==Cthulhu Cometh==


'''-68,000,000 CA:''' The stars shift ever so slightly, as the cosmic cycle marched onward. Cthulhu and its star spawn, subject to this event, go into a hibernation-like state, preserved by powerful magic in the Nightmare City. They leave Polesia to the stewardship of their servants, the aboleths and illithids. The illithids are charged with the swampy coasts and lush jungles, and the aboleths with the oceans. Left to their own devices, both races begin a terrible war with each other and the remaining Elder Things that lasted for centuries before being ended by a delicate truce. They take to the stars and established colonies on other worlds, using slave armies of primitive off world races to spread and invade even more worlds, leaving a large colony on Polesia to safeguard the Nightmare City. In time they conquer most of the galaxy that had been dominated by the Great Old Ones. The only obstacles standing in their way are the Great Race of Yith and the creatures known today only as the Mi-Go. These races form a temporary alliance and halt illithid expansion and drove them back, yet even so a quarter of the galaxy stays under their dominion.
