 Cthulhu Mythos
The "Great Deep Ones" are vastly powerful and ancient creatures who are worshiped as gods by the "Deep Ones" and insane human cultists. Some believe that they are "Deep Ones" who have attained godlike power and transcended normal physical existence.
While these beings posses tremendous power, they can only extend their influence when there is a rare confluence of stars, or when summoned through various rituals. Certain forbidden tomes of power list the "True Names" and necessary rituals for invoking the full power of these beings. Such knowledge is perilous in the extreme, and the "Deep Ones" have rendered many of the more dangerous names unto the keeping of the Kraken. It is believed that the Kaeden are "Great Deep Ones" whose names were deliberately forbidden ("Not-to-Be-Named-Ones") and then forgotten ("Unnamed Old Ones") to limit their summoning.
The most infamous of the "Great Deep Ones" are:
- Azathoth, Him in the Gulf
