Kuranes
Kuranes (also King Kuranes) is a fictional character in H. P. Lovecraft's Dream Cycle. He was introduced in the short story "Celephaïs" (1922) and also appeared in The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath (1926).
Kuranes was a great dreamer and made frequent visits to the Dreamlands. In the waking world, he was an ordinary hobo whose name Lovecraft never discloses. In his dreams, he created the city of Celephaïs, the valley of Ooth-Nargai, in which Celephaïs was situated, and presumably the cloud city of Serannian, which was connected with Celephaïs. After he died he became the king and chief god of Celephaïs.
Kuranes has also appeared in Lovecraftian pastiches by authors such as Brian Lumley. Lumley's characters David Hero and Eldin the Wanderer eventually become agents for Kuranes.
In the Freakshow expansion for the collectable miniatures game HorrorClix, there are three miniatures based on King Kuranes.
