Norsup

Norsup is a fictional location that appears in the works of author H.P. Lovecraft. It is typically depicted as a dark, mysterious, and often malevolent place, though its exact nature and location vary across Lovecraft's stories. Norsup is not a physical place on Earth as understood by modern geography. Instead, it is part of the Cthulhu Mythos, a shared fictional universe created by Lovecraft and expanded upon by other authors.

In some interpretations, Norsup is associated with ancient evils and forgotten gods. It is sometimes described as a city or a realm existing in dimensions beyond human comprehension, a place where sanity frays and the veil between reality and the unnatural is thin. Its inhabitants, if any are mentioned, are usually alien or monstrous beings. The concept of Norsup serves as a tool for Lovecraft to evoke feelings of cosmic horror, the insignificance of humanity, and the terror of the unknown. It embodies the dread of that which lies beyond the stars and the ancient, slumbering forces that could threaten existence itself. The name "Norsup" itself has a somewhat guttural and unsettling sound, contributing to the overall atmosphere of dread associated with it. It represents a place of profound mystery and existential threat within the Lovecraftian cosmology.
