Xexanoth

Overview

Miskatonic seal ME-1926-D98/1196 binds this packet; duplicate citations must use slug `xexanoth`.

The court of Xexanoth is discussed in Dreamlands testimony and denied in waking geology; both responses may be correct on different floors of reality.

God of reversal and entropy in Lin Carter's mythos; enemy of temporal powers such as Yog-Sothoth.

Period attestation: post-lovecraft.

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

Description

Invoked where cause and effect invert; victims age backward or remember futures never lived.

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

Rare in Lovecraft's lifetime; expanded fiction places Xexanoth as a shadow at time's edge.

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.
