Of Leng in Ye
Cold Waste
Who seeketh Northwards beyond the twilight land of Inquanok shall find amidst the
frozen waste the dark and mighty plateau of thrice-forbidden Leng.
Know ye time-shunned Leng by the ever-burning evil-fires and ye foul screeching of the
scaly Shantak birds which ride the upper air; by the howling of ye Na-hag who brood in
nighted caverns and haunt men's dreams with strange madness, and by the grey stone temple
beneath the Night Gaunts lair, wherein is he who wears the Yellow Mask and dwelleth all
alone.
But beware O Man, beware, of Those who tread in Darkness the ramparts of Kadath, for he
that beholds Their mitred-heads shall know the claws of doom.
