Arkham

"Arkham, a fine port city indeed. If one can look past the soot-covered houses, lowdown dregs and unsavory mariners that thankfully remain on the northern side of the Miskatonic River."

Overview
Arkham is a port city situated in the Miskatonic County, Massachusetts. It is neighbored by Boston, Innsmouth and Kingsport. It is the home of the acclaimed Miskatonic University as well other institutions such as the infamous Arkham State Sanitarium, the Federal Naval College and the Arkham Historical Society. Arkham even has a main newspaper, the Arkham Advertiser, which has a circulation that reaches as far as Dunwich.

Arkham's other characteristics are its gambrel roofs and the dark legends that have surrounded the city for centuries. The disappearance of children at May Eve and other "bad doings" are accepted as a part of life for the poorer citizens of the city.
