H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

The city of R'lyeh is well known for its impressive public transportation network despite complaints about how difficult it is to navigate. At least, its confusing for those constrained to Euclidean geometry.

My understanding is that all of our regular cities are also non-euclidean due to the fact that the earth is round

And yet, steam trains? Not electric?
