Overview
Filed under register ME-1933-O49/9844; cite `children-of-the-yellow-sign` in all outbound correspondence.
Children of the Yellow Sign enters the archive under protest from reason and with sponsorship from repeated evidence.
Chambers-derived cult wearing the Sign and staging the play.
Period attestation: post-lovecraft.
The Library holds primary text; this dossier holds orientation — never the reverse.
Description
Overlaps Brotherhood of the Yellow Sign in later fiction.
Sensory reports conflict in detail — scale, colour, limb count — yet agree that the phenomenon offends proportion.
Olfactory notes in depositions: salt, copper, wet stone, and organic sweetness like fruit fermenting in a closed room.
Historical Record
Madness spreads by art, not only by blood rite.
Post-1937 pastiche and game supplements multiplied references; the archive tags those layers expanded mythos unless a primary citation is supplied.
Cross-links at dossier foot should be treated as hypotheses, not as family trees carved in stone.
Cult Activity
Do not engage alone; do not accept hospitality from hosts who show windows to other eras.
Submit Form Theta-9 if conversation turns to cities remembered only in sleep.
If the name appears in dreams three nights running, withdraw from the case and request audit.
