By the 23rd century, the urban sprawl of the city of Boston to the south has finally reached Arkham, although the town is still considered a backwater suburb by most Bostonians. The town has been designated a Heritage Area by the Government, and as a result has managed to retain a lot of it’s old world charm.

Arkham Sanatorium was destroyed in a fire in the summer of 2061. The current building dates from 2084, and is built on a site close to the original. Because Arkham is designated a Heritage Area, the new sanatorium was designed to fit in with the surrounding architecture, hence it’s marriage of 21st century innovation and old world Gothic.

All of these are currently still beyond the extent of human explored space.

Home of Cthugha, this star system has not been colonised due to the erratic and violent solar activity of the star. The planets in the solar system are unfit to support human life without extensive terraforming / habitat construction.

Founded in 2178 at Copernicus University Mars, the H G Wells Library has amassed one of the largest public offworld print libraries in the Federal Colonies. In addition it also has a large digital library and archive of colonial artifacts from the original manned landings in 2061, although most of these are kept in the Ares Museum at the original landing site.

Innsmouth was quarantined in 2253 by the FHS after a reported outbreak of Ngano plague. This caused major panic on the American east coast. In fact the outbreak was a cover story – Innsmouth was sealed off after an investigation by Federal officers into disappearances in the region. Several of the town’s leading figures were taken into custody, though many more were discovered to be missing (they fled to the colonies).

Unknown to the general public, the John Rylands Library holds one of the largest collections of forbidden books outside of Miskatonic University and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

There are ancient ruins that lie hidden and undiscovered beneath the surface of the red planet. It is only a matter of time before someone stumbles upon one of them...

Miskatonic University was rebuilt after the terrible storm of 2014 that struck Arkham and the surrounding environs. A small portion of the artefacts and books in it’s famous library were lost – thought destroyed by storm damage to the building.

Boston is famous for it’s many colleges, and as a result the University is still a well-kept secret, lying on the northern edges of the city’s sprawling suburbs, in the quiet town of Arkham.

An excavation of a site on the third planet of the Omega Trianguli Australis star system, in the Trianguli Australis star cluster. The dig ended in disaster when there was a nuclear accident that killed most of the research team on the planet surface.

The nuclear explosion was in fact far from accidental. When a Star Spawn of Cthulhu was awakened at the dig site, a Military Sciences Division starship nuked the site from orbit.
