'''Aphoom-Zhah''', called ''The Cold Flame'', is a Great Old One that debuted in [[Lin Carter]]'s [[short story]] "The Acolyte of the Flame" ([[1985 in literature|1985]])—although the being was first mentioned in an earlier tale by Carter, "[[The Horror in the Gallery]]" ([[1976 in literature|1976]]). Aphoom-Zhah is also mentioned in Carter's "The Light from the Pole" ([[1980 in literature|1980]]), a story Carter wrote from an early draft by [[Clark Ashton Smith]]. Smith later developed this draft into "The Coming of the White Worm" ([[1941 in literature|1941]]).

Aphoom-Zhah is the progeny of [[Cthugha]] and is worshipped as the ''Lord of the Pole'' because he is trapped, like [[Ithaqua]], above the [[Arctic Circle]]. Aphoom-Zhah frequently visited [[Hyperborea]] during the last [[ice age]]. His legend is chronicled in the [[Pnakotic Manuscripts]].

Aphoom-Zhah appears as a vast, cold, grey flame that freezes whatever it touches. The being came to Earth from the [[star]] [[Fomalhaut]], briefly visiting the [[planet]] [[Yaksh]] ([[Neptune]]) before taking up residence in [[Mount Yarak]], a legendary mountain atop the [[North Pole]]. When the [[Elder God (Cthulhu Mythos)|Elder God]]s tried to imprison him beneath the pole, Aphoom-Zhah erupted with such fury that he froze the lands around him. Aphoom-Zhah is believed to be responsible for the [[glacier|glaciation]] that eventually overwhelmed Hyperborea, [[Zobna]], and [[Lomar]].

Aphoom-Zhah likely spawned [[Gnoph-Keh]], [[Rhan-Tegoth]], and [[Voorm]]. Though no human cult worships this being, Aphoom-Zhah is revered by the [[gnophkeh]], the [[Voormi]] and his own race of minions; the spectral [[Ylidheem]].
