Azathoth
The Nuclear Chaos
The Blind Idiot God, The Nuclear Chaos, Azathoth: Lord of All. Outside of Ghaile's planar-system, deep within the horror of the Far Realm, exists the Dreamer. A roiling mass of pure chaos and insanity sung to sleep by the beats of alien drums and the tunes of eldritch flutes.
Azathoth is a Dimensional Lord and ruler of the Far Realm. He exists deep within the chaos surrounded by gods and servants tasked with keeping the creature asleep. It's said that if Azathoth were to awaken, everything within the Far Realm would cease to exist, including Briah and Byss.
Azathoth has several "children" all produced by simple fission from the Lord's body. It's unclear if Azathoth is aware of these children or even of anything around Them. He never answers prayers, speaks to anyone, shows any kind of motivation, or even any kind of sentience. Cultists of Azathoth are capable of channeling his immense power, not because it is granted, but because of the sheer amount of it makes summoning said power easy.
Divine Domains
When worshipped as a deity, Azathoth is often associated with chaos, entropy, madness, mindless destruction, and other similar ideas. In truth, Azathoth is not the deity of anything, he is beyond such things as gods and is probably not even aware of their existence.
Holy Books & Codes
Azathoth possesses no formal holy book known to dimensional scholars. There are several pieces of information about him in the Necronomicon, but as with most things from the forbidden book, they're probably left unsaid.
Divine Symbols & Sigils
Azathoth possesses no official symbol, but on Ghaile an eight-pointed star is often used to mark the power of the Daemon Sultan.
Tenets of Faith
The cultists of Azathoth have no true tenants. Only the truly mad would ever consider worshipping such a being.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
To describe the Blind Idiot God is a fool's errand. His form is mutable and continually shifting and roiling into and out of reality. It is a horror that mortal minds cannot comprehend. He's been depicted as an enormous black hole, like those found at the centers of galaxies, massive tentacled abominations covered in eyes, mouths, and hair, and much stranger things.

Azathoth is sleeping, at least currently. The Outer Gods fear his power and know that their existence will end should he awaken. To prolong this, they created the amorphous flute players. These creatures swarm around Azathoth in innumerable quantities filling the space with the beats of drums and the whines of alien flutes. Sometimes they can be found elsewhere in the multiverse fulfilling the whims of the outer gods. Mortals have also been known to summon these beings to assist in summoning rituals or to quell the rage of eldritch beings.
