Tindalos is a fictional location, shown in some works to be a dimension, in the Cthulhu Mythos. It was first mentioned, through the title of their most infamous denizens the Hounds of Tindalos, by American author Frank Belknap Long in his 1929 short story "The Hounds of Tindalos."
Overview[]
Lovecraft Circle Works[]
Assuming that Tindalos is in fact a location and not the master of the Hounds of Tindalos, it may be inferred from the actions of the Hounds that it is a seperate dimension.
Expanded Mythos Works[]
In Richard Lee Byers' novella Ire of the Void, Tindalos is an alien dimension, one inhabited by not only the Hounds, but also Satyrs and fearsome Dholes (in Long's story, it was already established that the Satyrs and the Doels are associated with the Hounds of Tindalos). Its geography consists primarily of floating roadways in bizarre geometric patterns, and the occasional land mass adorned with dome-shaped buildings. Despite the incomprehensible laws which govern this strange realm, it is not unnavigable by human beings, as shown when Norman Withers worked his way across the labyrinth of roadways and rescued the abducted Claus Schmidt.
