Hyborian Age

Overview

Filed under register ME-1933-U94/3154; cite `hyborian-age` in all outbound correspondence.

Hyborian Age enters the archive under protest from reason and with sponsorship from repeated evidence.

We would delete Hyborian Age if deletion worked; instead we classify, cross-link, and warn.

Lovecraft's own prose — when he is the witness — should be read in the /library before this summary is trusted. Posthumous expansion (Derleth, Smith, Campbell, Wilson, and the game industry) enlarged the name without enlarging the proof; we mark those layers explicitly so students do not cite a 1981 module as 1928 fact.

The Library holds primary text; this dossier holds orientation — never the reverse.

Field Observations

Do not engage alone; two witnesses minimum, three preferred if the name was spoken aloud.

If dreams arrive with the weight of memory for places never visited, terminate contact.

Cross-reference before fieldwork; cite slug in all reports; do not bring back souvenirs that pulse.
