Set of 37 nearly identical rough-cut stone tablets of unknown age, part of a collection of 106 items donated by the estate of Doctor George Easom. These tablets were allegedly found during a dig at ██████████ in October of 1957 and remained in the donor’s private collection until his death in early 2018.

The condition of each tablet varies, but all contain a depiction that Dr. Easom assumed to be a religious figure resembling a beetle atop a series of lines, and an inscription whose language varies, most of which have yet to be translated but are thought to be an as-of-yet undecipherable notation for a song used in worship.

An identical design discovered adorning the wall of a dig site was brought to the attention of Dr. Easom in 2015; unfortunately despite his enthusiasm for the subject, the advanced state of his illness combined with threats from armed forces in the region prevented the doctor from studying it firsthand within his lifetime, which the doctor would call one of his biggest regrets - alongside “not asking [his] wife to marry him sooner”, and “putting a small fortune on Spain in 1982″ - and he would describe his yearning for the digsite and its mysteries as being so great that he would dream of it in vivid detail through the final years of his life, and he was reported to have taken an interest in music theory to ensure that he would be the one to “resurrect that ol’ [sic] hymn after it laid silent for a thousand thousand years!”

Unfortunately, the dig site was assumed to be destroyed by the ████████ army in late 2018, and the outbreaks of famine an disease that followed as a result of this instability have prevented archaeologists from resuming their study of the site for the forseeable future.

These items are scheduled to be a part of an exhibition dedicated to Dr. Easom’s work with our institution starting on 10/12/23. It was his hope this exhibit will inspire the next generation of explorers and archaeologists to see these mysteries solved.

The captain stood grim-faced as his crew performed their ritual, chanting Her name as they threw it overboard, an offering of the goddess’ own flesh - the last of their rations - to calm the storm. A matter of due respect, and an act of supplication. A promise that, though they meant to join her later rather than sooner, join her they would. She was the most fair of the sea’s deities, after all, and the most predictable, and the most merciful.

A life for a life. Dreams of rot, darkness, and cold until the day they died in exchange for a chance to see their loved ones once more.

Her flesh would feed Her children, as easily as theirs would have. The same fate that was now in store for them when She finally claimed Her due.
