Koth

Koth (1)

The Sign of Koth, a mysterious and ominous symbol.

In the Gugs' city in the Dreamlands, there stands a central tower with the sign of Koth, "a monstrous symbol in bas-relief which made one shudder without knowing its meaning." [HPL Kadath (online text)]

In the cellars beneath the former site of Joseph Curwen's house, there was a door with a crude sign of Koth chiselled above it. It filled Marinus Willett with vague spiritual dread, for he recalled a few things that Randolph Carter had told him that it means in the dark abyss of sleep. Willett also did not like what Carter had said of its powers. [HPL Case (online text)]

A very old man, perhaps a Druid priest returned from the grave, told Philip Caravel "I adjure you, by the Sign of Koth, do not open" the God-Box. [AWD GodBox]

Koth (2)

A dead city. John Grimlan hinted to John Conrad of the black cyclopean walls of Koth. Grimlan was the only mortal man to visit the dead city of Koth, where, in a grim and silent chamber, he sold his soul to Malik Tous, writing the contract in his own blood. "A mortal who reaches the black citadels of Koth and speaks with the Darke Lord whose face is hidden, for a price may gain his heart's desire, riches and knowledge beyond counting and a life of 250 years beyond the mortal span." The ritual performed after John Grimlan's death included the invocation "Ya—Koth!" [REH Dig (online text)]
