Overview
Miskatonic seal ME-1932-T40/8455 binds this packet; duplicate citations must use slug `the-mound`.
The incident titled The Mound is filed under fiction because the alternative filing — fact — would close several departments.
1940 revision of Bishop's K'n-yan, Yoth, and Tsathoggua under Oklahoma.
Period attestation: lovecraft-1920s.
If the name appears in dreams three nights running, withdraw from the case and request audit.
Description
Panfilo de Zamacona's manuscript frames centuries of underground history.
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.
Narrative Record
Explains blue-light civilization and moral collapse.
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.
The Library holds primary text; this dossier holds orientation — never the reverse.
Archive Notes
