Keeper Notes

• The account portrayed in this tome would most likely appear on the surface to be a skeptical and mundane version of the story, with a "fringe" reputation as a "cover-up" of the "truth". There may be some "mythos" knowledge and truth to be gained from a careful reading between the lines and some additional detective work with other sources (such as interviews with live witnesses to the events, diary accounts, the equally dubious work of conspiracy theorists, etc.)
