Description The ancient city of Y'ha-nethlei is the current capital city of the Deep Ones and home of Dagon. Founded approximately 250,000 years ago, it is a roughly circular city constructed primarily of mafic and basalt by early-human hybrids. It is centered around the largest of a series of ancient structures that stretch down the coastline. These are of Star Spawn origin and like the city of R'lyeh itself they warp space around themselves. This pocket of warped space makes the city nearly impossible to physically find. However most Deep Ones can hear a faint call towards the city from as far away as Ahu-Y'hloa, across the ocean to the north-east.

Note: 
Mafic is a dense iron and magnesium rich stone and makes up a lot of the oceanic crust.

Also, the Deep Ones are making a terrible mistake by living on top of a Star Spawn psionic amplifier. Way to lowkey brainwash most of your population for a quarter of a million years guys.

Is that Dagon in the background or some other sea beastie?

Dagon is not visible in the picture, he's hanging out inside the Psi-amp. If you haven't seen it yet there's a piece in my gallery called "Deepest Lords". That's where you can find my version of him.

I don't know specifically which one you thought was Dagon but here's what each of the closer entities are.
The huge white creature above my signature is a Ningen.
The serpentine creatures on the top right are Martin's Beach Horrors.
The sperm whale deep one on the top left is Coinchenn.

Everything else is just a fishy doodle!

i love the fringehead mouth on that deep one, looks like it is mad from the psionic amplifier.


i wonder... if a star spawn psychic tech brainwashes any victim, are the victims still aware of what is going on?, i bet not even amounts of willpower will help you break from these effects.

They still have (mostly) free will and stuff, the psi-amp just hooks them into the Star Spawn dreamspace. Getting regular visions of the vast power and irrepressible freedom of the Starspawn has inspired their worship, even if it is out of context. It also has an addictive effect as it stimulates the brain in a lot of novel ways.

It's also worth noting that it isn't intentional. The psi-amps where never meant to used like this but when they sank the water diffused their signal. It's basically psionic pollution.

Nice, this looks a lot like how H.P. described hybrid citizens of innsmouth. Euclidean geometry and all with the location makes sense, very well-done work!

I never really liked star spawn psionics myself. 
XD had to word correct, improper grammar.
