Innsmouth

The village of Innsmouth was founded in 1643. The citizens of nearby settlements shun Innsmouth due to the reclusive and oddly deformed inhabitants.
Folk from Innsmouth are said to have "the Innsmouth look" displaying vaguely fish and/or frog like features through the face, especially through the eyes.

Demographics

Oddly deformed citizens populate this small village of under 400 souls.

Industry & Trade

Originally active in the China trade. Fishing is the main industry. A small gold refinery is still in operation.

History

Launched many privateers during the Revolutionary War and War of 1812.
Founded in 1643, noted for shipbuilding before the Revolution, a seat of great marine prosperity in the early nineteenth century, and later a minor factory centre. The loss of sailors due to shipwrecks and the War of 1812 caused the town's profitable trade with the South Seas to falter; by 1828, the only fleet still running that route was that of Captain Obed Marsh, the head of one of the town's leading families.
Records indicate that in 1846 a mysterious plague struck the town, causing mass depopulation.

Geography
