The Hyperborean Scrolls originates in Return to Dunwich (Supplement).

Description

A set of fragile scrolls, possibly recently transcribed, photographed, or repaired, which originated in an ancient Hyperborean colony in what is now Dunwich, containing writings on a variety of unguessable mundane subjects relating to everyday life in the colony (ceremonial culture, law, religion, agriculture, record-keeping, etc.), plus a few scrolls relevant to Hyperborean science which, though untranslatable to English, may import a great deal of valuable information on lost technologies.
