Ubbo-Sathla

“For Ubbo-Sathla is the source and the end. Before the coming of Zhothaqquah or Yok- Zothoth or Kthulhut from the stars; Ubbo-Sathla dwelt in the steaming fens of the new-made Earth: a mass without head or members, spawning the gray, formless efts of the prime and the grisly prototypes of terrene life...And all earthly life, it is told, shall go back at last through the great circle of time to Ubbo-Sathla.” The Book of Eibon “The Book of Eibon, that strangest and rarest of occult forgotten volumes ... is said to have come down through a series of manifold translations from a prehistoric original written in the lost language of Hyperborea. „ Clark Ashton Smith, "Ubbo-Sathla" Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, Ubbo-Sathla, Clark Ashton Smith
