Parchments of Pnom

The Parchments of Pnom were created by Clark Ashton Smith for his Hyperborean Cycle series of weird fantasy stories, and have also been incorporated into the Cthulhu Mythos.
==Description==
As their name may suggest, the Parchments of Pnom were written by a man named Pnom, who was a renowned prophet and the chief genealogist of ancient Hyperborea. 
The Parchments contain, at least in part, genealogical charts of the Great Old Ones and Outer Gods.
==Behind the Mythos==
Clark Ashton Smith used the Parchments of Pnom as a means to more definitively integrate his own pantheon of gods with that created by H. P. Lovecraft. This was achieved through the use of family trees in which Smith's gods were shown to be related to, and in many cases the mates of, Lovecraft's creations.
==Trivia==
*The sorcerer Evagh was seen to be unsuccessfully consulting the Parchments of Pnom in "The Coming of the White Worm", possibly in an effort to identify the nature of the threat posed by Rlim Shaikorth.
