||
| â | '''''Nyarlathotep''''', known to many by his epithet '''''The Crawling Chaos''''', is an [[Outer God]] in the [[Cthulhu Mythos]]. He is the spawn of [[Azathoth (deity)|Azathoth]]. He is the creation of [[H. P. Lovecraft]] and first appeared in his prose poem "[[Nyarlathotep (poem)|Nyarlathotep]]" (1920). Â |
||
| â | |||
| â | Nyarlathotep appears in numerous subsequent stories by Lovecraft, and is also featured in the works of other authors, as well as in role-playing games based on the Cthulhu Mythos. |
||
| â | |||
| â | == Description == |
||
| â | Nyarlathotep differs from the other deities in the Mythos in a number of ways. Most of the Outer Gods are exiled to the stars, like [[Yog-Sothoth]] and [[Azathoth]], and most of the [[Great Old One]]s are sleeping and dreaming like [[Cthulhu]]; Nyarlathotep, however, is active and frequently walks the Earth in the guise of a human being, usually a tall, slim, joyous man. He has "a thousand" other forms and manifestations, most reputed to be quite horrific and sanity-blasting. |
||
| â | |||
| â | Most of the Outer Gods have their own cults serving them; Nyarlathotep seems to serve these cults and take care of their affairs in the other Outer Gods' absence. Most Outer Gods use strange alien languages, while Nyarlathotep uses human languages and can easily pass for a human being if he chooses to do so. Finally, most of them are all-powerful yet evidently without clear purpose or agenda, yet Nyarlathotep seems to be deliberately deceptive and manipulative, and even uses propaganda to achieve his goals. In this regard, he is probably the most human-like among the Outer Gods. |
||
| â | |||
| â | Nyarlathotep enacts the will of the Outer Gods, and is their "messenger, heart and soul"; he is also the servant of [[Azathoth]], whose fitful, spastic wishes he immediately fulfills. Unlike the other Outer Gods, spreading madness is more important and enjoyable than death and destruction to Nyarlathotep. It is suggested by some that he will destroy the human race and possibly the earth as well.<ref>Harms, "Nyarlathotep", ''The Encyclopedia Cthulhiana'', pp. 218–9.</ref> |
||
| â | |||
| â | == Nyarlathotep in Lovecraft == |
||
| â | Nyarlathotep's first appearance is in the eponymous short story by Lovecraft (1920), in which he is described as a "tall, swarthy man" who resembles an Egyptian Pharaoh. In this story he wanders the earth, gathering legions of followers through his demonstrations of strange and seemingly magical instruments, the narrator of the story among them. These followers lose awareness of the world around them, and through the narrator's increasingly unreliable accounts the reader gets a sense of the world's utter collapse. The story ends with the narrator as part of an army of servants for Nyarlathotep. |
||
| â | |||
| â | Nyarlathotep (usually referred to in conjunction with the subnomen, "The Crawling Chaos") subsequently appears as a major character in ''[[The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath|The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath]]'' (1926/27), in which he again manifests in the form of an Egyptian Pharaoh when he confronts protagonist [[Randolph Carter]]. He is here depicted as an avatar of the Other Gods, executing their will on Earth and in Dreamland. |
||
| â | |||
| â | The twenty-first sonnet of Lovecraft's poem-cycle ''[[Fungi from Yuggoth]]'' (1929/30) – not to be confused with the entities identified as the fungi from Yuggoth, or [[Mi-Go]] in "[[The Whisperer in Darkness]]" – is dedicated to Nyarlathotep, and is substantially a poetic retelling of the short story "Nyarlathotep." |
||
| â | |||
| â | In "[[The Dreams in the Witch-House]]" (1933), Nyarlathotep appears to [[Walter Gilman]] and witch [[Keziah Mason]] (who has made a pact with the entity) in the form of "the 'Black Man' of the witch-cult," a black-skinned avatar with the appearance of the Christian Devil associated with New England witchcraft lore. |
||
| â | |||
| â | Finally, in "[[The Haunter of the Dark]]" (1936), the being of pure darkness dwelling, possessing a "three-lobed eye", in the steeple of the [[Church of Starry Wisdom|Starry Wisdom]] sect's church is identified as another form, or manifestation of, Nyarlathotep. |
||
| â | |||
| â | Though Nyarlathotep appears as a character in only four stories and one sonnet (still more than any other [[Great Old One]]s or [[Outer Gods]]), his name is mentioned frequently in numerous others. For example, in "[[The Whisperer in Darkness]]" Nyarlathotep's name is spoken frequently by the fungi from Yuggoth in a reverential or ritual sense, indicating that they worship or honor the entity. |
||
| â | |||
| â | Despite similarities in theme and name, Nyarlathotep does not feature at all in Lovecraft's story "[[The Crawling Chaos]]," (1920/21) an apocalyptic narrative written in collaboration with Elizabeth Berkeley. |
||
| â | |||
| â | ==In the Lovecraft Circle Myth Cycles== |
||
| â | {{Lovecraftcircle}} |
||
| â | In the [[Clark Ashton Smith]]'s [[Hyperborean cycle]], he is said to be spouse of the Elk-Goddess [[Yhoundeh]] |
||
| â | |||
| â | ==Inspiration== |
||
| â | In a 1921 letter to Reinhardt Kleiner, Lovecraft related the dream he had had — described as "the most realistic and horrible [nightmare] I have experienced since the age of ten" — that served as the basis for his prose poem "Nyarlathotep". In the dream, he received a letter from his friend Samuel Loveman that read: |
||
| â | |||
| â | :''Don't fail to see Nyarlathotep if he comes to Providence. He is horrible — horrible beyond anything you can imagine — but wonderful. He haunts one for hours afterward. I am still shuddering at what he showed.'' |
||
| â | |||
| â | Lovecraft commented: |
||
| â | |||
| â | :''I had never heard the name NYARLATHOTEP before, but seemed to understand the allusion. Nyarlathotep was a kind of itinerant showman or lecturer who held forth in public halls and aroused widespread fear and discussion with his exhibitions. These exhibitions consisted of two parts – first, a horrible – possibly prophetic – cinema reel; and later some extraordinary experiments with scientific and electrical apparatus. As I received the letter, I seemed to recall that Nyarlathotep was already in Providence.... I seemed to remember that persons had whispered to me in awe of his horrors, and warned me not to go near him. But Loveman's dream letter decided me.... As I left the house I saw throngs of men plodding through the night, all whispering affrightedly and bound in one direction. I fell in with them, afraid yet eager to see and hear the great, the obscure, the unutterable Nyarlathotep.<ref>H. P. Lovecraft, letter to Reinhardt Kleiner, December 21, 1921; cited in Lin Carter, ''Lovecraft: A Look Behind the Cthulhu Mythos'', pp. 18-19.</ref>'' |
||
| â | |||
| â | Will Murray suggests that this dream image of Nyarlathotep may have been inspired by the inventor [[Nikola Tesla]], whose well-attended lectures did involve extraordinary experiments with electrical apparatus, and whom some saw as a sinister figure.<ref>Will Murray, "Behind the Mask of Nyarlathotep", ''Lovecraft Studies'' No. 25 (Fall 1991); cited in Robert M. Price, ''The Nyarlathotep Cycle'', p. 9.</ref> |
||
| â | |||
| â | [[Robert M. Price]] proposes that the name Nyarlathotep may have been subconsciously suggested to Lovecraft by two names from [[Lord Dunsany]], an author he much admired: Alhireth-Hotep, a false prophet from Dunsany's ''[[The Gods of Pegana]]'', and Mynarthitep, a god described as "angry" in his "The Sorrow of Search".<ref>Price, p. vii, 1-5.</ref> |
||
| â | |||
| â | ==Quotations== |
||
| â | :"''And it was then that Nyarlathotep came out of Egypt. Who he was, none could tell, but he was of the old native blood and looked like a Pharaoh. The fellahin knelt when they saw him, yet could not say why. He said he had risen up out of the blackness of twenty-seven centuries, and that he had heard messages from places not on this planet. Into the lands of civilisation came Nyarlathotep, swarthy, slender, and sinister, always buying strange instruments of glass and metal and combining them into instruments yet stranger. He spoke much of the sciences – of electricity and psychology –and gave exhibitions of power which sent his spectators away speechless, yet which swelled his fame to exceeding magnitude. Men advised one another to see Nyarlathotep, and shuddered. And where Nyarlathotep went, rest vanished; for the small hours were rent with the screams of a nightmare.'' |

||
| â | |||
| â | :''And through this revolting graveyard of the universe the muffled, maddening beating of drums, and thin, monotonous whine of blasphemous flutes from inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond Time; the detestable pounding and piping whereunto dance slowly, awkwardly, and absurdly the gigantic, tenebrous ultimate gods â the blind, voiceless, mindless gargoyles whose soul is Nyarlathotep.'' |
||

| â | :''It was the eldritch scurrying of those fiend-born rats, always questing for new horrors, and determined to lead me on even unto those grinning caverns of earth's centre where Nyarlathotep, the mad faceless god, howls blindly to the piping of two amorphous idiot flute-players.'' |
