Ghroth — an Outer God or court power; direct contemplation listed as an occupational hazard. Register ME-1919-M67/3641.
Overview
Miskatonic seal ME-1919-M67/3641 binds this packet; duplicate citations must use slug `ghroth`.
To pronounce Ghroth is not worship; it is navigation error — the mind turns toward a pole that has no north.
A crimson moon or planet-sized eye that drifts space and annihilates worlds by passing near them.
Period attestation: post-lovecraft.
The Library holds primary text; this dossier holds orientation — never the reverse.
Description
Popularized in British small-press mythos; treated as Azathoth's destroyer or rival in some tables.
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
Astronomers who glimpse Ghroth report impossible spectra and shared nightmares of burning skies.
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.
If the name appears in dreams three nights running, withdraw from the case and request audit.
Archive Notes
Cite archive slug `ghroth` in all cross-references. If the name appears in dreams three nights running, withdraw from the case and request audit.
