The "Pnomian pantheon" is what I've settled on calling the group of gods in the writings of Clark Ashton Smith. His gods (such as Tsathoggua) are usually grouped under the Cthulhu Mythos, which I don't think is a problem; however, I find it kind of hard to talk about his work alone, so I'm going to call it the "Pnomian pantheon," after the Parchments of Pnom: a manuscript by "the chief Hyperborean genealogist as well as a noted prophet."[1][2]
Again, many (if not all) of these gods are also grouped under the Cthulhu Mythos, so you're obviously going to see some repetition.
Spelling
It seems like everyone and their grandma has their own spelling of CAS's gods. I have no clue where to turn for authority on this. It's kind of a free-for-all.
