Outer God
Outer God — a recurring phenomenon; understanding does not restore sanity. Register ME-1929-Y23/5973.
Overview
Expedition register ME-1929-Y23/5973 — cross-index under slug `outer-god`.
Outer God enters the archive under protest from reason and with sponsorship from repeated evidence.
Entities of interstellar or interdimensional scope—Azathoth, Yog-Sothoth, Nyarlathotep.
Period attestation: lovecraft-1930s.
Cross-reference before fieldwork; cite slug in all reports; do not bring back souvenirs that pulse.
Description
Not all appear hostile; all dwarf human moral categories.
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
Taxonomy is Derlethian; use with author tags in papers.
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.
Archive Notes
Cite archive slug `outer-god` in all cross-references. What sleeps is not dead; what is catalogued here may be doing neither.
