The Ziggurats of Ndehugn

The Ziggurats of Ndehugn before the time of the Great Cataclysm

Ryan: There are some places you really shouldn't go. 

Megan: Up until today you believed there was a line between myth and reality. Maybe a very fine line sometimes but at least there was a line. Those things out there are REAL. If they're real, what else is real? You know what lives in the shadows now. You may never get another night's sleep as long as you live.

Dog Soldiers (2002) 

Genesis 6:4 

The Nephilim were in the land in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

They have existed since before recorded time, sitting like evil things in the jungles of Pellucidar . They sit under the unblinking sun as a figure head of evil against the sanity of the world. No man knows when they arrived, who build them, but they attract the evil, the desperate, the greedy, & those who seek the forbidden. 

There are rumors of madmen & mages who venture to the  Ziggurats of Ndehugn that the Nephilim of old worshiped foul things before the Earth was turned upside down. How the Ziggurats were door ways that allowed many evil beings to gain access to the world & feast on her until the Great Cataclysm allowed them to be swallowed up. But evil such as these will not easily die or be destroyed  

They lay scattered across the face of this inner world chaotically & there are rumors of these relics from beyond Earth moving about when no sane soul stares at them. 

From time to time it is said that the  Ziggurats of Ndehugn sit upon the former sites of the Elder Things themselves but for what purpose remains unknown. 

The Ziggurats of Ndehugn are said to be cursed for where they dwell the jungles are at their thickest, the dinosaurs are the fiercest, & the drums of ancient forbidden gods echo through the canopy. Ancient giants guard  these places. 

The tribes that do dwell within the shadows of these horrors from beyond are far more aggressive then their neighbors. Many are horrid mutants twisted by the strange burning radiations that sometimes shine from these places. Others are servants of the Mythos races or alien horrors  that emerge from some forgotten corner of the oververse.

The Mahars themselves refuse to speak of the foul lecherous horrors & spawn that emerge from time to time from these places. They dispatch thousands of shagoth gorilla  warriors to deal with whatever foul thing comes forth. Meanwhile the Serpent Men make their pilgrimages to this places hurling epitaphs to Yig from the highest black basalt pillars
