Mysterious disappearances in the area brought the cult under public scrutiny.
The church held an extensive library of occult literature.Īlthough the cult was publicly denounced by the other local churches, it nonetheless grew to have a membership of around 200 members. The cult used a sacred relic known as the Shining Trapezohedron to summon the Haunter of the Dark, who demanded outrageous sacrifices in return for limitless knowledge of the universe. The cult was founded in Providence, Rhode Island circa 1844 by Professor Enoch Bowen, a renowned archeologist and occultist. The Church of Starry Wisdom, or Starry Wisdom Cult, is a cult that worships Nyarlathotep. Eventually, after the bloody extermination of the serpent people at the hands of the advancing pre-human hordes of Lomar, the device found its way into the possession of the primitive men of Lemuria, Atlantis and in later cycles the Pharaoh Nephren Ka of Egypt. After the passing of the Old Ones, during the final stages of the lower Triassic period, the trapezohedron was salvaged from the ruins of their cyclopean cities by the serpent people of Valusia. It was created on dark Yuggoth and brought to Earth by the Old Ones, where it was placed in its box aeons before the first human beings appeared. Described as a "crazily angled stone", it is unlikely to be a true trapezohedron because of the Old Ones' penchant for bizarre non-Euclidean angles. The Shining Trapezohedron is a window on all space and time. Summoned from the black gulfs of chaos, this being could show other worlds, other galaxies, and the secrets of arcane and paradoxical knowledge but he demanded monstrous sacrifices, hinted at by disfigured skeletons that were later found in the church. Members of the Church of Starry Wisdom would awaken the Haunter of the Dark, an avatar of Nyarlathotep, by gazing into the glowing crystal. The Shining Trapezohedron was discovered in Egyptian ruins, in a box of alien construction, by Professor Enoch Bowen before he returned to Providence, Rhode Island in 1844.
An artifact used by the Cult of the Starry Wisdom to summon a terrible being from the depths of time and space.
