New England incidents teach a rhythm: polite towns, old families, water or hills that smell wrong, then a paper trail ending in sanitariums. La maschera di Cthulhu may or may not follow that rhythm — check dates before you blame Cthulhu for a Vermont landslide.

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

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.

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