When the stars were right, They could plunge from world to
world through the sky; but when the stars were wrong, They
could not live. But although They no longer lived, They would
never really die. They all lay in stone houses in Their great
city of R'lyeh, preserved by the spells of mighty Cthulhu for
a glorious surrection when the stars and the earth might once
more be ready for Them.
