Description
The records waver between “box” and “barrel”. Its contents and purpose are not revealed; it is not opened within the stretch that names it. It is distinct from the zirconium, the smaller, very hard blue stone the Order wakes with blood. It appears in the same days as the first signs of Antonio Portet’s instability; the batrachian brotherhood of the islands (Esoteric Order of Dagon) has sealed objects of its own.
Open questions
- What it contains, what it is for, and whether it stays buried.
