Foxed:
Nyarlathotep would open the gate on a whim. For a laugh.
Also, Gatekeeper if officially the guy who killed Abdul Alhazred (which, um, the proper name would be Abd'Al-Hazred).

He did open up reality, that's how he became the gatekeeper.

Yea and the father of the previous GK was Dante Alighieri and that was wrote in... what 1300's and yet GK was around for thousands of years before that... So something is a Little Fishy over here too Black Cat guys... (click to show/hide)Course I have the answer for such craziness in the form of Epoch's/Aeon's of existence, mythological 'history' and repeating histories, but I digress...

Nyarlathotep is a bad guy. Do you think Gatekeeper is as well?

Mordite could be manifested bits of
Ialdagorth.
--- Quote ---Ialdagorth (The Dark Devourer) is both the cousin and servant of Azathoth, appearing as a black, shapeless, malevolent mist. The sight of such a fiend is unsettling if not traumatizing.

The physical description is pretty close, and "Dark Devourer" is apt for deathstone. Ivy even says, "The duel will end when it has devoured one of you.” Not to mention mordite in Turn Coat is called a "mistfiend".

Good call! Looks like Jim isn't using it as a single Outer god but took the idea of it and made it more like a destructive substance/creature/thing that can be acquired.
