Try this link out - http://ac2.warcry.com/compendium/lore/search/search.php

I know the above link is from AC2 CoD site but it's the best I can come up with atm that gives you references to look up. It has info related to both AC1 and AC2 about the Old Ones.

edit: oops, I forgot to mention type in Old Ones in the search field

I searched through some stuff on the AC Waycry site and found a few references:

We had this entry in our Lore-Creatures Database (http://ac.warcry.com/index.php3?content=lore/glossary/creatures)
These godlike creatures are also referred to as the Great Ones or simply as the witch-gods. They were worshipped by the Falatacot and even many Dericost. Currently they are said to be "asleep," but Falatacot prophesies suggest they may reawaken some day. Some signs of such a reawakening have arrived with the emergence of the slithis, which are reportedly the Old Ones' children. An adult is the size of a mountain.

I also seem to remember one of the Devs saying that the Old Ones were Lovecraft inspired. I will try to find out who said that, possibly Stormwatz?
