Cult of the Chaos God
As a master of time, space, reality, and dreams, those who believe in Azathoth are capable of horrible things. To them, there is no right or wrong, there is only the will of the gnawing of Azathoth and the eventual assimilation into one with the great mind. They are apt to create monstrous statues of Azathoth, as well as human sacrifices and similar gruesome rituals. Those who draw upon Azathoth's endless and vast power as his followers are able to use spells like dream or fear. Many could influence the minds of others with cursed enchantments like crown of madness or phantasmal force. Advanced clerics could even cast spells like time stop or destructive wave.
Artifacts
Azathoth is surrounded by a variety of stories about the many things which surround the lair of the great Outer God in the swirls of nebulous chaos. Azathoth is supposedly held at bay in their current holdings of Infinity, which is located in the center of a great dark abyss in space that can swallow anything. What sustains this abyss is a magic demonic flute which is played constantly by a nameless creature that is Azathoth's temporary warden. Those who get a hold of this flute can very well release the ancient god from his exile early and start a great cross-spatial massacre.
In addition to the flute, Azathoth is said to have a famous book in which followers can sign on to. Within its ancient pages are the names of all who ever swore fealty to Azathoth. This book is protected and carried by Nyarlathotep, who is Azathoth's son, and also an Outer God. Nyarlathotep beckons people and entices them using his many faces and avatars into signing away their lives to serve the throne of Azathoth in chaos.
Lastly, there are many things that fall from space that can sometimes be attributed to Azathoth's roiling and gnawing from exile. As "Lord of All Things," Azathoth can create on a whim or out of a dream, and many of these things may find themselves in the world in many forms. The starlight staff, for example, is made out of material unlike any metal of the realm and is as hard as adamantium. It induces madness and terror in those who do not take care in its use and can still ultimately lead others to ruin, as it is an unpredictable alien tool.
