From a fragmentary transcription of the sixth
Latin edition of the Chthonic Chronicles, believed
lost during the great fire of London in 1666:
"O', great and luminous ones, who came from
beyond the stars to slumber serene beneath the
earth of the third sphere, hearken to me! Hear me,
o' mighty one, o' great Khthon! Awaken and hear my
adulation, o' divine and glorious God of gods!
From thy hoary tomb thou shalt ascend, and the
earth shall be enraptured by thy majesty!"

"Khthon! To the ancient Lemurians, you
assumed the guise of a beautiful azure-skinned
woman with great black wings, to the Atlanteans,
you manifested as a brilliant fiery sphere of
searing radiant energy, to the peoples of Ultima
Thule and Hyperborea, you took the form of a
titanic crystalline dragon. Yet your true form is
beyond the ken of men, darker than the blackest
heart of deepest night, more terrifying than the
very essence of fear itself... thou art terror
incarnate! From the timeless void you came, son of
Z'xulth! Glory to
They-Who-Lurk-And-Breed-In-Limbo!"

Excerpts from translator's cautionary notation:
"Behold these repositories of fearful arcane
knowledge, tomes of aeons-old cursed lore which
was surely ancient even when the ill-fortuned
antedeluvian civilizations which initially
articulated it first committed such dread lexicons
of terror to shuddering memory! Fear these
legendary encyclopaedia antedeluvia, these ebon
necronomica of shunned rites and diabolical
adulations! The Tome of Shadows, the Forbidden
Books of the First Cataclysm, the Epsilon
Exordium, the Scrolls of the Third Circle, the
Oracle of Antediluvian Blasphemies, the
Diabolist's Lexicon, the Arcana Atra Libri, the

Books of the Z'xulth, the Praxeum Codex, the
Chthonic Chronicles! I now know that there is
something inestimably evil at large throughout the
cosmos. It is a ravenous and pitiless storm which
rages across the universe, permeating the very
fabric of creation, existing simultaneously in all
dimensions, wholly unconstrained by linear time.
This force is the black, quasi-sentient mana which
sustains such ageless revenants of the Z'xulth as
the dread Dwellers in Eternal Shadow and the
unspeakable They-Who-Lurk-And-Breed-In-Limbo. When
beings whose essences are intrinsically malefic
choose to embrace this darksome energy source, the
resultant sinister symbiosis can be sublimely
diabolical, as evidenced by the black blight that
was the infamous pseudo-human sorcerer Lord
Angsaar! And of course, the malign Zurra, that
abominable result of an experiment by the Ersatz
Ones gone disastrously wrong; an ill advised
attempt to clone the K'laa genetic template of
mighty Zuranthus in the Mera spawning vats beneath
the Pre-Cambrian sea, only for the matrix to
become contaminated by the errant cells of a
captured fiend of Z'xulth! The result was a prime
fiend whose capacity for evil and wanton
annihilation was exceeded only by a penchant for
self-agrandizement and his rampant psychological
instability. In many cases, the potential for
ruination and domination that such entities may
aspire to is constrained only by their own
physical and psychological limitations, as the
toll which the dark mana takes upon the host's
mind and flesh is not insignificant..."
