Yog-Sothoth
Lurker at the Threshold
Yog-Sothoth is, along with Azathoth, one of the greatest of the Ancient Ones. In appearance, he is said to be a congeries of iridescent spheres--briliant, foaming bubbles that constantly expand and collapse in upon themselves. He has other manifestations, however, including the Lurker at the Threshold, a mass of black tentacles that endlessly writhe, reach, and grow, and a mysterious humanoid figure cloaked in shadow and ash.
Yog-Sothoth embodies all of space and time; he exists in all places and in all moments simultaneously. Paradoxically, however, he is unable to manifest in the mortal universe unless summoned, a magical act that almost always results in untold destruction. He is known as the Key and the Gate, and mages and cults research him in an effort to master time and space, though they almost always fail, as this power belongs only to those special few who have mastered Rainbow magic. Fortunately, his worship is not widespread, but some of those who have delved deep into his secrets describe him as an ambivalent figure, rather than a malevolent one, who guards cosmic secrets and makes them accessible to those who dare to ask for them. Yog-Sothoth reveals the true nature of the universe, but this is a thing that once seen cannot be unseen, and wise mortals turn aside from Yog-Sothoth's offer of cosmic knowledge in favor of a more mundane existence.
