    That is not dead which can eternal lie and with strange eons you will find that even Death may die...

    Only the end of that sentence made some sense to me. The rest needs subtitles x3

    It’s from H.P. Lovecraft’s short stories, first appearing in the 1921 “The Nameless City” and again in the 1928 “Callof Cthulhu.”

    I've never been much of an avid reader. At best some text based RP, once.

    Although "that is not dead which can eternal lie" still doesn't make sense to me, Lovecraft or otherwise

    The idea behind it is that the Great Old Ones are immortal and simply biding their time until they are released and/or escape imprisonment, and when they do, they will destroy all of existence, including death itself.

    For a watered down and very nearly plagiarized account, just look at the old gods and void lords in wow.

    I know what they more or less are, that's not the issue. It's just that still, the sentence makes no sense to me xD Like.. Just.. The words don't follow in a sensible order for me to actually get any meaning out of them

    That’s not outside the realm of the intended purpose... it’s a rhyming couplet intended to be both prophetic and written by a madman.

    "That is not dead which can eternal lie"

    The order of words are, in multiple ways, backwards. So let's reverse it:

    1) "that is not dead" = it ("that") is alive
    2) "can eternal lie" = can sleep ("lie") forever ("eternal")
    3) Even the order of the sentence itself can be reversed...

    Therefore:

    "That is not dead which can eternal lie" = If it can sleep forever then it is still alive.

    Next mafia should be Cthulhu themed, imo.
