Ug-Qualtoth

An altar of Ug-Qualtoth resides in the virulent underchambers of the Dunwich Building in 2277.

Background
Anthropologists have speculated the swampfolk have a belief in the occult, and some postulate they pray to a hitherto unknown entity named Ug-Qualtoth.

A strange altar found in the depths of the Dunwich Building may hold the key to discovering more about this previously unknown entity. Unfortunately, because all investigators into grimoire oddities are currently attempting to scrape together a day-to-day existence or are dead, further research may never occur.

Legend states that pressing the fabled Krivbeknih into this eldritch obelisk can force those of impure blood to face a fiery death.

What little IS known about this entity however, may prove useful to any adventurer, or wanderer who may have seen enough things to believe in these things. The semi-Lovecraftian god Ug-Qualtoth is a decidedly evil god. Although his exact goals are unknown, he seems to have a penchant for psychic domination, and the ability to influence genetic code to mimic other recognizable life forms - most notably feral ghouls. It is believed that this practice is to weaken their minds (in the case of feral ghouls, this is very simple) and make them easier to command, at the obvious expense of delicate motor control, and the ability to use weapons. However not all of his followers possess such a dulled mind, and unfortunate genetic state. Its probable that some 2nd - or even 1st - generation supermutants may now be under His control, and recent reports have come in that pure humans have begun to bow in the form of a few obscure raider tribes.

Note: the following is unconfirmed, and not to be taken definitively. please take with a grain of salt, and PLEASE dont delete my work out of hand. Thank you.

''To fully understand this entity, we must first understand his possible significance in other mythologies. Bear with me here: krivbeknih (Krii-Bel-Nil) loosely translates to death-summon-void in dragon tongue of skyrim, and ug-qualtoth (Ok-Qel-Uth) translates to his-inevitable-command in the same language. this MAY be a coincidence, and it MAY be connected to the general negative sound to the syllables, but i just feel like these translations link too closely to their subjects.''

Quests

 * The Dark Heart of Blackhall: Destroy the Krivbeknih on this altar instead of giving it to Obadiah.
