Mythos[]
The Silver Key first appeared in the story The Silver Key (H.P. Lovecraft, 1926).
Key of tarnished silver five inches long, carved with indecipherable hieroglyphics. The Silver Key was forged in the land of Hyperborea many years ago. Stolen in the Middle-East by the Crusader Geoffrey Carter, he passed it down through his family line. The Carter family passed down the key until the mystic Randolph Carter rediscovered it; he is believed to have taken it with him when he disappeared in 1928.
When certain words are spoken as the key is held up to the setting sun and rotated nine times, this device can physically transfer its user to any time desired. If the bearer is worthy, it may also be used to unlock the Ultimate Gate which Umr at-Tawil guards.[1]
