Yellow Sign

A curious symbol or letter in gold that is associated with The King in Yellow. It is neither Arabic nor Chinese, nor does it belong to any human script. [RWC Yellow (online text)]

Hildred Castaigne had a siken robe embroidered with the Yellow Sign, which was part of his imperial regalia. Castaigne gave a homeless man a piece of paper with the Yellow Sign on it. Mr. Wilde had a list of thousands of names of men who had received the Yellow Sign which no living human being dared disregard. Apparently all of these would support the revolution to make Castaigne the king. Mr. Wilde said that California and the Northwest might better never have been inhabited, since he would not send the Yellow Sign to them. The implication was that all the people of those regions would be killed after Castaigne's ascent to power as the emperor of America. [RWC Repairer (online text)]

Tessie found a black onyx clasp with the yellow sign inlaid in gold. That night began her nightmares of Mr. Scott being drawn in a hearse. Later she gave the clasp to Mr. Scott. Only after reading The King in Yellow did they realize it was the Yellow Sign. The undead night-watchman asked Scott "Have you found the Yellow Sign?" Later, the night-watchman tore the clasp from Scott's cloak before leaving him to die. [RWC Yellow (online text)]

Yergler, Rudolf

Author, Chronike von Nath. A blind German mystic and alchemist, who finished his momentous work in 1653, just before his sight gave out. Shortly after the first edition, he was sent to an asylum in Berlin. Although the work contained odd musical rhythm patterns, Yergler had not been a musician, and it is not known whether he copied the formulae from older tomes or created them himself. He died mysteriously in the madhouse during a thunderstorm. A hideous cocophany was heard outside and above his room, followed by the sound of a broken shutter, and a wild scream. Yergler was found slumped in a corner of the room in an attitude of extreme terror, dead eyes bulging upward, his face and body pitted with holes that resembled burns but were not. [DWR Music (online text)]

Yezidees

(Also spelled Yazidis or Yezidis) A Middle Eastern ethnic group and their religion. They traditionally believe in one God who created seven archangels to govern the world; chief of these is Malik Tous. Muslims and Western Occultists have sometimes identified Malik Tous with the devil, and protrayed the Yezidees as devil worshippers. [Yazidis, Wikipedia 10/25/2020]

Prof. John Kirowan referred to Malik Tous as the "the foul god worshipped by the mysterious Yezidees—they of Mount Alamout the Accursed—whose Eight Brazen Towers rise in the mysterious wastes of deep Asia." [REH Dig (online text) 79]

Yith

Origin of the Great Race. HPL Time (online text) 401: The Great Race came to Earth from that obscure trans-galactic world known in the disturbing and debatable Eltdown Shards as Yith.

AWD Lurker 84: A book of handwritten excerpts from the Necronomicon says that the Great Race returned from Yith to a distant future era on Earth. Whippoorwills 47: The same excerpt, mentioning the Great Race and Yith, occurs in a handwritten book in the house of Abel Harrop.

DWR Dreams (online text): A distant "space-hung" place (perhaps a planet), with mountain peaks and islands, and a deep hole where the being Sotho dwells. There is a deserted city with a silver gate and a stream of black putrefaction winding by, leading eventually to a dry sea-bed. The Great Race of Yith is not mentioned, so it is not clear if this Yith is the same as the Yith where the Great Race originated. If so, then the Great Race may have departed prior to the era described by this poem.
