File #7777-4 - The Emerald Throne
Filing Organization: The Pathfinders
File #: 7777-4
Class: Dangerous
Containment Procedure(s): Reinforce existing containment. Do not allow any further sacrifices to be made in the entity’s name.
Description: According to Omniscient Dawn records, the Seven Pillars are a collection of Old World containment procedures scattered across the continent. Each “pillar” is a metaphysical manifestation of a specially designed prison that restrains an entity from the ███ █████ from breaching the Mortal Realm.
7777-4, “The Emerald Throne,” is an oddity in the Pillars. While the others are fully contained in their obelisks, 7777-4 is at large, having escaped containment sometime during the War. It is believed that this is due to interference by the ███████ █████, who are believed to have discovered the Pillar in 2222 AU and fallen to the Emerald Throne’s influence. 7777-4 is highly manipulative, and goes by many names and faces to convince Mortals to carry out its bidding.
Known aliases include Cain, ████ ███████, Randall Flagg, the God of a Thousand Forms, Harlan Guthrie, the Masked Messenger, the Mouth of ███████, Nyarlathotep, Ng'yehaer'llw'aetaght'litagehph, the ██████ Man.
The Pathfinders became aware of the entity’s breach in containment when six agents undercover in Aurelia encountered it near the border to the Red Mountains (see Log #1-12). Following their encounter, it is believed that the entity has trapped itself in one of its disguises, and is unable to return to its original form.
Addendum 7777-4A: 7777-4 is now classified as contained following the events of team Sun & Sea’s encounter with the entity, detailed in Logs #1-12.
Addendum 7777-4B: From Watcher Khorvis. Logs #1-10 and #12 are unintelligible. I have tried every cypher in the Pathfinder’s codex to break a potential code, but none have proven successful. Something has rendered these logs unsalvageable, reduced to nonsensical gibberish.
While this could be an affect of the Pathways, I am skeptical of that explanation. From what I gather, the Emerald Throne has a reputation as a deceiver and tempter of Mortals. The only available log marks the entity contained, and I find that too convenient. I worry what details were lost, especially in the final log. Investigate with caution.
Addendum 7777-4C: 7777-4 has been successfully contained within the obsidian obelisk beneath Carthelian Estate.
Log #11
The other members of Sun & Sea are dead. I am all that remains, though I am not long for this world; my wounds sustained in the fire will not heal. I am going to strike the ███████ where they will expect it least, at their heart, at the dread altar that masks the obelisk.I write this from the foothills nearby as they gather for their next ritual. I fear that this may be the one that will enable the Emerald Throne’s ascension. I will stop it at any cost.
This may be my final log. If you do not hear from me again, assume I am successful; for while I may be dead, that you are alive at all to wonder about me means I achieved my task. And if I have failed… may the Sands be kind.
