"Coeval with Nights and Chaos" is a short Cthulhu Mythos story by Charlie Walls. It first appeared in the Rogue Planet Press anthology Swords Against Cthulhu II: Hyperborean Nights in January 2017.
==Synopsis==
When the High Priest of Yhoundeh, Morg, arrives to take Eibon the sorcerer into custody, the two vanish through a mystical portal to places unknown. In the aftermath, his three servants, led by a woman named Raine, must suffer a trio of thuggish guards who occupy the tower, awaiting their return.
As the township slowly becomes aware of a terrible event known as the Reaping occurring in the Temple of Yhoundeh, Raine overhears the guards planning to murder her and the junior servants before looting Eibon's tower and absconding with the spoils. Raine swiftly poisons the guards, having one of the other servants dump their bodies in the mass grave which the Temple of Yhoundeh has become as a result of the Reaping, thus avoiding the wrath of the Inquisition and carrying out their duties in anticipation of their master's return.
