MORRISON FAMILY

The Morrison Estate occupies a large wooded property several miles outside Ashmoor.

The primary structure is a Victorian Gothic mansion constructed over an older stone foundation.

The original foundation predates the official settlement of Ashmoor.

Architectural surveys have identified multiple underground levels beneath the mansion.

The Morrison Family claims these structures are abandoned.

Evidence suggests they are still in use.

The Morrison Family maintains a private library containing thousands of books, manuscripts, journals, maps, and unidentified objects.

Investigators discovered references to locations that cannot be found on any known map.

One manuscript contains the name:

The manuscript was dated approximately 700 years before the first known appearance of the name in Ashmoor records.

Beneath the Morrison Estate exists a laboratory dedicated to the study of anomalous phenomena.

Recovered notes indicate that the laboratory was originally built to study unusual electromagnetic activity beneath Ashmoor.

The research changed after the discovery of the Staff.

Scientists working in the facility reported that the Staff behaved less like an object and more like a living system.

The Morrison Family claims that they did not steal the Staff of Merlin.

The identity of the individual responsible for delivering the Staff remains unknown.

The original report contains one reference:

Investigators initially assumed this referred to one of the Gods of Reality.

A later annotation suggests that the individual may have been something else entirely.

For decades, the Morrison Family has attempted to develop a method of eliminating human violence.

Their solution is not education.

Their solution is not peace.

Their solution is control.

The author of this statement remains unidentified.
