Speaks of Forgotten Gods

Translation Codex

The concept of lost and forgotten religions bearing importance on the present day is one that has caught hold in many recursions. From the elder races of fantasy serving the first gods upon their fictional world to the Lovecraftian monsters which warp the minds of mere mortals, humans cling to this frightening prospect. I believe this is because it is true.

In fact, recursions in which the wicked or outcast practice these secrets often serve as tenuous gateways to the Strange and the various creatures that inhabit it. The servants of the Planetovores make use of these beliefs, but our fear of them is also useful to us. For knowing that something is out there in the dark chaos lets us know we should be ready.
