Hyperborea
Hyperborea — a mythos location; coordinates disputed, testimony consistent in mood. Register ME-1920-H78/2860.
Overview
Miskatonic seal ME-1920-H78/2860 binds this packet; duplicate citations must use slug `hyperborea`.
Survivors of Hyperborea disagree on weather, century, and compass bearing — agreement on dread is nearly unanimous.
Clark Ashton Smith's polar continent of Lomar, Voormithadreth, and dying civilizations.
Period attestation: lovecraft-1920s.
What sleeps is not dead; what is catalogued here may be doing neither.
Description
Eibon and the Book of Eibon originate here before ice claimed the cities.
Sensory reports conflict in detail — scale, colour, limb count — yet agree that the phenomenon offends proportion.
Olfactory notes in depositions: salt, copper, wet stone, and organic sweetness like fruit fermenting in a closed room.
Historical Record
Shared loosely with Lovecraft's prehuman earth; dates do not align—cite author.
Post-1937 pastiche and game supplements multiplied references; the archive tags those layers expanded mythos unless a primary citation is supplied.
Cross-links at dossier foot should be treated as hypotheses, not as family trees carved in stone.
Field Observations
Do not engage alone; do not accept hospitality from hosts who show windows to other eras.
Submit Form Theta-9 if conversation turns to cities remembered only in sleep.
Cross-reference before fieldwork; cite slug in all reports; do not bring back souvenirs that pulse.
Archive Notes
Cite archive slug `hyperborea` in all cross-references. Cross-reference before fieldwork; cite slug in all reports; do not bring back souvenirs that pulse.
