Cult of the Skull
Cult of the Skull — a secret order; rites inferred from ledgers, baptisms, and disappearances. Register ME-1921-Y87/7777.
Overview
Filed under register ME-1921-Y87/7777; cite `cult-of-the-skull` in all outbound correspondence.
Cult of the Skull enters the archive under protest from reason and with sponsorship from repeated evidence.
Hyperborean remnant venerating skull imagery before ice took Lomar.
Period attestation: lovecraft-1920s.
Cross-reference before fieldwork; cite slug in all reports; do not bring back souvenirs that pulse.
Description
Overlaps Voormi and Tsathoggua worship in Smith pastiche.
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
Fragments appear in Book of Eibon commentaries.
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.
What sleeps is not dead; what is catalogued here may be doing neither.
Archive Notes
Cite archive slug `cult-of-the-skull` in all cross-references. What sleeps is not dead; what is catalogued here may be doing neither.
