The Old Ones

The Old Ones refer to ancient, god-like beings originating from H.P. Lovecraft's works, particularly within the Cthulhu Mythos. They are often depicted as powerful and incomprehensible entities that exist beyond human understanding and influence the universe and its events. The most notable among them is Cthulhu, a creature said to be lying in a death-like slumber beneath the sea. These beings symbolize humanity's insignificance in the cosmos and the limits of human knowledge, evoking themes of existential dread and the unknown. Their stories explore the fragility of sanity when confronted with greater, unknowable forces.
