The Legacy of Cthulhu

Overview

Filed under register ME-1928-H64/1987; cite `the-legacy-of-cthulhu` in all outbound correspondence.

In the marginalia of the Latin Necronomicon the name The Legacy of Cthulhu appears beside tides, eclipses, or breeding cycles we cannot reproduce in laboratory glass.

No sober cartographer places The Legacy of Cthulhu on a map mortals may buy; nevertheless, deeds, drownings, and dreams cluster where the name is whispered.

The Necronomicon is quoted too often as gossip; when a dossier cites Alhazred, demand the edition and the translator. Our English paraphrases deliberately blunt the lines that injure readers who memorise instead of understand.

What sleeps is not dead; what is catalogued here may be doing neither.
