An
alien city in the
Hyades on the
shore of the
Lake of Hali. The city is dominated by
tall black buildings and plagued by
strange and
unexplainable events.
Hastur, both the
interdimensional monstrosity and the
entropic force, is the
unseen master.
Travel to Carcosa is a simple but extraordinarily
treacherous affair, and is best left to the
brave, the
desperate, and the
foolish. Residents of the city may offer you
maps, but they should be
mistrusted: the maps are only
correct once, and the residents are usually
illusory. You should, in fact,
avoid the people, avoid the buildings, avoid walking around in the
streets, and avoid
standing in any one place--all are
dangerous activities which can lead to
death,
madness,
dismemberment, and becoming a resident of Carcosa.
Carcosa has been visited by
Ambrose Bierce,
Robert W. Chambers, and
H. P. Lovecraft. They fared no better than anyone else does.
