Description
The Order of the Bloated Woman is an ancient cult devoted to a dark goddess whom they believe is an aspect of a primal deity worshiped secretly in many forms all over the world: one of the avatars of Nyarlathotep. This organisation is unique to China, and its rituals are practiced both on the mainland and on some uninhabited islands, such as Gray Dragon island, which houses a shrine as well as a village in which its inhabitants wear the cult characters of the Bloated Woman on medallions, belts, and so forth. At one time, it was much feared throughout the coastal regions of China; the dread Fukien pirates were said at times to take instructions from the Order, which reputedly wielded powerful magic against its enemies. Authorities now doubt that the Order still exists, but, in truth, it has grown in the last few years. Only a fraction of their victims have been found.
