The Orientation Desk:
You have reached the public intake point of the Haunted Quill Archive.
Some files are available for open reading. Others are restricted. Many are incomplete, damaged, or contradictory. You are not expected to understand everything at once.
This archive documents disturbances, locations, correspondences, and anomalies connected to multiple intersecting histories. Files are released out of chronological order. Some materials surface before they are fully understood.
Begin slowly. Follow what holds your attention.
Choose Your Access Credential
The archive issues credentials, not instructions. Select the level of access that best reflects how you wish to proceed. You may change your approach at any time.
