The Board

Tucked out of sight in Sam Wilson's home in Cadens, this wooden board has a variety of notes, diagrams, and other scribblings pinned to it. Some are in ink, others in charcoal or (later) pencil. The handwriting appears to belong to two people: a more modern-looking hand (Sam's) and the other an older type of script (Geralt's). Sam has written the majority of what's pinned up; his notes are more comprehensive, though the subject matters are largely confusing. Items written in Geralt's hand are near impossible to decipher on their own. The lettering is perfectly clear. It's just not meant for anyone other than those already in the know. If you thought he could not possibly be more brief than he already is in conversation, he's somehow worse in writing. Good luck making out half the shit he's got up there.

Broadly, the notes added to the board appear to be related to the Singularity, monoliths, the multiverse, the summonings, and other nebulous concepts. Sam's kept it from prying eyes less out of secrecy and more because it's just a damn mess that's impossible to explain at this point.

Contents can be found in the comments below. Trusted CR belonging to either Geralt or Sam—especially those who live with or visit Sam's home frequently—are all free to have stumbled over and know of the board's existence, and to make their own contributions. Just tack on a comment of your own on this post at any time! Feel free to shitpost here and there, but this is technically work and the board only has so much room—anything irrelevant, Geralt is likely to toss, and if you stick too much random shit on he's going to tell you to stop fucking about, if Sam doesn't first. But it'll be seen while it's there.

[ A series of initials fill this page, alongside a number. This is, in fact, tracking the disappearing Summoned in Abraxas, post-escape, that they are aware of using 01, 15, or 30 to indicate whether it likely occurred early, mid, or end of a certain month. (These aren't meant to be dates so much as a shorthand for an estimated point in time; as such, no acknowledgment that some months have 31 or 28 days exists. They're all denoted with 30.) A few of the initials do not line up—an unexplained system has been used for those who have unknown last names. Sam knows what it means, Geralt knows, so the consistency is unimportant. Returns and subsequent disappearances are also noted. The last few entries switch between black or blue ink or pencil, suggesting this list is being updated. It is all in Geralt's writing, though. ]

[ A piece of parchment tacked next to this list contains a seemingly random assortment of letters. These are folk who are unaccounted for, but are either 1) not yet confirmed present or missing; or 2) he and Sam both had too little contact with to even approximate when they would've vanished. They are all from Cadens. Thorne or Solvunn are impossible to track unless he or Sam are told or they have close ties. ]

¹ He knows exactly when Rinwell vanished, but it's not really a date he'll forget either way. She's been recorded no different than the others on the page.

² Geralt has not differentiated between Jon Snow and Jon Sims. Context will have to suffice.
