Servants of the Sunken Pantheon, the Hidden Ones make their home in
coastal towns and villages around the world. Through corruption and
interbreeding, the Hidden Ones irrevocably link their community to the
sea and to Dread Father Dagon, Deep Mother Hydra, and the other ancient
deities that they worship. The rise of sterile cities has forced the
Hidden Ones further into the shadows and has pushed them towards the
isolated communities where it is easier to go unnoticed. The families
can prey on their neighbours, considering them little more than
talkative sheep ready for slaughter. Food is not an issue for these
ancient bloodlines that hide amongst the rest of us, and their numbers
are growing with each cycle.
Typical of such tainted communities
are the fair (but fishy) folk of Dunsmouth, Rhode Island. The authority
on almost anything in town is a putrid hag known as The Dunsmouth Witch.
Steeped in ancient wisdom, none know of her true origin, but the Witch
has certainly lived in Dunsmouth for over a century. Popular gossip has
that a century earlier, a much younger and fairer looking woman,
mourning her stillborn son, walked into the sea in the hope of swift
oblivion. She returned carrying a crying baby boy, a gift from the
Sunken Pantheon. That son grew up tall and strong, the blessings of the
deep apparent beneath his rain-soaked sou'wester. Any threat to the
Hidden Ones is sure to find The Dunsmouth Witch or her son, The
Fisherman, close at hand. The Fisherman is a gruff and violent man.
Never seen in town except when the tide is high and death is at hand.
All too often the spectre of The Fisherman is the last thing a victim
sees before a gore-encrusted boat hook sweeps down to usher in oblivion.
Those
who are steadfast in their devotion to the Sunken Pantheon are often
blessed with offspring touched by the abyss below. These hybrids pass
for humans except when confronted with fire or certain words of power.
There are some children of the Hidden Ones who are not of such mixed
heritage. The Angler is one such creature, born to a human mother but
with no trace of mankind in its flesh. The Angler is both a child of
Dunsmouth and progenitor from the deep. A true Deep One.
Loyal to
the Mother and Father, Molly Malone, is desperate to find such favour.
The Malone family have served the Sunken Pantheon for generations.
Youngest of twelve siblings, Molly feared that there would not be a way
in which she herself could bring further honour to her lineage. She
thanked the stars for that night that the Witch sought her out and gave
her this important duty. The titanic crab, Click-Clack, must be lured
out from the harbour when needed. The pails of human offal that Molly
must acquire for such a purpose is her privilege to collect from the
sleeping homeless and itinerant visitors to their fair town. An immense
crustacean from the dark caverns of the deep, Click-Clack is often found
clinging to the underside of the town's trawlers. There the creature
lurks, journeying out to the fishing grounds and feasting on its tithe
of the catch before returning to the town each night to answer the call
of the Dread and the Deep.
