K'n-yan

Overview

Expedition register ME-1924-H75/8850 — cross-index under slug `k-n-yan`.

Survivors of K'n-yan disagree on weather, century, and compass bearing — agreement on dread is nearly unanimous.

Blue-lit cavern realm beneath Oklahoma, last refuge of a materialist civilization that traded souls for pleasure.

Period attestation: lovecraft-1930s.

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

Description

Entered via shaft near Binger; natives sealed the way after refugees from Yoth brought slave races and decadence.

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

Chronicle in 'The Mound' describes flying machines, undying citizens, and revolt of the red-litten corridor.

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.
