The above engraving, recovered from the Tower of London, purportedly depicting the original SCP-XXXX manuscript.

Special Containment Procedures: The original SCP-XXXX manuscript is to be contained within a standard safe level containment locker. The unit is to remain refrigerated between −30°C to −40°C to prevent moisture, biological pests, and mold from damaging the original SCP-XXXX manuscript. The original manuscript has been reproduced and copied digitally to the SCP-XXXX file, due to the fragility of the original manuscript. SCP-XXXX has remained within the possession of the British crown until repossession by the Foundation, thus negating the need for public censorship or cover compaigns.

Description: SCP-XXXX is the Foundation designation given to a seventeenth century manuscript, purportedly depicting the founding history of an unidentified, anomalous city-state. SCP-XXXX is an Eparch1 class item, possessing no known anomalous attributes. SCP-XXXX consists primarily of a long narrative poem, composed in English and written in blank verse, with individual parts seperated into cantos. Accompanying the poerty are lavish illustrations, drawn in a highly unorthodox style when compared to other period appropriate art and literature. SCP-XXXX is bookbound using birch boards covered in blackened parchment.


At the dawn at the end of our life, I found myself alone, without a God or fellow man, awaiting the journey into dusk, without a light in the wilderness, nor fellowship of pilgrims together, journeying into light and darkness.

From astray, how will that wilderness greet me when I awake cold, naked and without bread in my belly, with gnarl and savagery growth, into knot to this great wood?
