Where to begin
Fiction
The Standard
Every entry in the Infernal Archive names what physically survives: the document, the object, the site, the register. Where the record goes silent, the entry says so and stops.
Fiction is bound under The Realms, and each volume says on its own page that it is invented.
Illustrations are reconstructions, and every volume says so.
Riddles & Realms does not flinch, and does not invent.
The Infernal Archive
An open-ended record
A story appears in one volume only. Each entry names what physically survives, and where the record goes silent it says so.
Volume III
The Tyrants
Mapped
House Gear
Watch
The record, one minute at a time. The books are where the same research gets room to breathe.
