Innsmouth Gold Ingot

Description

Innsmouth, home of the Esoteric Order of Dagon (which masqueraded as the local Masonic movement) had three oaths which members had to take. The first was an oath of secrecy, the second, an oath of loyalty, and the third, an oath to marry a Deep One and bear or sire its child.

In return they got many boons, including gold. These gold items would get cast into trade bullion and ingots to trade with others outside Innsmouth. This was a 19th century ingot they cast for a few years.

(Derleth described their meeting place as "a one-time Masonic hall" and it seemed fitting to use certain masonic elements in my "Innsmouth gold" ingot.
After all, they are trying to hide and mix into society and the square and compass seemed to fit, with the "G" replaced with a symbol of the cult...easily wrote off by others as a stylized eye of God.)
