The Seas of Carcosa

The seas of Carcosa teem with incredible life some mutated beyond recognition & others spawned by the She Goat With a Thousand Young. These are places where the deep ones thrive & unlike their stunted land bound brethren they have thousands of cities beneath the waves. 


There thousands of inhabitants of Carcosa are subject to the predatory trepidation of many kinds of mega predator who in turn are fed upon by the spawn of  Hastur & the star spawn of  Great Cthulhu himself.

It is believed that many of these creatures are the creation of the Great Race, the Elder Things, & the serpent peoples. The seas are wrecked with dimensional storms that move across both space & time randomly dropping the lost, desperate , & the mad into these seas. They do little to disturb the millions of schools of alien fish & what not.

"This was was supposed to go into tonight's Carcosa game but we've had to cancel. There were 5 thunder storm cells that passed through the area. We've lost power 3 times & the last one passed by about an hour ago at that time. "
