Elemental Theory

Overview

Expedition register ME-1924-Z91/5932 — cross-index under slug `elemental-theory`.

We would delete Elemental Theory if deletion worked; instead we classify, cross-link, and warn.

Derleth's scheme pairing gods with fire, water, air, earth.

Period attestation: derleth-era.

If the name appears in dreams three nights running, withdraw from the case and request audit.

Description

Useful for RPGs; Lovecraft did not systematize this way.

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

Archive tags Derleth-derived sentences in mixed dossiers.

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.
