The Great Old Ones walked within the Outer | |Darkness and came to our Realms when they were newly formed. Vast | |and alien, the Great Old Ones are beyond our comprehension, for | |they do not proceed in any rational fashion even to the other | |Powers. | | | |It is not even known to me whether any of the Elder Gods still | |abide within our Realms, but the persistence of their followers | |seems to indicate that they do perhaps exist yet. Some believe | |that the followers of the Great Old Ones are insane, or merely | |seek an avenue out of the Jihad. Others believe that their madness| |is caused by touching the Great Old Ones and becoming pawns in | |their alien designs. Or, perhaps, it is as I believe, that the | |Great Old Ones linger in a deathless sleep and touch the mind of | |mortal beings who stray too near their hidden lairs in the thin | |areas of the Dreaming. | | | |To follow the Great Old Ones is to surrender to madness. There is | |no law, there is no order, there is no good, there is no evil, | |there is only the vast all consuming madness of a design of such | |unfathomable intent as to make even the other Powers tremble in | |fear of the unknown. | | | | | | | | To this Writ I set my Hand, | | Jarrod Melshimber, Servant of Truth,| | Witness of the Ages, and | | Seer of Kyldiss. | |___________________________________________________________________| |
