H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

You are the stones that Merry and Pippin thew into the Sirannon that were minding their business, not a soul in sight, and then splash you're at the bottom of a river that got dammed up. Never to be seen again, nobody caring about you at all.

One day everything you knew and we're got completely upended by something that didn't give you a second thought, and now you're just supposed to deal with it.
