The Yog-Sothoth Cycle
The Yog-Sothoth Cycle — an Outer God or court power; direct contemplation listed as an occupational hazard. Register ME-1933-O80/5048.
Overview
Filed under register ME-1933-O80/5048; cite `the-yog-sothoth-cycle` in all outbound correspondence.
The court of The Yog-Sothoth Cycle is discussed in Dreamlands testimony and denied in waking geology; both responses may be correct on different floors of reality.
To pronounce The Yog-Sothoth Cycle is not worship; it is navigation error — the mind turns toward a pole that has no north.
Lovecraft's own prose — when he is the witness — should be read in the /library before this summary is trusted. Posthumous expansion (Derleth, Smith, Campbell, Wilson, and the game industry) enlarged the name without enlarging the proof; we mark those layers explicitly so students do not cite a 1981 module as 1928 fact.
The Library holds primary text; this dossier holds orientation — never the reverse.
Description
Scale estimates in the files range from human to architectural, which usually means the observer was not the unit of measure.
Several accounts mention a pressure change before sighting, as though the air admitted something larger than the room.

Historical Record
Earliest stack mention is a photocopy of a photocopy of Latin marginalia — chain of custody unsuitable for court, sufficient for caution.
European parallels appear in Smith and Howard overlaps; do not merge pantheons without reading both authors in full.
Game manuals and wiki pages from 1980 onward treat the name as franchise furniture; date your citations or fail the course.
Field Observations
If dreams arrive with the weight of memory for places never visited, terminate contact.
Burn nothing found pulsing; catalogue first, then burn if protocol allows.
Cross-reference before fieldwork; cite slug in all reports; do not bring back souvenirs that pulse.
Archive Notes
Protocol slug `the-yog-sothoth-cycle`. The Library holds primary text; this dossier holds orientation — never the reverse.
