A
man with many identities works for all of the various conspiracies
and secret societies (and a few monsters) in Los Angeles. As a result
of his work, he can find Symbionia, Thule, Shangri-La, and the
entrance to the Hollow Earth on a map. The Elder Gods are mentioned,
and our nameless hero mentions rumors of a Gill-Man in Reseda, though
it turned out to be a mechanic with a skin condition. Thule
is a region in the far north in European folklore. Shangri-La is from
James Hilton’s novel Lost
Horizon.
The Hollow Earth theory has been adapted in a number of works of
fiction, including Edgar Rice Burroughs’ series set at the Earth’s
core. The Elder Gods were created by August Derleth as part of
Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos, and are inimical to the Great Old Ones.
This false Gill-Man is pretending to be a member of the species seen
in the film Creature
from the Black Lagoon and
its sequels.
