Zobna was a far northern kingdom in the Dreamlands that was eventually overwhelmed by the gradual encroachment of a great advancing ice sheet. The Zobnarians were forced to move southward and became the ancestors of the Lomarians. During their southward migration, the Zobnarians "valiantly and victoriously swept aside the hairy, long-armed, cannibal Gnophkehs that stood in their way." The wisdom of the Zobnarian Fathers, as the people of Lomar refer to their ancestors, is preserved in books in the Lomarian city of Olathoë. (HPL: "Polaris")
