The Dunwich Mystery

From LSWiki

Standard Information

"Nor is it to be thought (ran the text as Armitage mentally translated it) that men and their ilk are either the oldest or the last of this world's masters, or that the common bulk of life and substance walks alone. The Old Ones were, the Old Ones are, and the Old Ones shall be." Help an old scholar stop the rising of ancient horrors.

   This quest was created by Flux.

What you're looking for is a unique item which spawns on the ground in R'lyeh, though it often gets picked up by a random inhabitant.

It's a book called the Whateley Journal that you then give to Professor Armitage, though for most people it's unidentified and instead shows as a leather-bound parchment book.
