History
Pre-Cataclysm Age and early years[]
Kaa-U was a barbarous land in the Pre-Cataclysmic Age.[1]
It was also (or later became known as) the Lost City of Shuma-Gorath, Kaa-U the Accursed,[4] an ancient sunken city,[2] then a region in Asia,[citation needed] presumably located somewhere in present-day Tibet,[citation needed] that is best known as the location of the Crypts in which the bodies of both deceased Ancient Ones and deceased Sorcerer Supremes of the Earth continuum,[citation needed] including the Ancient One who was the mentor of Doctor Strange, are buried after their deaths.[citation needed]
Modern Age[]
In the Modern Age, the Shadowmen of Kaa-U served Shuma-Gorath, the Dread Lord of the Primal World.[4]Notes
- Kaa-U was created by Robert E. Howard in "The Shadow Kingom".[1]
- In its Marvel Comics adaptation, it was probably inspired by the likes of Atlantis, Lemuria, and the Cthulhu Mythos cities such as R'lyeh, as an lost and evil city from the past inhabited by minions serving an eldritch horror.
