Eldritch Horror is being a barnacle living on a turtle shell and suddenly having all the water disappear and then days later a pale god uses a screwdriver to crush you inside your own body and peel your bones off your host. And there's no vengeance or punishment. You just die. And those pale gods don't notice, or care.

Perhaps the highest peak in cosmic horror is a creature bigger than you can comprehend, apathetic to your struggles, smiting you because they care about something beyond you and want you gone. It is only topped by the fact that the cosmos at larger, no matter how badly you've been injured, simply doesn't care. At all.

How long have we been on this rock? Five weeks? Two days? Where are we? Help me to recollect.

Lighthouses are an underrated form of wizard tower. A grey-bearded old man spends all of his time tending to a light that must never go out, for if it does it will bring disaster? What else could that be?

If I whispered my whole name — the one I was made with, real quiet like, right in y'all's ear... well, I think you might just burst into a whole plague of locusts right there on the spot, or else you might swallow your own heart and chew out your kidneys because you can't pronounce it, and it wouldn't never get out your head no how.

“Despite the treatment, I again hear voices in my dreams. But they are different, unknown. They seem to surface from unfathomable and ancient depths. What nameless creature is calling me?”-20 October 1924
