Lloigor
Invisible Lords of the Plateau
Invisible masters of the Plateau of Sung — energy-beings who drove the Mu civilization and later hungered in Cornwall through Colin Wilson's mythos expansion.
Overview
Lloigor began as Wilson's answer to empty air that still kills — invisible lords who ruled Mu and slept under Cornwall until architects and cultists woke them. They are not Lovecraft; they are 1969's fusion of Le Carré landscape and mythos name-dropping. Yet they spread, because invisibility is cheap terror and Mu never goes out of style.
The Expedition files them under species because they breed servitors and move in packs, though 'biology' is electromagnetic heresy.
Description
Witnesses see distortions — heat shimmer, furniture sliding, throats crushed by nothing. Some accounts give them wings in another dimension; others pure hunger. Voonith and related servants appear when Lloigor tire of subtlety.
Sound: wind without weather. Aftermath: salt and crushed bone.
Historical Record
Wilson's novel tied Lloigor to Tarot and conspiracy; RPGs reduced them to stat blocks. Mu's geology remains fiction; Cornwall's tin mines remain real. Do not confuse the two in grant proposals.
