* The world is named after the collective term for the various beings that reside on Earth or the system it is located in, known as the Great Old Ones. | |||
** Only {{Transient icon|Tsathoggua}}, {{Transient icon|Dagon}}, and {{Transient icon|Cthugha}} are considered Great Old Ones in the mythos. | |||
*** {{Transient icon|Azathoth}}, {{Transient icon|Nyarlathotep}}, and {{Transient icon|Yog-Sothoth}} are in the group called Outer Gods as they reside beyond the Earth's system. | |||
*** {{Transient icon|Nodens}} is an Elder God, benevolent beings that created the Outer Gods and trapped the Great Old Ones. | |||
* Though the world is based on the mythos revolving around H.P. Lovecraft's creations; it is composed of multiple authors that incorporate their stories into the said mythos. | |||
** Created by H.P. Lovecraft: | |||
*** {{Transient icon|Azathoth}} is described as a sentient black hole at the center of the universe where he kept asleep by the sound of flutes. Depending on the source, Azathoth initially spawned three beings; Nyarlathotep, the Nameless Mist, and the Darkness. | |||
*** {{Transient icon|Nyarlathotep}}, the spawn of Azathoth, acts as a messenger for his masters though he spreads madness far more proficiently than death as most of his kin do. | |||
*** {{Transient icon|Yog-Sothoth}}, the spawn of the Nameless Mist, is known as the gatekeeper. | |||
*** {{Transient icon|Dagon}} is a great deity worshipped by fish-like humanoids known as the Deep Ones. | |||
*** {{Transient icon|Nodens}} is described as a benevolent and powerful entity, master of the night-gaunts, and one of the beings that oppose Nyarlathotep. | |||
** The author August Derleth created {{Transient icon|Cthugha}}, a giant mass of living flame that lives in the star [[Wikipedia:formalhaut|Formalhaut]]. | |||
** {{Transient icon|Tsathoggua}} was created by H.P. Lovecraft in name but it was the author Clark Ashton Smith that gave it flesh; an incredible lazy being that lives in Saturn. | |||
** {{Transient icon|Tindalos}}, named Hounds of Tindalos, were created by the author Frank Belknap Long and were properly codified into the Cthulhu mythos by August Derleth; described as beings of unimaginable form that lurk in the angles of time, hunting those that dare try to trespass it. | |||
* {{Transient icon|Dagon}} originated from a deity in [[Canaan]] of the same name. | |||
* {{Transient icon|Nodens}} has connections to the world [[Tír na nÓg]]. | |||
