| − | The high-turreted cloud-castle of sky-floating Serannian, a pink marble cloud-city in the cloud-hung realm that lies in ethereal space beyond where the sea meets the flow of the west wind in the sky. Serannian is one of the [[Six Kingdoms]]. It is placed in the East, near the [[Ooth-Nargai#Celephaïs|capitol city]] of the land of [[Ooth-Nargai]].

Suggested Alternative Theories include: Derleth's elemental scheme; pseudo-science interpretation; "fanon" interpretations; unofficial humorous or eccentric takes on the mythos like Lovecraft's family tree; identification with "Real Life" mythological, religious, folklore, natural, and historical phenomena; rumor and speculation contribute some flexibility and ambiguity to the mythos.

| − | * Serannian is given some additional detail by [[Sandy Petersen]] and [[Chaosium]] in ''[[H.P. Lovecraft's Dreamlands]]'', including the shape and size and appearance of the circular city, about 20 square miles in size, and built in imitation of a Greek architectural style, covering about 3/4 of the floating cloud island, mostly on the eastern and southern sides. A domed Museum of Serannian stands on the island, as do "two" lighthouses - actually, one single lighthouse tower which extends both upwards from the city's surface, and downwards through the bottom of the island to light the way from below. A Hall of Proclamation, covered by a bronze dome, houses the city's Council, and the courts of King Kuranes and the city's Patriarch of Cats. Kuranes's palace here, as in Celephaïs, is built in imitation of a familiar English manor-house. (Chaosium)
