History
Origin and early years
R'llyeh was a city in the Black Smokers' Trench[4][2] in the Pacific Ocean,[1] and the home of the Aqueos (often erroneously considered a vampiric offshoot of the Atlanteans).[2]
The Logomancer issued the theory that ancient beings possibly produced the writings on the walls of R'llyeh, which were imperfectly copied into books such the Necronomicon, the Oracles of Zoroaster, the Darkhold and other mystic scrolls and books,[2] the ancient "things" being possibly Chthon and a group of related demons.
Modern Age
Following the defeat of their leader, Thakorr, Namor claimed dominion over the city and reinstated the Shallow Peace, decreeing that the Aqueos shall no longer attack Atlanteans.[3]

Notes
- R'llyeh, first appeared in Namor: The First Mutant #3 (November 3, 2010), written by Stuart Moore and penciled by Ariel Olivetti and Fernando Blanco, is obviously patterned after R'lyeh, the underwater city created by H.P. Lovecraft in "The Call of Cthulhu" (Weird Tales; February, 1928)
- In King in Black: Namor #2 (December 30, 2020), R'lyeh was first depicted, and tied to the Great Old Ones and the Aqueos. Nevertheless, it remains unknown whether or not R'lyeh and R'llyeh are the same.
