The Esoteric Order of Dagon, a mysterious following centered in the
decaying port city of Innsmouth. Originally imported by the trading
ships of Obed Marsh, strange rumors abound about its true nature.

a demonic race of aquatic creatures called the Deep Ones. Rumors of
blasphemous rituals by members of the cult seen swimming late at
night to Devil reef off of Innsmouth, and strange inhuman shapes
seen participating with them.... The origin of their name, and its
connection to the ancient God of the ocean, Dagon, worshiped by the
biblical Philistines can only be speculated upon... But they are
wholly evil in nature and wait for their part when Great Cthulhu
rises again and the dark spawn of the sea rise from Y'ha-nethlei to
reclaim the world....
