* '''Advice''' ({{Aspect|Edge|4}}, {{Aspect|Forge|2}}): Months ago, a prominent scholar of the occult was found murdered in his home, his body beaten to a pulp, spectacles missing. This missive was found nailed to his door. This is a reproduction, the original was almost immediately confiscated by the Bureau. Study Start: It appears to be a warning, against deviations from certain teachings. The writing is shaky, as if the author only learned to write recently. Its writing is blunt and to the point. ‘Remember the Ignition, and ware the Engine.’ Study Finish: It warns against betrayal, and of the rise of industry. It is both a warning, and a promise. Other movements have interpreted it as a protest against industry, pollution, or other such ills, but you see it for what it truly is.
* '''Between the Mountains''' ({{Aspect|Heart|8}}): The journal of one of the ill-fated settlers trapped in what would become known as The Valley of Teeth. This journal, stained with blood, chronicles their last moments of humanity. Study Start: ‘We began with those already dead. We had not left their bodies behind, for we thought to bury them when we arrived home, with their families. Now they will join their families, in a different way. We had no fire to cook them, so we began gnawing…’ Study Finish: ‘On the 7th day, he appeared before us, offering us words of praise, for we had done what few would dare, in order to survive. We howled and raged, for had he been there the whole time, watching us abandon our humanity, becoming animals!? We hate him so! One day we will catch him unawares and rip his salty flesh and drink his blood. But until then, we will follow.’ Found in The Valley of Teeth expedition.
   * '''A Censored Bible''' ({{Aspect|Lantern|6}}): An old, waterlogged King James bible. All except for one passage have been torn out. Some sections of the passage have been blotted out. The tear edges are sharp. Study Start: Job 41:'Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?...Will he make a covenant with thee?...None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?' Study End: ' By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning...Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.'
