R'lyea is the great and ancient underwater city (more of a tomb) where Cthulhu lies dreaming. The great spell 'Ia' R'lyea! Cthulhu fhtagn! Ia'! Ia' speaks of both the city of 'R'lyea' and the elder god.

Behind the scenes[]

In Lovecraft works R'lyeh is a city of non-Euclidean geometrical design. It is misspelled (possibly intentionally) in the King's Quest Companion.
