Anna Liddel

**Anna Liddel** also known as **Anna Cavendish** is a character in *The Sinking City*.

This page contains spoilers for the case Quid Pro Quo.

Anna Liddel is a member of the EOD who Charles first meets during the Quid Pro Quo case.

She is first seen at the Fish Market distributing free fish to the needy people in Oakmont.

She is the ex-wife of Prof. George Cavendish, who was not happy about her involvement with the EOD. She left him after telling him that the child she was pregnant with was not his, but "blessed by the sea".
Flood

**The Flood** is an event in *The Sinking City*, It is a devastating natural disaster that beset the secluded coastal city of Oakmont, Massachusetts in 1920. Its arrival coincided with the propagation of disturbing visions featuring a sinking city and an indescribable presence looming over it; although the visions have afflicted many people elsewhere, they are most common and pronounced in Oakmont since the Flood. In addition, nightmarish creatures called Wylebeasts that aggressively attack have appeared, drawn to scenes of death. Pockets of Oakmont have been designated Infested Areas and been abandoned, though the local police have been able to contain their spread with some success.

For six months, the Flood has persisted with no sign of ever abating. Oakmont was completely severed from the mainland, creating a resource shortage that caused the value of the dollar to collapse and bullets to become the preferred currency. Only one ship, the *Charon*, still travels between Oakmont and the mainland, ferrying newcomers who were driven to Oakmont by their visions. A number of Oakmont's streets have also been perpetually submerged, and small motor boats have replaced cars as the most convenient way to travel within the city. Despite the many hardships brought by the Flood, normal life in Oakmont struggles on, after a fashion: preparations are underway for an upcoming mayoral election, *The Oakmont Chronicle* continues printing new issues, the police maintain a semblance of order, and the two remaining Grand Families still hold the city's reins.

Most recently, Robert Throgmorton of the Throgmorton Grand Family has organized a deep sea expedition headed by his son, Albert Throgmorton, to find the source of the Flood. The expedition embarked to investigate the seabed surrounding Oakmont, but failed to return.

Mirror-maker's house

**Mirror-maker's house** is a location in *The Sinking City*

## Description

**Mirror-maker's house** is a large white painted, wood-sided house in northern Oldgrove. It has a brick and wrought iron fence surrounding it. It can be entered by both front and back doors. It has two floors and a basement.

### Ground floor

The ground floor is in much rougher shape than the majority of other homes in Oldgrove, there is water on the floor, several walls have been destroyed and portions of the ceiling seem to be collapsing. Next to the front entryway is a lootable trunk. The main room is largely empty, the side room has a stack of envelopes on the table which can be examined.

> "*These have been here a while*"
> ― Charles Reed
>
>

 The wall next to the table is illusory, behind it is a small table which is inside a circle of some kind, on this table is a tiny coffin and a mirror on a red pillow. Examining this will reveal Omens which will lead Reed to the basement. On the dining room table there are some Antipsychotics and a newspaper article entitled Eligible Bachelor

### First Floor

The first floor is in just as poor shape as the ground floor, with large sections of the floor replaced with planks of wood and a large plant growing in the center. In the first area there is a grand piano, next to which is a trunk which can be looted. To the right of the trunk is an entrance with a fallen statue. Inside this room is a large stack of books and newspapers which can be examined

> "*Somebody's been doing their homework*"
> ― Charles Reed
>
>

 On a nearby mattress (near the tipped bed) is an Occult tome, next to which is a First aid kit. In the next room over are a great many newspapers. On an easel near the back of the room is a newspaper that says "...the biggest mirror exhibition in the history of Oakmont, including master Randall's finest creations." The bulletin board above the desk can be examined as well "... his manor into a museum of vintage mirrors, collected over many decades."

### Basement 1

This room is partially overgrown and has most of its items shoved into the corner. One of these items is a lootable trunk.

### Basement 2

The floor of this level is flooded, and the walls overgrown. Around the first corner is what appears to be a mostly empty room, but if Reed is following the omens or uses his Mind's Eye he will find the illusory wall at the back. This leads to another flooded room which connects to a stone floored section. Inside this section there is a stone altar on which is a tiny casket and a photograph, both of which can be examined. Behind the altar is a pillar surrounded with an occult sign on the floor on this pillar is a mirror which can also be examined. (note, standing near this mirror causes constant sanity drain.). The last section of the basement is a brick section with several pipes and boxes, nothing of note.

## Loot

* Trunk (ground floor, near the front entrance.)
* Antipsychotics (ground floor, dining room table)
* Trunk (first floor, near the piano)
* First aid kit (first floor, near the overturned bed)
* Trunk (basement 1, at the bottom of the stairs)

Innsmouth

**Innsmouth, Massachusetts** was a coastal town that was razed by the police sometime shortly before 1920. Its residents, the Innsmouthers, had developed a unique, fish-like physical appearance, which they took pride in and boasted was a "blessing of the sea".

Following the destruction of Innsmouth, many Innsmouthers fled to nearby Oakmont as refugees, but were met with prejudice and disdain. The Blackwood Grand Family initially sheltered the Innsmouthers, but that stopped after the Blackwoods vanished amidst the Flood. Robert Throgmorton of the Throgmorton Grand Family has devoted his considerable influence to ensuring the city administration of Oakmont continues to deny aid and opportunity to the Innsmouthers.

## The Shadow Over Innsmouth

Innsmouth is a fictional town created by H. P. Lovecraft. It's the setting of *The Shadow over Innsmouth*, and is also referenced in several other of his works. You can read it here. The Sinking City's Innsmouth varies slighty from the book.

## Trivia & References

* The Innsmouthers appearance resembles the infamous Blobfish, titled "The World's Ugliest Fish." [*Citation needed*]
* The Devil's Reef Hotel is a reference to the Devil Reef, a low black reef a mile and a half out from Innsmouth Harbor.
* Oakmont doesn't appear on maps, like Innsmouth.
Daryl Grimes

**Daryl Grimes** is a character in *The Sinking City*.

Daryl Grimes is an Innsmouther working as a security guard for the EOD, stationed at their fish storage warehouse which you have to investigate in the Quid Pro Quo case.

Daryl whittles wooden toy boats for the children at Oakmont's orphanage, an activity that kept him distracted enough not to hear an intruder until they knocked over a pallet. On his work table, you can find a note from the orphanage reading :

> *"Dear Mr Grimes,*
>
>

> *We can't thank you enough for what you do for the children. In these dark times, your toys go down like a tall glass of water. We all pray for your good health every day. We also kindly remind you that we still await your visit ! All our staff (and of course, the children) are eager to finally meet our benefactor in person. So please don't hesitate, and come as soon as you are able.*
>
>

> *With eternal gratitude;*
>
>

> *Administration of Oakmont's St. Jerome's orphanage"*
>
>

It is probable that Daryl hasn't answered to the invitation because of his Innsmouth descent, scared of the stereotypes around it.

He chased the intruder out of the storage with a harpoon but wasn't quick enough to prevent some of the stocks being poisoned. He is afraid of the consequences if the EOD finds out about his distraction.

He feels guilty, and even if you do not denounce him to the EOD, he will punish himself by guarding the place for a month straight. Reed can also convince Daryl to leave the city if the player decides to poison the fish for Cavendish.

## Quotes

* "May the sea bless/protect you."
* (Reed tells him about the poisoning) "Kay, this is horrible. Please don't tell Anna it was my fault, or she'll have me quartered !"
* (Reed tells him he has to say it was his fault) "Kay... All these people might suffer because I... because I... Do what you must Mr Reed."
* (Reed asks him if he can't leave town to avoid punishment) "You don't understand, Mr Reed. You can't hide from your own conscience."

Acheronians

**Acheronians** are creatures in *The Sinking City*

> ***Research on Oakmont's Post-Flood Fauna, by Prof. Westerbrook, Oakmont University.***
>
>

> ***Part four : Acheronians.***
>
>

> *The biggest, and most dangerous of the new post-Flood arrivals are the Acheronians. They can swallow a whole human body, and are extremely resilient. But most importantly, their tissues respond to reanimation no matter how long they were dead ! This marvellous creature can be revived by applying the proper discharges to the main neural cord located on its neck. I have hypothesized that if we were able to extract this substance from its glands... perharps we would hold the key to curing death itself !*
>
>

Acheronians are the biggest wylebeasts you encounter during your trip to Oakmont. They are tall and large, with six arms and six legs. They are powerful, and the player should be careful when facing them, especially in cramped spaces like basements or homes.

They are formed by several bodies merging together.

They attack with their arms and by lunging their upper body at the player. Several strong shots in their weak spot are needed to kill them. One type explodes when killed.

   The keyframe animation of the creature can be found here.

## Trivia

* One Acheronian is summoned in the basement of the Blackwood Manor.
* In Greek mythology, Acheron - the river of woe - is one of the rivers Charon crosses with his boat to lead the dead to the Underworld.
