Lick It to Know It!
The Archivist’s Secrets Revealed
For centuries, forbidden knowledge has been trapped in books, relics, and—most frustratingly—skulls.
Traditional study methods are slow. Inefficient. Boring. But what if there were a faster way?
The Archivist of the Cimmerian Cult believes there is. His controversial technique—known simply as “Contact Assimilation”—involves direct interaction between the seeker and the artifact.
Moist interaction provides the best transmission.
Yes. Lick the artifact.
Early findings suggest that proper tongue to artifact contact yields:
- increased knowledge retention
- mild hallucinations
- occasional personality blending with the deceased
Critics have raised concerns.
The Archivist has licked those concerns and moved on.
Note: this article was not approved by the Grand Disciple and does not reflect the opinions of the Cimmerian Cult.
