The Black Gate

==Location==
The Black Gate is in the Astral Plane, interposed over the sun. Ordinarily, it’s too far away to make out clearlyfrom Earth while Astrally projecting.
==Appearance==
The Black Gate is an entity of immensity and horror unlike most others. It is easily the largest of all otherHorrors, taking up the entire size of the sun. It appears as black hole, with an eye in the center and a number oftentacles (thin as eyelashes to scale, but in reality they would be large enough to punch a hole in the earth)encircling it and squeezing out from the edges of the hole.
==Lair==
An alternate universe, from which all or most of the Horrors are said to originate.
==History==
It was probably in pre-recorded history that the first shaman took a drag from his mind altering concoction ofchoice and stepped into the Astral Plane, then looked up to see the horrific eye of the Gate staring back at him.The first recorded instance of this was, of course, Atlantis, and the eye of the Gate was in the Physical Plane onthe day of the final great battle that sunk Atlantis. Many have studied this eye in the sun which only appears whenone stares carefully into the sun while astrally traveling, but there is not much known about it. Those who havespent any amount of time pondering it have gone mad, and those who have traveled into the Akasha and learnedthe truth have killed themselves immediately upon returning to the physical plane.
==Modus Operandi==
The Black Gate does nothing except silently watch our planet throughout all the ages of history. No one knowswhat it will do on the final day, although its name has come up in study of the other Horrors, specifically the OldGods. The Gate is supposedly the passageway through which these powerful horrors will summon the destructionof the planet. It has been suggested that the Black Gate is actually the instrument that will be used to bring aboutthis destruction. It is said that he will burst through the sun, destroying it, and then make his way to earth. Whenthe creature gets here, it will devour the planet, and the Old Gods will then reshape the world in their image.
==Avatar==
Unlike most powerful horrors that don’t necessarily require humanity’s intervention to free them, The Black Gatedoes keep an Avatar. The Avatar of the Gate is a man, ordinary in almost all respects, except that he has a living,biological eye in one of his hands. He ordinarily keeps this hand concealed under a glove. The man has hisdealings in the world, and does his best to push events that happen in the direction of the Apocalypse. When theBlack Gate wants to interact with the world, the man removes his glove and holds the eye up to his face, lookingoutward. The Black Gate then possesses him and uses him to interact with the world.
==Servants==
The other Horrors are, terrifyingly enough, the servants of the Black Gate. He is essentially the God of the gods.
==Power==
The Black Gate is omnipotent and omniscient.
==Summonation==
Only Ktu’un may summon the Black Gate.
==Offering==
None
==Gifts==
None
==Cults==
There are a few great and powerful cults dedicated to the Black Gate. They all bear the mark of a circle with atriangle inside of it with an eye inside that triangle. The cult’s main purpose is to make sure the events of theworld go in the direction of the apocalypse. The Avatar of the Black Gate will pop in from time to time and givethem orders.
