Lovecraftians

**The Lovecraftians** are a pantheon consisting of the Outer Gods, the Elder Gods, and the Great Old Ones. The origin of the Lovecraftians is largely unknown, but it is said that most of them originate from outside of Universe Prime. The Lovecraftians appear to be far different from normal individuals as they have their own system of worship; most Lovecraftians not apart of the three major pantheons worship the members of said pantheons as Gods.

## History

The Lovecraftians were the 3rd Pantheon to come into existence. The Daemon Sultan traveled across many universes

## Notable Members

The individuals listed below are a part of the current Lovecraftians.

### Eldritch of Undeath

These beings are considered the strongest of all Lovecraftians, having their own individual titles and being Primordial-level in strength. Their biggest distinction however, is that they can all freely traverse Empty Space. They are, from least to most powerful:

The Risen (Abhoth): One of the strongest Outer Gods, his true form holds such great power that masses of creatures seem to spawn from nothing.

The Beyond (Daoloth): One of the two Outer Gods to come from Yuggoth, most often go mad at the sight of Daoloth's shape. He grew to such great power that he dwells beyond the dimensions of normality.

The Anchor (Yog-Sothoth): A being who uses Acausality, preventing him from being seen in the past and future, and also making him nigh-invulnerable. Yog-Sothoth is the most loyal member of the Eldritch of Undeath.

The Faceless (Nyarlathotep): Being who is the strongest magic user barring the Daemon Sultan, and is the leader of all Lovecraftians, bar the Outer Gods. However, the Outer Gods have such trust in Nyarlathotep, that they obey him when the Daemon Sultan is not present. Possesses the Anti-Magica, a type of magic made to oppose magic itself.

The Darkness (Darkness): Darkness is the 3rd strongest Outer God and incredibly powerful with him being able to erase things instantly with his power and use of his force.

The Hidden (Mist): Mist is the 3rd strongest Outer God and is able to obscure and relocate things using the Nameless Mist.

The Destruction (Ptmak): The strongest form of Cxaxukluth, he is the strongest Outer God barring the Daemon Sultan.

The Void (Daemon Sultan): The strongest Outer God and the leader of the Eldritch of Undeath. Possesses a great many powers and is the strongest Primordial.

### Outer Gods

Originally called the Chosen, the Outer Gods are warriors from different universes handpicked by the Daemon Sultan himself. Each member was given one of his skills, all of them except for one reside in The Court; These members are:

* The Supreme Lord and Creator of All Things - The founder of the Lovecraftians and the Outer Gods. Leader of the Outer Gods and true leader from the shadows, of the Lovecraftians.
* Nyarlathotep - The greatest magic user in the Lovecraftians, gifted magic literacy and knowledge from the Daemon Sultan himself. Capable of changing his form as well as being aware of almost all mannerisms of existing civilizations to blend in perfectly, he is the Daemon Sultan's messenger and diplomat in times where he cannot be present. He was personally appointed by the Daemon Sultan to lead all Lovecraftians, but not the Outer Gods.
* Tru'Nembra - A sentient being that was made by the Daemon Sultan to obscure The Court from the Old Gods' eyes. Gifted the Nameless Mist from the Daemon Sultan.
* Yog-Sothoth - The second-in-command of The Court, possesses the greatest endurance of all Lovecraftians. Granted Acausality, which grants Yog-Sothoth extreme durability and endurance. Yog-Sothoth is the present strategist and tactician for the Lovecraftian armies. Since he cannot appear in precognitions due to Acausality, the methods of attack the Lovecraftians could theoretically use are not visible when given by Yog-Sothoth.
* Cxaxukluth - Possessing humongous amounts of power, Cxaxukluth has the ability to unleash massive amounts of energy stored within his body. Regarded by his peers as the most destructive of the Lovecraftians. His destructive power was said to have been gained from Yuggoth Fission. He is the strongest Lovecraftian in terms of physical strength.
* Shub-Niggurath - "Daughter" of the Daemon Sultan and leader of the Elder Gods. She is the leader of the Lovecraftian force stationed in the neighboring universe of Universe Prime. She was granted Enthalpy, the foil to Entropy and it's restorative version, giving her incredible survivability. The most gifted Lovecraftian in terms of raw intellect. She is the Lovecraftian's agent of deceit.
* Hastur - Leader of the independent group of Lovecraftians known as the Great Old Ones. He is considered the most nimble and dextrous of the Lovecraftians. He was granted the Unnamed Darkness. One of the leadership figures in the Lovecraftians, he often annoys his peers, but is considered the Lovecraftian's most capable spy and assassin. He is the tracker and spy for the Lovecraftians.
* Cthulhu - Second-in-command of the Great Old Ones. He not only possesses the greatest physical strength of all Lovecraftians, but also a great amount of precision as well. He was granted the Daemon Sultan's strength, precision, combat prowess, and The Abyss, the dark half of the Dream Realm. His immense strength and combat knowledge are said to allow him to even outmatch Yog-Sothoth and Nyarlathotep.
* Darkness - The personification of the Force that is the Unnamed Darkness. Darkness was born from the Unnamed Darkness just as Nexon was. Only Darkness and the Daemon Sultan can use the Unnamed Darkness to its full potential. As ordered by Hastur, he guards the Void, Carcosa, and obliterates those who try to enter.
* Mist - The personification of the Force that is the Nameless Mist. Mist was born from the Nameless Mist just as Nexon was. Unlike the rest of the Outer Gods, Darkness and Mist both use their real names, but since they had no names prior, this does not violate the sacred Lovecraftian rule. Only Mist and the Daemon Sultan can use the Nameless Mist to its full potential. As ordered by Tru'Nembra, he assists him in veiling The Court and obliterates those who try to enter.
* Abhoth - Being who has a humanoid form, but like the Daemon Sultan possesses a true form that is a writhing mass spawning creatures of the dead.
* Daoloth - One of the two beings worshipped on Yuggoth, Daoloth possesses a body of indescribable shape that allows him to turn his own body into different objects that can cut, disintegrate, or bludgeon his enemies. He possesses the strongest maddening presence of all Outer Gods.

### Elder Gods

Referred to as the Pain Lords by the Great Old Ones, the Elder Gods are the next strongest in the Lovecraftian hierarchy and are believed to reside in the system where the star Betelgeuse is located. Their precise location is said to be on the Sentient Planet, Ghroth. Known members are:

* Shub-Niggurath - Daughter of Daemon Sultan and leader of the Elder Gods.
* Kthanid - Second-in-command of the Elder Gods and also the leader of Heaven. He is believed to be the brother of Cthulhu. He is the single handed greatest combatant of the Lovecraftians with only his Tulzscha Cestuses.
* Ubbo-Sathla - The possessor of Elder Records, a set of archives that documents all the forbidden magical knowledge that the Elder Gods have learned.
* Ghroth - Sentient Planet that is a member of the Elder Gods while also serving as their residence.

### Great Old Ones

The Great Old Ones are a faction of Lovecraftians led by Hastur who act independently of the Outer Gods and reside on Universe Prime's Earth.

* Hastur - Leader of the Great Old Ones and wielder of Magnum Tenebrosum. Also referred to as the Unnamed Darkness.
* Cthulhu - Second-in-command of the Great Old Ones and Hastur's half brother as well as supposedly being Kthanid's older brother.
* Tsathoggua - Considered to be the true "Avatar of Sloth" by the Lovecraftians, Tsathoggua is sluggish and idle. Despite this, it is said that the "black goo" used to destroy Mount Olympus by the Great Old Ones in the 2nd Great Conflict was a form of Entropy only usable by Tsathoggua himself called the Formless Spawn. The Formless Spawn is different from regular Entropy, as it can coat weapons and make them Entropy-infused. Despite being lazy and idle, he is a huge asset to the Great Old Ones and undoubtedly one of their most prolific deities.
* Nyogtha - The being recruited at the bottom of the Abyss by Cthulhu. It is known as the Haunter of the Red Abyss. It contains the power to access the Dream Realm. It is also capable of sealing beings within the Dream Realm without putting them to sleep through its power, the Elixir of Tikkoun.

### Other Lovecraftian Deities

* Dagon - Leader of the Deep Ones referred to as "father" by them and referred to as the Great Deep One by the Outer Gods. While Dagon is not a Great Old One, Elder God, or an Outer God, he is a Lovecraftian deity.
* Mother Hydra - The consort of Dagon who assists in the rule of the Abyss and the Deep Ones.
* Nug and Yeb - Nug and Yeb are the identities of the split consciousnesses that are created when Cxaxukluth uses his Yuggoth Fission.

## Forms of Magic

All Lovecraftians are highly proficient in magic and use their own source of magic supplied directly from the Daemon Sultan himself. The Outer Gods are capable of using most, if not all Lovecraftian spells. There are a categorized set of magical spells depending on who in the Lovecraftians. These are:

* Lovecraftian Lexicons: The set of incantations granted to all Lovecraftians. Any Lovecraftian can use the Lexicons. Some Lexicons are:
	+ Genitus - Incantation that can charm and possess weak-willed individuals.
	+ Cacodaemonicum - Used for summoning evil spirits.
	+ Eldritch en Masse - Summons groups of Lovecraftian horrors to attack the opposer.
	+ Antiquarium - Halts aging on a physical beings body.
	+ Euclidia - Used to open Euclidian doors.
* Formless Spawn: Form of Entropy that can cover weapons that grants Entropy-like properties to objects covered in it. Only possessed by Tsathoggua
* Spawning Magics: Form of magics that summons Creatures of the Deep. Can also tap into the Abyss, the dark-half of the Realm of Dreams.
* Elder Signs: Runes usable only by the Great Old Ones and Elder Gods that are said to serve as barriers from harm and magic for the Great Old Ones and Elder Gods.
* Eldritch Runes: Runes used by those of the Deep and their leader, Cthulhu, these channel the nightmares of those who come into contact with them into reality.
* Elder Records: Tome created by Nyarlathotep for his protégé Ubbo-Sathla so that he would log the journies and spells of the Elder Gods.
* Kitaab Al-Azif: Imperfect reproduction of the Necronomicon by Nyarlathotep made in an attempt to simplify some parts of the Necronomicon and to allow accessibility to weaker Lovecraftian mages. Readable although only usable by Great Old Ones, Elder Gods, and Outer Gods.
* Dimensional Shifting: Powers that can be used by Lovecraftian flutes and well-versed Lovecraftian mages to travel between dimensions.
* **The Accursed Antediluvian Sources:** The strongest and most ancient forms of magic only usable by the Outer Gods in the Lovecraftian Pantheons.
	+ Magics of Matter: Referred to as the Entropy, Enthalpy, and Atrophy magics, these are usable by certain members of the Outer Gods. They have the power to do what no other magic can: To create and destroy matter itself. Entropy is possessed by all Outer Gods, Elder Gods, and Great Old Ones, Enthalpy is possessed by the Daemon Sultan and Shub-Niggurath, and Atrophy is possessed only by the Daemon Sultan.
	+ Magnum Tenebrosum: Referred to as the Unnamed Darkness, it is a magical force powered by the endless void of the many Universes that the Daemon Sultan has conquered. It erases things that are blanketed within it, such as erasing incoming bolts of magic. Only possessed by Hastur and the Daemon Sultan.
	+ Magnum Innominandum: Referred to as the Nameless Mist, it is a magical force powered by the endless void of the many Universes that the Daemon Sultan has conquered. It veils things that are blanketed within it's haze, such as making arrows invisible. Only possessed by Tru'Nembra and the Daemon Sultan.
	+ Anti-Magica: A direct opposing force to magic itself, it can counteract magic in any way. Even the strongest forms of magic, Alcyoneus Seal included, are counteracted by the Anti-Magica. Possessed only by Nyarlathotep and the Daemon Sultan.
	+ R'Lyehian Magic: The force of magic that has ties to the depths of the Abyss and R'Lyeh. The water from the magic is extremely high pressure, and if used to asphyxiate, is likely to crush a person's innards once inhaled. The ties to the Abyss grant the user projection, both unconscious and conscious, into the Realm of Dreams. Only possessed by Cthulhu and the Daemon Sultan.
	+ Yuggoth Fission: Force of magic that allows for recombination and splitting. The user can split themselves into two and also use combination and splitting of atoms to create extreme amounts of destruction as large as a universal scale and as small as an atomic scale. Also allows for manipulation of all atoms and particles like photons. Only possessed by Cxaxukluth and the Daemon Sultan.
	+ Necronomicon: While able to be read by those who can read Lovecraftian Lexicon, only Outer Gods can use the spells listed in its content. This book is Nyarlathotep's magnum opus, holding over 1,000,000 pages. All that magic knowledge that Nyarlathotep was taught and has learned and studied is written down in this book. Several ancient and forbidden magics exist including some of Nyarlathotep's signature spells such as the Mind Blast.
	+ The Book of Azathoth: Also known as the Black Book, it is the strongest tome in the Omniverse, it gave birth to the Lovecraftian lexicon, and was made by the Daemon Sultan and Nyarlathotep. The tome is so strong that it can even create seals, this was demonstrated when Nyarlathotep created the Psyche seal using this tome. It also contains the Forbidden Ones, the strongest Lovecraftian spells.
	+ Acausality: A form of power that breaks the restraints of cause and effect, rendering the user immune to principles such as time and laws of relevance. The user is immune to such things as being slowed down by time, increased and decreased gravity, changes in reality, and even fate itself cannot harm those with the power. The most dangerous aspect of Acausality is it's ability for users to never be present within precognitions. In other words, those with the power of Acausality cannot appear in visions of the future, only the past. Only possessed by Yog-Sothoth and the Daemon Sultan.
	+ Alcyoneus Seal: The second most powerful form of magic to ever exist. Omniversal-scale levels of destruction are possible with this seal's unbound powers. This was seen in the fight at the Chaos Islands between the Daemon Sultan and Chaos. While Alcyoneus III pales in power compared to Alcyoneus IV and Judgment Day, the wake of the Alcyoneus III's destruction was enough to leave several holes in reality, completely obliterate the Chaos Islands, and vaporize Chaos's body, forcing him to regenerate a new body from his soul to continue the fight. The Alcyoneus Seal when combined with the Concept Magic becomes unbound, allowing for use of The Whisperer in Darkness, a move so strong that the Omniverse quakes when it's used.
	+ Concept Seal: The strongest magic to ever exist. With it, the Daemon Sultan can alter concepts and the magic is so strong it is an opposing force to the Code, the most ancient force within the Omniverse. The Daemon Sultan's fundamental impossibility of an existence is further warped due to this seal.

## Lovecraftian Relics

A group of relics possessed by the Lovecraftians that only is in the possession of the Lovecraftians. These relics are typically soul-bound to the Lovecraftians and are only wielded by the most significant members of the Lovecraftians.

* Cane of the Yellow Sign - Hastur's trusted weapon. This cane is made of Blackwood and Carcosan steel. Both materials are combined with energies of the Unnamed Darkness. It functions as both a blunt weapon and a gun, firing bolts of Unnamed Darkness that erase anything it hits.
* Trench Splitter - One of Cthuhu's two weapons. A greatsword with a downswing that can create water-filled fissures in the ground, also capable of easily cleaving anything unfortunate in its path in two. It is also an unbelievably durable greatsword that is able to stand the immense water pressure in the City of the Deep, R'Lyeh.
* Tsunami - The other of Cthulhu's two weapons. A Greatbow that can shoot incredibly heavy headed arrows capable of causing tsunamis in the water from their impact. The impact of a hit from the Tsunami is said to be even greater than taking a shot from a Ballista head-on.
* Ame-no-Ohabari (Original) - The pride of the Naobi that has now fallen into the possession of the Lovecraftians. The Daemon Sultan wished to keep hold of the weapon as it's ability to grant mortals to harm Primordials makes it much more dangerous than Mech and Physicus's power shells. However, the Daemon Sultan has returned it to Izanagi-no-Okami upon his return.
* Spear of Destiny - One of the most powerful weapons in the Pantheon. It is said that the spear got its name from when those who saw it would meet an unfortunate demise not long after. The spear itself holds many powerful abilities such as rending reality, harming Primordials, and foresight. It's greatest ability is that it can strike directly at Primordial's psyche and souls. Stabs from the spear are so powerful they reverberate onto a Primordial's soul and psyche, heavily disorienting them.
* Event Horizon (Destroyed) - The scythe that the Daemon Sultan wields. It can obliterate planets and galaxies with its slices and is one of the most destructive weapons ever.
* Yoshitsune - Forged through the destruction of the Event Horizon and the enchantment of the Ohabari, this katana has several symbols engraved along the blade and hilt. These engravings contain all of the Lovecraftian's collective knowledge from the 7 Forbidden Sources to all of Nyarlathotep's tomes. The katana itself is the second most powerful Primordial Relic and is only wielded by the Daemon Sultan.
* Dark Cannon - Implanted within the Daemon Sultan's right arm is the Dark Cannon, a weapon that fires the Eidolon Shells which pierce through anything and everything.

## Lovecraftian Groups

Many different groups comprise the Lovecraftian pantheon. These are:

* Deep Ones: Fish-like Creatures that live in the Abyss or reside in the deep oceans around R'Lyeh. They have many aliases and live organized in cities around R'Lyeh. They are led and governed by the Great Deep One known as Dagon and his consort, Mother Hydra.
* R'Lyehians: The creatures that reside with in the City of the Deep, R'Lyeh. They are led and governed by Cthulhu along with the Deep Ones.
* Tulzscha: The creatures of the Green Flame that live in the trenches underwater.
* Ancient Ones: Humanoids that are said to only exist in the material realm and nowhere else.
* Crawling Ones: Infested creatures that possess the bodies of the dead. They are said to be corpses possessed by the Formless Spawn that is scattered throughout Universe Prime by Tsathoggua.
* Voormi: The beings that dwell deep in caves, worshipping the Lovecraftian Avatar of Sloth, Tsathoggua.
* Shoggoth: Beings that have the powers of shapeshifting and have a true form that is a blob composed of unknown material.
* Lovecraftian Acolytes: The lowest classification of Lovecraftian in the Pantheon. They are comprised mainly of beings who fell into Lovecraftian occultry. Unlike most of the Lovecraftians who pledge themselves to the Outer Gods, most Acolytes are loyal to the Pantheon itself and do not know of the Outer Gods.
* Lovecraftian Warriors: The second lowest classification of Lovecraftian in the Pantheon. They are comprised of beings that were acolytes, but had successfully pledged themselves to the Outer Gods.
* Lovecraftian Mage: Third lowest classification of Lovecraftian in the Pantheon. They are comprised of those who studied magics and fell under the Lovecraftian charms from the many tomes that Nyarlathotep has written.
* Lovecraftian Flute Wielders: The fourth lowest classification of Lovecraftian in the Pantheon. The flute wielders play enchanting spells through flutes of Dead Oak that enhance Lovecraftian powers in their presence.

## Documentations

* The Lovecraftian's have many different beliefs, their beliefs are very different from other beliefs:
	+ Mortals and New Gods believe Belphegor to be the Avatar of Sloth, but the Lovecraftian Avatar of Sloth is Tsathoggua.
	+ The Gods all Lovecraftians worship are the Outer Gods. There are very few, but they are so far ahead of the other Lovecraftians, that trillions of Lovecraftians can be fought off by 1 Outer God.
	+ The Great Old Ones act independently of the Daemon Sultan and exercise most of the Lovecraftian's control in Universe Prime.
	+ The Elder Gods act as the barrier between Universe Prime and the other Universes.
* The Daemon Sultan is largely physically absent except for when he roams around The Court or is on conquests throughout the Omniverse.
* Not any member of the Occult can pledge themselves to the Lovecraftians, their soul must be deemed fortuitous enough to join them. Those who are unable to use magic are instantly killed by the Lovecraftian pledge.
