Yohk the Necromancer

Yohk the Necromancer is a sorcerer from Vornai. He is a character of a 1975 short story by Gary Myers, which is a part of "The House of the Worm" collection.
Yohk had travelled far and wide, meeting with the King in Yellow in Carcosa, and heard the fluting tunes of Bokrug in the ruins of Sarnath. He studied black magic in the Plateau of Leng, gazed with his soul into the Vale of Pnath, and approached the great city of Kadath. This gave him experience in magic that one quite possibly shouldn't. His aim was to find a key to freeing the Great Old Ones to receive untold wealth beyond avarice. But since such a spell never existed in the world, he sought to look "behind" it. He approached the House of the Worm and entered, performing a ritual that he believed failed.
