Where treads the Elder God Nodens in his wake the Old One's servants fear & though he is the lord of the Abyss his blessings & treasures are few or precious. However in the fringe place & the far off places of the hideous Abyss there are artifacts & strange trophies the 'lord of the lost & the hunt has gathered.
Horror and the unknown or the strange are always closely connected so that it is hard to create a convincing picture of shattered natural law or cosmic alienage or 'outsideness' without laying stress on the emotion of fear.
