====== Hastur ======

The investigators found many references to the name Hastur as they learnt more of the plots of [[Malcolm Quarrie]], [[Lawrence Bacon]] and [[Montague Edwards]]: 
  * In [[Talbot Estus|Talbot Estus']] play [[Carcosa, or The Queen and the Stranger]] Hastur is the name of the land in which the Lake of Hali and the city of [[king_in_yellow_entities#Yhtill]] are situated. Strictly speaking it is 'the land of Hastur' which could, of course mean that it is 'Hastur's land', rather than Hastur being the name of the land itself.
  * Every mention of 'Hastur' in the work of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_W._Chambers|Robert W Chambers]] is ambiguous and could equally refer to a land or an entity.
  * In [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambrose_Bierce|Ambrose Bierce's]] '//Haita the Shepherd//', Hastur is the name of an apparently benign pagan God.
  * When the investigators visited [[Carcosa]], they were informed by [[Alexander Roby]] that Hastur is yet another name for [[The King in Yellow]] and that he is served by the [[The Springer Mound Monsters|Byakhee]].
