The Outer Gods

The Outer Gods are powerful entities that exist outside of Space and Time. They are infinitely powerful, and their influence on reality and existence is incomprehensible. Few on The Corporeal Plane are even aware they exist, and attempts to understand what they are or contact them is likely to result in madness. Even other Gods cannot grasp the magnitude and abstract nature of The Outer Gods, it is only known that they act as a balance to “That which is”, “That Which May Be”, and they manifest “All That Is Not, and Cannot Be”.

The Outer Plane and The Outer Gods have always existed, even as they have always not existed. The very nature of The Outer Plane is a concept foreign to mortal thought, as it does not follow any law of the forces of The Corporeal Plane or any other plane. The Outer Gods‘ power is apparently beyond even The Celestial Gods, (although they may themselves be a form of Outer Gods). The Outer Gods exist in a permanent dream which hallucinates mad seas of frightful creatures, sometimes piercing the veil of other planes to distribute new mutations into reality. The closest mortals can come to envisioning the nature of the Outer Gods is their creations. It is surmised that The Outer Gods are responsible for manifesting The Corporean Gods to exercise power over The Corporeal Plane when it was created by The Celestial Gods. They are also supposed to have created Mezzidath, or at least infused him with their own power, to represent their interests within The Cosmic Dragons. One of the few examples of mortal interaction with the The Outer Gods is Zarkutha, who was cast out from The Outer Plane when he associated with The Inner Gods, and became infatuated with perceiving other planes. It is he who was responsible (along with Gazzilda) for the creation of many of the creatures associated with The Outer Plane, such as Vrilithids(Subterraneans), Thulus (Squid People), and the God of Madness, Haztur(The King In Yellow).
The God Yokklu is the only other representative of The Outer Gods known to mortals, and is worshipped in secrecy by certain Uls of The Shadim in an elite group called The Shadow Circle. He is best envisioned as a sentient black hole, which represents the infinite void.
