	The People of K'n-yan are a humanoid race, progenitors of modern humans and actually extraterrestrials who arrived with their god [[Cthulhu\|Tulu]] in prehistoric times, that are sometimes said to resemble some unknown Native American race with a long, cone-shaped skull, elaborately-decorated robes, and access to advanced technology. They are immortal and have powerful psionic abilities, including telepathy and the ability to dematerialize at will. The dominant race of the formerly more diverse [[Hollow Earth]] land of [[K'n-yan]], they are technologically advanced, using machines that employ principles of atomic energy, though they have largely abandoned their mechanized culture finding it unfulfilling.

−	In older ages their were several races of People, but the race of the city of [[K'n-yan#Tsath]] conquered all the others over time and, regarding them as inferior classes, interbred the other races with monstrous creatures or biologically engineered them as food, slave labor, and for other assorted purposes; thus, in the era of modern men, the People of K'n-yan are largely of the Tsathite race, with the descendants of the other races less recognizably human forms such as the [[Gyaa-yothn]] or [[Y'm-bhi]]. In elder epics, "People of K'n-yan]] would have referred to a great number of other humanoid peoples.	+	In older ages their were several races of People, but the race of the city of [[K'n-yan#Tsath\|Tsath]] conquered all the others over time and, regarding them as inferior classes, interbred the other races with monstrous creatures or biologically engineered them as food, slave labor, and for other assorted purposes; thus, in the era of modern men, the People of K'n-yan are largely of the Tsathite race, with the descendants of the other races less recognizably human forms such as the [[Gyaa-yothn]] or [[Y'm-bhi]].

 <!-- Optional.  This is a good place to include non-canon and controversial aspects of the creature's mythos.  Suggested Alternative Theories include:  Derleth's elemental scheme; pseudo-science interpretation; "fanon" interpretations; unofficial humorous or eccentric versions; identification with "Real Life" mythological, religious, folklore, natural, and historical phenomena; rumor and speculation contribute some flexibility and ambiguity to the mythos. -->
