Field notes
The project organizes its material into eight volumes, including The Black Earth, The Long Rain, and The Hundred Nights, with page counts assigned to each. Its central fictional protocol separates the creature’s likeness from its description: images remain on the vellum pages while words are preserved in ledgers elsewhere. The homepage also identifies five Apocrypha pages and says a related card game is being assembled one card at a time.
