====== Alar ======


Alar is one of three cities in the land of [[Hastur]] (though this name wasn't mentioned in the play as performed) along with [[Yhtill]] and [[Carcosa]]. Alar sits on the shores of lake Dehme. [[The Stranger]] comes from Alar where he is known as [[Haita]] (Alaran for "Stranger").

Alar invented '[[The Pallid Mask]]' as a foil against [[The King in Yellow]], but it appeared to be ineffective. The wearer of the 'Pallid Mask' is the 'Phantom of Truth', who is also known as The Stranger.

Alar is associated with [[Hyades|Aldebaran]].

At the end of [[Carcosa, or The Queen and the Stranger]], Alar is about to be destroyed after Yhtill and Carcosa are merged by The King in Yellow.
