Magnum Innominandum

The Nameless Mist is an Outer God. It is the progenitor of several other cosmic entities, including the Outer God Yog-Sothoth. It is older than everything, except for its creator Azathoth and its siblings, the Unnamed Darkness and Nyarlathotep .
Its powers include possible omnipresence, reality warping, acausality, spacetime manipulation, immortality, and incorporeality.
==Behind the Mythos==
The Magnum Innominandum idea came to Lovecraft during a Roman dream he recalled in three letters, one of those being incorporated in : "The Horror from the Hills" and one posthumously published as : "The Very Old Folk". It was also mentioned in : "The Whisperer in Darkness" alongside many mythos concepts such as Hastur, the Yellow Sign or Yog-Sothoth. It also is part of an incarnation from De Vermis Mysteriis penned by Lovecraft for : "The Shambler from the Stars" by Robert Bloch.
Lovecraft also mentioned the "Not-to-be-Named One" in : "The Mound" as husband of Shub-Niggurath (this has led to the theory that the Magnum Innominandum and the Nameless Mist are two separate entities, and the Magnum Innominandum is Yog-Sothoth). He also introduced "Him Who is Not to Be Named" along with other names such as Shub-Niggurath or Nyarlathothep (though Yog-Sothoth is not named in the invocation).
Lovecraft mentioned the Nameless Mist in a family tree of Azathoth. (: Selected Letters of H. P. Lovecraft 4.617) The Nameless Mist was given the name "Nyog'Sothep" and "N'yog-Sothep" by later authors.
The Magnum Innominandum and The Nameless Mist were unified as the same entity later by other writers, notably by Lin Carter and by the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game.
