A former mining town on Mt. Hoosac, a few hundred miles to the west of Arkham. Ruled over by Wallace Larson.

## Description[]

A map of Addison.

"There’s a place, on this Earth, where light doesn’t touch. It’s a place of unfathomable depth. Where the crashing waves and churning, nightmarish storms are but memories. Darkness so black, so all consuming, that light can be… only dreamt of. Only hoped for. This place exists, friend." —Mr. Irvine[1]

Mt. Hoosac itself looks "like it's cut from another world."[1]

Addison is very small, a dozen or maybe two dozen buildings at most. Most of the town is rotted, old, and derelict. There is one road in and out, which is impossible to navigate on foot in the winter.

## History[]

#### Pre-Ancient/Ancient Times[]

At some point there was mass death in the mountain, and since that time the mountain has housed the graves of the countless dead. Their bodies are one with the mountain, like mortar within the walls of those mines, binding the columns between the tunnels.

#### Medieval Times[]

A group, likely The Three Soldiers or someone associated with them, built tunnels and rooms in the mountain long before the Larson clan. They sought The Blackstone.[2]

#### 1873[]

‘Claim of Coal Mine by Larson Births Mining Town. Droves of miners have sought work in and around the base of Mt. Hoosac, as locals des… [...] As local supply lines sprout up in the promise of new businesses…’[1]

#### 1916-1934[]

‘The Caves Run Dry in Addison. Larson Mining Company, a once-profitable investment to many a local, has closed its mine in Addison this year. Speculation around the event is high as Larson is famously reclusive in his estate high atop Mt. Hoosac.’[1]

Sometime after 1916, a nearby college created an observatory on the mountain.
