I'm developing an idea for a horrific adventure, and my bad guy is going to be a creature left behind from the primordial chaos, a la HPL.
Is there published canon I should be aware of for the Big Bang theory for Greyhawk? I've read the Races of.. series, so I'm familiar with each of the races' creation myths. I wanted to check to see if there was anything else I should know about. As always, thanks for the feedback!
Oh, yeah - H.P. Lovecraft, for anyone who may be wondering. Thanks!

There is no creation canon for Greyhawk. That's not to say that there hasn't been any deity-specific propaganda, but that sort of ancient pre-history is exactly the sort of thing that should be (and has been) left to individual DMs.
