Maybe for the best. They live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that they should voyage far...

I think I remember, 1st year at Uni, quite early on I think. I'm a bit of a Crypto-buff, you see, and there was a discussion over at cryptozoology.com that started getting sarcastic and silly, and shoggoths started being namesdropped. That was it. Then I ended up getting the omnibuses as some of the guys explained these nasty beasties to me, and I thought they sounded cool! The elder beings quickly became my fave race... as you can probably tell...
