It

Hi guys!

I thought that it was time we tried to figure out exactly what we are up against.

The only real information we have beyond what’s been going on is the books we were given, and they were not very descriptive.

As far as I understand from Marcusson’s comments, this thing is supposedly a specific aspect of a set of beings, along the lines of divine avatars in Huindu mythology. This reasoning is in line with some of the creatures referenced, such as the Naga. It seems plausible that something like what we are dealing with was once confused and interpreted as a creature of the wet underworld. The water and the tunnels seem to have been a prerequisite for summoning it.

Because while the Naga seem to sometimes have had benevolent intentions, the thing we’re dealing with clearly has little in the way of sympathy for people.

As for the idea of the Cyhyraeth, its scream could supposedly be heard before someone died. It therefore wasn’t seen as a danger in and of itself, but rather as an omen. Here too, it is easy to imagine someone coming up with the myth following an encounter with this thing. After all, we have seen nothing of it directly, but rather just the thing acting through people.

At least none of us have heard screaming yet, but that doesn’t comfort much.
