hen suddenly I saw it. With only a slight churning to mark its rise to the surface, the thing slid into view above the dark waters. Vast, Polyphemus-like, and loathsome, it darted like a stupendous monster of nightmares to the monolith, about which it flung its gigantic scaly arms, the while it bowed its hideous head and gave vent to certain measured sounds. I think I went mad then.
HP Lovecraft Dagon


Deep in the heart of the wastelands are the ancient catacombs of Dagon,once part of a thriving city whose inhabitants worshiped at the altars of the mighty old one himself. They're ghosts only now remain to kiss the desert salt winds. But the dungeons and ruins of this mighty temple complex still call adventurers to brave the war droids and golems who are said to patrol this deep in the wastes but what treasures have been unearthed in the past? From time to time dealers in antiquities have had weird finds pass through their hands and whispers upon the salt air speak of the ancient cults of Dagon still flourishing and festering somewhere out in the bays of the Atlantandrian ports.
