The Sar Aigu Ritual

[Havard]

In your campaign or in other fan production (as i assume that there is no clear canon around this issue) do you have a relation between that Old One and the Egg of Coot?
When the Old One came, was the Egg of Coot already there? is the Egg of Coot some kind of "souvenir" left by that Old One?

Yatz, you ask the greatest questions!

Here are some things that could help explain.

Outer Being Hierarchy:
1. Outer Beings
2. Greater Servitors
3. Lesser Servitors


The Outer Beings are on the same level of power as the Immortals, but banned from the Multiverse. Their only way to influence the Planes is through their servitors. Lesser Servitors are creatures like the Sar-Aigu, the Serpent-Men of Davania, Beholders, Malferas, Nuckalavee etc.

Greater Servitors are much more powerful than lesser ones. They were last known to be active during the Cthonian Age. Since then they have only been referred to as the Sleeping Ones.

The encounter between the Sar Aigu and the Old One occurred towards the end of the Cthonian Age. Giving away too much about the motives of the Old Ones would take away some of the mystery surrounding them, but it seems that the Old One did not want the Sar Aigu to succeed in summoning the Outer Beings. Perhaps the Multiverse is to the Old Ones a great experiment to test the Immortals, just like the Immortals like to test mortals? Perhaps the Outer Beings represented a flaw in that test?


I don't think the Egg of Coot was connected to the Old One. Probably it was something left behind from the Cthonian Age. Possibly, the Egg was simply a spawn from that Age, the spawn of a Greater Servitor, put into stasis before its birth?

What (else) did the Old One do, on his "visit"? Why/where did he go "away"?

It seems likely that the Old One is somehow linked to the FSS Beagle. We know that the Beagle's reactor was eventually tampered with by an Old One (probably the same one). Perhaps at this early point, he was setting up the stage for the Beagle to crash?
