Somewhere in the unfathomable depths of the Pacific Ocean lies the enigmatic and foreboding city of R’lyeh, a vast sunken metropolis that transcends the bounds of human understanding. Those who have had the misfortune to dream of the city describe its towering, cyclopean structures, designed to accommodate looming creatures far larger than humans. Its strange angles conforming to non-Euclidean geometry, R’lyeh easily defies the conventional principles of earthly cities, existing as an alien outpost in a watery abyss.
Hidden within desolation, shrouded in death and decay, the Vault of Earthly Demise is a monument to the inscrutable power of Umôrdhoth, who resides within its sinister depths. Legend has it that the Vault is another realm detached from our own reality, and perhaps part of or adjacent to the Underworld of the fabled Dreamlands. However, there is nothing dreamlike about the Vault, except perhaps in the nightmares that jolt one awake, screaming in terror.
