The King in Yellow, by Todd Shearer, (c) 2000. "...and we stood upon the shore of the lake that was once Sarnath and gazed across the waters. We said not a word, as I viewed a loss greater than my own in the ruins, but felt the sorrow of all loss upon me. "Why did you bring me here?" I asked my companion. He said not a word, but pulled the pallid veil from his face and I knew it. He left me beside the waters, as the shoggoth stirred in the depths and I knew insanity..." --from the book of Iod
