The First Passage

was discovered in '23 when a local man reported a howling sound among the rocks at Efil Gorge along a barren stretch of the Grenik Highway. The man had been going after a stray animal when he heard the noise and reported it to the information division who referred it to our office. Professor Jeffreies was in charge of the survey of the area and made a note to investigate. On the morning of the 14th of October, Jefferies and a small crew approached and spent an hour searching for possible sources of the reported sound. An assistant displaced some stones while manuevering on the slope and revealed a small opening that was connected to the greater shaft. The party worked together to clear the opening, which was discovered to be an artificial stone-reinforced conduit, rectangular with a height of 3.13 ft. and a width of 5.76 ft. After the initial excavation cleared the way, Professor Jeffreys entered and progressed along the conduit for approx. 17 yards, at which point the conduit joined the much larger passage designated "1". It was at this point also that the book (Artifact 1A) was discovered by Professor Geoffereies. Retrieving the journal, Jefries returned to the entrance. The writing of the book is exactly as is written here in this document, which is a perfect copy. THE END
