Tulsk

Tulsk is a fictional location mentioned in the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, particularly within his Cthulhu Mythos. It is described as a cyclopean city, a relic of an ancient and alien civilization that predates humanity. The city is often depicted as being situated in a desolate and forgotten region, shrouded in mystery and bearing the weight of immense, non-Euclidean architecture. Descriptions of Tulsk emphasize its immense age and the unsettling, otherworldly nature of its construction. The inhabitants, if any remain, are typically portrayed as degenerate or monstrous entities, descendants of the original builders or beings that have since occupied the ruins. Lovecraft's use of Tulsk serves to evoke a sense of cosmic horror and the insignificance of human existence in the face of vast, unknowable forces and ancient, forgotten histories. While specific details about Tulsk's geography or inhabitants can vary in different interpretations of Lovecraft's work, its core representation as a testament to a vast, alien past remains consistent. It is a place where the veil between the known and the utterly alien is thin, a symbol of the terrifying possibilities that lie beyond human comprehension.
