Although badly faded, this medieval manuscript (the so-called "Red Charter")) indicates some relationship between Lovecraft and The Rubrics. See also Posthumous holography of H. P. Lovecraft.

The Rubrics were an ancient tribe of warriors who worshiped the color red.

Scholars have speculated that Swift hired the Rubrics, or used the Rubrics in some way, to carry out the blood sacrifice of Lovecraft.
