Innsmouth Marsh Refinery
Innsmouth Marsh Refinery — a mythos location; coordinates disputed, testimony consistent in mood. Register ME-1933-G84/4492.
Overview
Filed under register ME-1933-G84/4492; cite `marsh-refinery` in all outbound correspondence.
Innsmouth Marsh Refinery cannot be visited like Providence; it is approached through texts, dreams, and disasters that leave coordinates in dispute.
Industrial front for Deep One gold smuggling on the Manuxet.
Period attestation: lovecraft-1920s.
Cross-reference before fieldwork; cite slug in all reports; do not bring back souvenirs that pulse.
Description
Marsh family holdings; tunnels connect to offshore reefs.
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
Raid survivors describe brine vats and altar rooms.
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.
Field Observations
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 `marsh-refinery` in all cross-references. What sleeps is not dead; what is catalogued here may be doing neither.
