In
an attempt to dispel some of the confusion between the town of
Rayleigh in Essex, and the sunken corpse city of R'lyeh I have
created the following infogram:
Rayleigh,
Essex, UK
General
Description: Successive 20th
and 21st century housing estates and developments, shopping amenities, stadium, leisure centre, golf club, swimming
pool, indoor karting track, an historic cottage built by the Dutch,
and a windmill.
Home
To: The Rayleigh Boys football
team. Rayleigh Brass Band
Recent
historical events of note: “Reality
TV stars to open Rayleigh trampoline park next month” (Southend
Echo - 28th
January, 2016)
Town
Motto: “IN
RELIQUIAM LABORAMUS” (We work for the future)
R'lyeh,
Southern Pacific Ocean
General
Description: “Weedy Cyclopean masonry which can be nothing
less than the tangible substance of earth's supreme terror.”
Home
To: The cosmic entity, Cthulhu
– High Priest of the Great Old Ones, The Great Dreamer, The Sleeper
of R'lyeh
Recent
historical events of note: That
one time Cthulhu woke up and chased after a boatload of sailors
Town
Motto: “Ph'nglui
mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn”
(In
his house at R'lyeh,
dead Cthulhu waits dreaming)
Speaking as someone whose family has owned a time-share holiday apartment in R'lyeh for several millennia now, I heartily recommend the place (see my review on Trip Advisor for more details). Once you get past the pervasive smell of rotting fish, it is pretty much the perfect place to kick back and relax.
