In the deepest of oceans lives the strange fishlike race called the [[Aboleth]]s. These beings are highly intelligent and the older Aboleths called Mind Lords can enslave lesser beings with the force of will alone. Having this power means they have enslaved Mermen and Deep Ones to do the daily work and to fill up the ranks of their armies. In a deep gorge the enslaved workers have built a score of small but magnificent cities for their rulers. In this gorge live the greatest of the Aboleths. Shore regions, if fortified, can train Androleths, [[Grimdark|Aboleth spawn inserted in human bodies for a painful puppeteer warrior.]]

In Middle Age, a star smashes into R'lyeh, bringing...You guessed it, Illithids! They replace Aboleths, but one or two linger alive, and don't mind rolling along with similarly brain raping amoral assholes from beyond. Not much changes, but the new bosses are amphibian and can blast your brain either way. Shore territories, when fortified, spawn free half-spawn, Deep Ones from Innsmouth, and can pay to train stronger half-spawns with armor.

In Late Age, it's Middle Age with an extra twist: population dies in your Dominion, and is "raised", brought to your army as crazed Cultist swarms. Have fun juggling 100 territories in multiplayer and get starvation reports when no one tends the fields and busy drooling and chanting and shitting themselves, including your leaders, and eventually even your own God! Yes, madness is a mechanic in game, every turn your insanity rating may cause your leaders to freeze in their province and shit themselves, babble, or jack off, and no, it's not R'lyeh specific. Your commanders who eat mercury as a Chinese cure may grow younger...or go nuts. We told you the game has every cultural aspect in history!

For the record, their unique God avatar, Uttervast which is an expy of Yog-Sothoth is an utterly indefeatable combat monster and can never start in the game before five years' time.
