Azathoth (Cthulhu Mythos)

— H.P. Lovecraft

## Summary

**Azathoth** is the ultimate being of the Cthulhu Mythos and referred to as the Blind Idiot God, the Abyssal Idiot, or the Daemon Sultan. He rests at the center of existence and non-existence alike, dreaming, as an uncountable number of outer gods create eldritch tunes in the hopes of keeping the being asleep, as all things are simply dreams to Azathoth and were he to awake, all dreams would fade and all would be Azathoth once again.

**Note:**

Azathoth was stated to have been the creator of all beings of the Cthulhu Mythos by Lovecraft himself, as seen in this drawing where it states Azathoth birthed Yog-Sothoth, The Nameless Mist, and Darkness- Yog-Sothoth is the embodiment of existence and non-existence.

Past the bright clusters of dimensioned space,
Till neither time nor matter stretched before me,
But only Chaos, without form or place.
Here the vast Lord of All in darkness muttered
Things he had dreamed but could not understand,
While near him shapeless bat-things flopped and fluttered
In idiot vortices that ray-streams fanned.
They danced insanely to the high, thin whining
Of a cracked flute clutched in a monstrous paw,
Whence flow the aimless waves whose chance combining
Gives each frail cosmos its eternal law.
'I am His Messenger,' the daemon said,

As in contempt he struck his Master’s head.
