The Door to Saturn

"The Door to Saturn" is a short story by Clark Ashton Smith which forms part of his Hyperborean cycle. It was first published in Strange Tales of Mystery and Terror in January 1932. 
==Synopsis==
When the sorcerer Eibon is declared a heretic by Morghi, the High Priest of Yhoundeh, he uses a magical artefact gifted to him by Zhothaqquah to flee to Cykranosh (the planet Saturn in modern parlance). However, Morghi follows him through the portal and, trapped together, the two form an uneasy truce.
As Eibon and Morghi explore Cykranosh, they encounter many strange creatures and realise that there is no way for them to ever return home. In light of this knowledge, they establish themselves as priests to a tribe of humanoid creatures known as the Ydheems, and attempt to enjoy the remainder of their lives as best they are able.
