The Shadow Over Providence

Overview

Filed under register ME-1928-Z56/4934; cite `the-shadow-over-providence` in all outbound correspondence.

The Shadow Over Providence cannot be visited like Providence; it is approached through texts, dreams, and disasters that leave coordinates in dispute.

Survivors of The Shadow Over Providence disagree on weather, century, and compass bearing — agreement on dread is nearly unanimous.

New England incidents teach a rhythm: polite towns, old families, water or hills that smell wrong, then a paper trail ending in sanitariums. The Shadow Over Providence 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.

Game manuals and wiki pages from 1980 onward treat the name as franchise furniture; date your citations or fail the course.
