For a
time Cthulhu and the Great Old Ones will be freed from their tombs to prey upon
the herd of mankind. In their fear and madness the remnants of humanity will
call upon their Elder Gods to save them, but those gods are weak and fearful,
and they will not leave Kadath to face Great Cthulhu.
In this time the crypts under the Monastery of
Tsan-Chan will give birth to the Avatar of Nyarlathotep that is to be known as the Prince of the Black Flame. He shall inhabit a
body sewn piecemeal from age old corpses and cover himself with yellow robes to hide his
decay, only those with the third eye will see his crown of black fire and wings
of black flame.
The
Avatar will cause the stars to change their course, then will Cthulhu and his
spawn be made to retreat to their tombs and be sealed again, dead but dreaming.
All men will turn will turn to serve the Avatar and he shall build a great
empire to cover seven tenths of the earth. Mighty altars will be set for the
Outer Gods and they shall run red both day and night. Elder Seals shall be
broken and the demons beyond Kadath set loose on the world to be worshipped and
given all manner of sacrifice.
In the
far reaches of Kadath will the Elder Gods of man cower, for the world will no
longer be theirs. In time they will be forgotten by all men. Their names not
written down on any parchment or carved upon any tablet they will grow old to
become mere shadows, eternally whispering of all they have lost.
("Prophecies
of Pnom" as translated by Prof. Christian Morgan)
