Ive started reading the book, Ive had a good look-see around the wikia, and I believe Im well on my way to joining this very intriguing Yellow fandom.

Here is some lore that u can interpret in your own ways.

the King in Yellow is said to be an inhuman being, who brings madness and doom. He is not meant to exist, but he is linked with a book of a play of the same name, and anyone who reads that book will be known to the King in Yellow. The King in Yellow whos "scalloped tatters... must hide Yhtill forever," Yhtill is a city that has been "absorbed" by Carcosa. He is linked in someway to Carcosa which is a city "where black stars hang in the heavens, mens thoughts lengthen in the afternoon, when the twin suns sink into the lake of Hali." he is said to wear a mask when interacting with humans, which hides his hideous appearance.

go easy on me if I am wrong with anything, I only am just recently joining the fandom, so I have little knowledge of it :)

also on an unrelated note, I don't rlly think the name Jeremiah is related to the one in the bible, the bible Jeremiah was called some "weeping prophet" and i dont think that he is related in any way to the xanthous king, but if someone finds something that does relate then pls share it in the thread
