Created By Director Erzahler
The following is a report conducted by Department Director of Folklore for Site-13, Director Hope, Who became increasingly interested in the "Hollows'" case after several young children went missing suddenly and unexpectedly near remote areas of Sweden, before inexplicably being discovered, unharmed days later, all of which occurred Subsequent to the discovery of HUGINN. Staff under Director Hope have been advised to tread carefully around her, due to her common emotional outbursts and tendency for sudden absences.
Profile Overview
HUGINN Refers to a seemingly innocuos and non-anomalous Raven of significant age. HUGINN's left eye appears absent of any visible pupil and has since been determined blind in that eye. Through minimal testing and few experiments, HUGINN appears capable of both cognitive speech and near-human intellect, as well as a notably advanced (Somewhat selective) photographic memory. Aside from this, HUGINN appears completely within the norm of standard, non-anomalous Ravens. HUGINN appears to contain a great fascination with the concept of orally-conducted stories, and has been known to narrate said stories continuously, often in strange and noticeably dark whimsical wording, this has recently led Attending staff at Site-13 to nicknames for the entity such as "Poe", "Edgar", "Grimm" or "Lovecraft". HUGINN Seems amused and partially flattered by the nicknames, apparently understanding the symbolisms, though insists on the title "HUGINN". Many of the stories told by HUGINN appear in no other work known' by the Repository, though with strong similarities to Norse and Swedish Mythology. One of the most noticeable recurring elements in HUGINN's tales is mentions of a forest known as "The Hollows" in which these stories purportedly took or will take place. When asked where this supposed "Forest" is located, HUGINN stated, "Were I to tell you, you might not comprehend. Not even I could truly formulate such inconsistent thoughts in my avian mind, you see. It is not a place in which you gain directions for, but a place you find when you have no directions." HUGINN is currently not contained or held at any facility, as, due to HUGINN's semi-cooperative nature, containment has been deemed unnecessary. And so an Archivist, accompanied by at least 1 security agent will be sent into a classified remote rendezvous point in the Swedish wilderness to conduct a meeting with HUGINN and catalogue any stories verbally recounted by HUGINN. A stenograph is also to be provided for the attending Archivist. Currently, the search for the Metaphysical Region known as "The Hollows" is still ongoing, and all tales from HUGINN are to be transcribed and placed into Text Files. No further actions, aside from standard Protocols, are to enacted against HUGINN
Documented Tales
A Study was conducted by Archivist Ezekiel under the request of Department Director Hope, and the transcribed documents have been linked to here, as well as detailed report on the general contents and overarching narrative of these stories.
After my immense study of these works, I have firstly concluded that the stories indeed feature odd and twisted retelling of warped versions of Norse and Swedish mythology and legends however, There additionally appears to be an inconsistency in the time period as well, as the so-called "Natives" mentioned are described in a manner more befitting the mid 17th century, as opposed to the era In which these legends were prominant. Normally, especially without further evidence, I would write this off as mad ramblings of some crazy bird, but my friend and colleague, Director Hope, insisted, so another look I did take. And after this further perusal, I did indeed find something to which I deemed groundbreaking. Many of his tales feature or mention certain events or entities well known by the Repository, though far lesser known by even other Organizations dealing in the anomalous. One such example might be SAP-022, as well as certain events or beings mentioned in the Annalen. These mentions alone gave me great confidence in the validity of these documents, though even more so after the recent and abundant cases of Missing Children in Rural Sweden. Finally, though, I would like to debunk any suspicions that HUGINN might have a hand or cause in these recent and concerning events. find the concept or idea that this entity is solely responsible for these occurrences to be personally preposterous, though I will not rule out the possibly of HUGINN being some form of Harbinger or Messenger of all this.
