The Pyrexian documents are the papers recovered in the Descent from the operations of the Pyrexian cult beneath Paris: a map of Paris in 1898, a tactical diagram, and a fragment of Pyrexian script.

The map

The map of Paris 1898 bears five red crosses — one per bomb, per brazier, per cultist — on the nodes of the underground ossuary, around churches, pantheons and catacombs (Catacombs of Paris) where the Pyrexians coordinate the detonation network. Read carefully, it shows where everything will explode and in what order; those who find it may still be in time to disarm the network.

The diagram

It shows sequence, priority and dependencies among the five points: not a street map but a map of time, the order in which things must burn.

The script fragment

Calligraphy in the cult’s own magigraphy. It is not read through vocabulary; it is felt burning by whoever stares at it, and marks the cult’s hand behind the operation.
