Beings of Ib

Beings of Ib, also known as Thuum'ha, were a species of amphibian creatures that lived in a city called Ib in the land of Mnar. Thuum'ha is a name given them by the people of Sarnath, and which means no more than 'the Voiceless'. 
It is very little known about the beings of Ib and one of the reasons for this is that they were very old as a species and pre-dated humans. They were described as having "bulging eyes, pouting, flabby lips, and curious ears, and were without voice". In addition, these creatures were known to have a thin, greenish skin. They share numerous physical characteristics with Deep Ones, though relation between two races is unclear. 
They were known to worship Bokrug, the great water-lizard, and dance in front of a stone idol of this being when the moon was gibbous. 
== History ==
Aeons ago, the beings of Ib, rumoured to have descended from the Dark Tapestry, built the city of Ib from grey stone in the land of Mnar in the Dreamlands, on the shores of a deep lake to and from which no waterway flowed. They lived in Ib for ages until being slaughtered by the humans from the city of Sarnath, who were disturbed by their strange appearances and frightening deity. One thousand years later, the Ib shades rose from the lake, descended upon and brought doom to Sarnath, exterminated its inhabitants, and wiped the metropolis from existence.
