The Dark Rites of Cthulhu

Overview

Expedition register ME-1929-M52/6667 — cross-index under slug `the-dark-rites-of-cthulhu`.

In the marginalia of the Latin Necronomicon the name The Dark Rites of Cthulhu appears beside tides, eclipses, or breeding cycles we cannot reproduce in laboratory glass.

No sober cartographer places The Dark Rites of Cthulhu on a map mortals may buy; nevertheless, deeds, drownings, and dreams cluster where the name is whispered.

New England incidents teach a rhythm: polite towns, old families, water or hills that smell wrong, then a paper trail ending in sanitariums. The Dark Rites of Cthulhu may or may not follow that rhythm — check dates before you blame Cthulhu for a Vermont landslide.

Cross-reference before fieldwork; cite slug in all reports; do not bring back souvenirs that pulse.

Field Observations

Do not engage alone; two witnesses minimum, three preferred if the name was spoken aloud.

Burn nothing found pulsing; catalogue first, then burn if protocol allows.

The Library holds primary text; this dossier holds orientation — never the reverse.
