Simyan Keyholder has carried the black book of protean sorcery called Monacho Pustok (or Necronomicon) to a place deep beneath the ruined city of the Elder Race, located astride the so-called Mountains of Madness in Antarctica. There is a being imprisoned here, one of the titans who battled a still angelic Lucifer Morningstar before life flopped and slithered out the hot sea. The master of Simyan, dread Fthlagen, was created by the Elder Race after their discovery and study of this ancient lord of entropy. This is a magickal place, antipodal to order and law, and Simyan has been commanded to master chaos itself. Excerpted from the Starry Ones, our daily 3d comic strip
