Carter* (H.P. Lovecraft, 1919).

Boston author and mystic. In his early years, Randolph Carter became known as one of the Dreamlands' greatest travelers. The people of that land still tell the tale of his journey to Kadath in the Cold Waste to ask for the sunset city of his dreams, possibly the greatest task undertaken by any dreamer.

On October 7, 1928, Randolph Carter vanished in the ruins of his family's ancestral mansion outside Arkham. A few of his friends asserted that Carter had gone back to the land of dreams to become the king of Ilek-Vad, but this speculation was not taken seriously.

R'lyeh Text

Support

**R'lyeh Text** is a Support Card that appears in the *Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game* Masks of Nyarlathotep.

## Artwork

## Mythos

The *R'lyeh Text* first appeared in the Call of Cthulhu RPG adventure *The Coven at Cannich* (John Scott Clegg, 1982).

The *R'lyeh Text* is a book originally transcribed on great tablets by the spawn of Cthulhu. These "Black Tablets of R'lyeh" still existed in Hyperborean times, but today the oldest copies are those preserved in scroll form somewhere in the depths of China. These copies, which are at least fifteen thousand years old but probably more ancient, contain characters that look Chinese, but are actually of no human tongue. More recent copies in Chinese have also been found and smuggled out of the country.

This slim book reportedly deals with the proper worship of Cthulhu and his kindred, and many of the Cthulhu cults believe it to be their holiest text. It also contains a spell called the "Breath of Dagon", which allows a person to breathe underwater.

## Mythos

Nug first appeared in the story *The Last Test* (H.P. Lovecraft and Adolphe de Castro, 1927).

Nug and Yeb are two minor Mythos entities, the true origin and significance of which remain a mystery. They are said to be the children of Shub-Niggurath and Yog-Sothoth, and in turn have given birth to Cthulhu by way of asexual fission. On the other hand, others allege that Nug and Yeb are the spawn of Shub-Niggurath and Hastur the Unspeakable; this seems more likely, considering that these beings are often mentioned together.

Nug and Yeb were worshiped together in Irem, Mu, and K'n-yan.

## Mythos

Plutonian Drug first appeared in the story *The Hounds of Tindalos* (Frank Belknap Long, 1929).

Liao, also known as the Plutonian Drug, is a mind-altering substance distilled from the black lotus. Centuries ago, a Chinese alchemist named Liao discovered the formula for this substance. During his use of Liao, Lao Tze envisioned the universal concept of Tao that served as the foundation of his philosophy. The formula for Liao travelled from the East and reached the Saracens. While a captive of the Saracens, Ludvig Prinn learned of it from his teacher Emendid Kejir, and Prinn dutifully copied the formula into De Vermis Mysteriis. Considered rare for many years, Liao is increasingly seen as an ingredient mixed with other drugs to provide different mind-expanding effects.

The drug allows the user to perceive the past, usually from the viewpoint of his ancestors. This may extend far back along the evolutionary chain with a higher dosage, but the user should be careful that they avoid certain beings that can travel to the future and exact their vengeance.

Proto-Shoggoths first appeared in the story *At the Mountains of Madness* (H.P. Lovecraft, 1931).

Proto-Shoggoth is a material the Elder Things derived from Ubbo-Sathla to form their shoggoth servitors. Some of this material has survived to the present day, where it is used in scientific experiments of the mi-go and humans alike. Proto-shoggoth matter melds easily with other living matter, often enhancing its capabilities and making it hardier and more difficult to destroy.

## Mythos

Hunting Horrors first appeared in the story *The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath* (H.P. Lovecraft, 1927).

Hunting Horrors are creatures resembling black-winged serpents of immense size. Horrors originally dwelt on only a few worlds, but they have been sighted flying through space in several galaxies. Extremely bright light may destroy a hunting horror, but such a powerful light-source is rarely available to its victims.

The hunting horrors serve Nyarlathotep, who often sends them to deal with those who displease him. An enterprising wizard who is outside at night may summon one of these monsters, providing a sentient being as a sacrifice for it. If none is available, the horror is happy to devour the magician and depart.
