<blockquote><br />
[Daoloth was not] shapeless, but so complex that the eye could recognize no describable shape. There were hemispheres and shining metal, coupled by long plastic rods. The rods were of a flat gray color, so that he could not make out which were nearer; they merged into a flat mass from which protruded individual cylinders. As he looked at it, he had a curious feeling that eyes gleamed from between these rods; but wherever he glanced at the construction, he saw only the spaces between them.<br />
<br>&mdash;[[Ramsey Campbell]], "The Render of the Veils"<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''Daoloth''' (''The Render of Veils'' or ''The Parter of Veils'') dwells in [[dimension]]s beyond the three we know. His astrologer-priests are said to be able to see the past and the future and even how objects extend into and travel between different dimensions.<br />
<br />
Daoloth's indescribable shape causes viewers to go mad at the sight of him; thus, he must be summoned in pitch-black darkness. If not held within some kind of magical containment, he continues to expand and expand, perhaps even at an infinite rate. Those enveloped by the god are transported to utterly bizarre and remote worlds, usually perishing as a result. Daoloth's worship is rare on earth.<br />

==Heresies and Controversies==<br />
<!-- <br />
(Optional. This is a good place to include non-canon and controversial <br />
aspects of the Great Old One's mythos. Suggested Alternative Theories <br />
include: Derleth's elemental scheme; pseudo-science interpretation; <br />
"fanon" interpretations; unofficial humorous or eccentric takes on <br />
the mythos like Lovecraft's family tree; identification with "Real <br />
Life" mythological, religious, folklore, natural, and historical <br />
phenomena; fan theories; monster-makeover suggestions; such rumor and <br />
speculation contribute some flexibility and ambiguity to the mythos.) <br />

==Cult==<br />

detail might be more easily described on their own Organization <br />
page, and in that case provide links to those organization pages:)<br />
