Athugha

Overview

Filed under register ME-1933-W27/9522; cite `athugha` in all outbound correspondence.

No sober cartographer places Athugha on a map mortals may buy; nevertheless, deeds, drownings, and dreams cluster where the name is whispered.

Listed in some mythos encyclopedias as a flame-wreathed feminine Great Old One opposed to Cthugha.

Period attestation: post-lovecraft.

Cross-reference before fieldwork; cite slug in all reports; do not bring back souvenirs that pulse.

Description

Evidence is post-Derleth and chiefly gaming; primary literary appearances are sparse.

Sensory reports conflict in detail — scale, colour, limb count — yet agree that the phenomenon offends proportion.

Olfactory notes in depositions: salt, copper, wet stone, and organic sweetness like fruit fermenting in a closed room.

Historical Record

Invoked in rites where candles burn blue and wax forms screaming faces.

Post-1937 pastiche and game supplements multiplied references; the archive tags those layers expanded mythos unless a primary citation is supplied.

Cross-links at dossier foot should be treated as hypotheses, not as family trees carved in stone.

Field Observations

Do not engage alone; do not accept hospitality from hosts who show windows to other eras.

Submit Form Theta-9 if conversation turns to cities remembered only in sleep.

What sleeps is not dead; what is catalogued here may be doing neither.
