I unironically believe there exists an intelligence - comparable to man, if not greater - in the deepest recesses of the sea, dormant or no.

octopi and dolphins are not far stretches from already being there. Because we have civilizations doesn't necessarily mean we are smarter.

Why is this a Yog-Sothothery General and not Cthulhu General? If it is because Cthulhu is not that powerful compared to other beings than why not Azatothery General?
Blake Brooks
Yog-Sothothery is Lovecraft's own term for it. Cthulhu is minor as fuck in the cosmos, and while Azathoth is powerful, he's boring.
Ethan Gonzalez
Lovecraft referred to his universe as the Yog-Sothothery, since Yog-Sothoth is the universe

In the shadow out of time the mc mentions something about meeting a wizard from a few hundred years in our future. I think its implied that magic is commonplace then or something. Did that ever get elaborated on? Did Lovecraft ever write about humanity in the future?
Incidentally i would recommend Future Lovecraft, a sci-fi Lovecraft anthology if anyone is into that sort kf thing.

Pretty much only what we get in "Shadow out of Time". There's an Australian physicist from 2500s, so apparently Australia is still a thing tehn (as are physicists, which would imply some form of higher education system is in place, so it's not, say, a post-apocalyptic wasteland or anything). Apparently China takes over the world at some point (which is also a thing in another Lovecraft story where the protagonist sees visions of the future where China has invaded America), with the "cruel empire of Tsan-Chan" (which, by the way, in modern transliteration should be written Can-Qan, I believe) ruling in 5000 A.D. There's also a "magician of the dark conquerors of 16,000 A.D.", but nothign else is really mentioned from that time. For some reason I see the world at that point having regressed into barbarism similar to how things were in 16, 000 B.C. in the Mythos universe (ie. Conan the Barbarian Time), but there isn't any actual evidence on that since all we know of that time period is that there are dark conquerors and they have magicians.
