Did the town name translate to "Innsmouth" by any chance? Is the high priest "Father Dagon"?

I wonder what an underwater race's inner temple sanctum would be filled with.  Air?

That was an awesome story.

The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.

Obsidian. They tried to fill it with magma but it didn't work right.

This is a fox skull helmet. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It menaces with spikes of fox bone and is encircled with bands of fox leather. This item is haunted by the ghost of Alfador Angrorung the fox.

This is the one that had me LOLing. All these engravings of the history of a murder cult and out of nowhere, 'The Cheerful Fisher'. Something about the mental picture of a guy with a straw hat and a cane pole sitting on a pier, then oh look, another evil priest enjoying a bout of maniacal laughter...

Talking about The Shadow Over Innsmouth?  I never read that one.  I found The Hound to be his scariest.  It definitely had the best ending:
"Madness rides the star-wind... claws and teeth sharpened on centuries of corpses... dripping death astride a bacchanale of bats from nigh-black ruins of buried temples of Belial... Now, as the baying of that dead fleshless monstrosity grows louder and louder, and the stealthy whirring and flapping of those accursed web-wings closer and closer, I shall seek with my revolver the oblivion which is my only refuge from the unnamed and unnameable."

Think about it, what if Toady figured out how to influence architecture and NPC behavior based on religion.  Or what if he made Deep Ones?  Outer Gods?  Oh snap...
