Elder Sign

The Elder Sign (also Sarnath Sigil, Sign of Kish, Star Stone of Mnar) is a magical symbol of the Elder Gods. It is usually drawn as a pentagram with an eye in the center, with a pillar of flame where the pupil should be. Some credit the invention of the Sign to N'tse-Kaambl.
The Elder Sign protects its user from the minions of the Great Old Ones. Why this glyph has these effects can only be conjectured. As the Elder Gods thrust the Great Old Ones into their prisons, they might have inserted memory patterns into their foes' minds that rendered the Great Old Ones helpless against certain syllables and sigils, of which the Elder Sign was one.
