Nyarlathotep case

In 1946 this small wooden box containing items dedicated to the god Nyarlathotep was found by archeologists excivating a ruined 18th century church in Altamira, Costa Rica. Forwarded to Miskastonic, it proved to be of no great age, perhaps dating from the 1920's at most. The letter is a handwritten prayer to the old ones in Latin from perhaps the turn of the century. Also inside were a key to the gate of a local family crypt, a bottle containing a halucinogenic compound, candles, an amulet of protection, and most interestingly, a representation of Nyarlathotep modified from a small plaster St Mary statue.

As there are no recorded instances of Old God worship in the region, the box and its origin remains a mystery.
