It's time to meet your Neighbors

It started with one person with an open heart and an open mind.

 

She believed that there is more to this world, something that is beyond our understanding. She became aware of her surroundings, she found more to what's going around us when most cannot see. Strange shapes begin to form, she can hear them speak. Like everyone else, she became afraid until a small variant of the unseen folk shown her the hidden system within nature. She later found more of those who have seen the creatures, and they shared their stories underground. She, like many others, wanted to reach out to other Witnesses and asked them these questions:

 

Have you experienced strange things in your life, something that cannot be explained? Does ordinary objects around you gradually morph into something else or display weird behaviors? Do you notice people suddenly displaying odd behaviors, such as going into trances or repeating numbers, and won't recall anything after gaining consciousness? Do you see bizarre creatures at a glance, and disappear when you notice them? Chances are that you are also a Witness like him. A handful of individuals around the world had seen these invisible beings,called Borderlings upon agreement. Most of humankind had seen vaguely-shaped shadows and clouds of fog, or nothing at all. They can even see residue left by these creatures before they left. There are no physical signs that one can be a Witness, and they coexist without anyone knowing. A Witness can be among the crowd or ordinary people, having a cup of coffee early in the morning.

 The Borderlings are too numerous to count, and they exist everywhere on Earth. They are known in myths, urban legends and folklore, both old and new. Further inspection shows that they existed before humankind, millions of years ago, and they evolve and adapt just like animals on Earth. Speculation shows they are still evolving to this day, with newer Borderlings discovered every now and then.

How they appear, and how they affect our world, depends on the species. Signs of Borderling activity vary on time and location, and can affect people, fauna, and even inanimate objects such as machines. They usually generate out of nowhere, but can travel through portals if necessary. They can manifest themselves in front of a single or group of people, and sometimes on request. A Borderling spotting always follow with an anomaly, causing confusion and fear. While present, they permanently or temporarily alter their surroundings: Human and animal behavioral patterns alter, television signals jam to show strange imagery, portals to another world appear where a living room should be. Did you experience an incident or two in your lifetime?

 The Cassoscriptum Codex, a collaborated project made by the underground Witnesses, is a growing field guide given to others who have interests in knowing their Neighbors, and where to find them. As long as the Ghost Writers write, and as long as we have the curiosity to discover these creatures, there will be more pages and more chapters. Even the neighborhood Borderlings are interested in helping, providing enough information, artwork and pictures to complete the book.

​

These entries are added within updates to the website. The more Borderlings we encounter, the more pages are added to the Codex. Through years, the book has gone through different iterations and improvements until we agree that it's finalized. We walk alongside you.

Here are the types of Borderlings to watch out for,
and how they affect our world.

ISB enforcer 1.png

Enforcers: Protectors of places, people and things. They can also act as enforcers of karma.

ISB Radial.png

Radial Effects: Boundless, they can affect anyone and anything who gets close to them.

ISB Provider.png

Providers: Tireless workers, they bring good and bad things, and sometimes work with Enforcers.

ISB Gated.png

Gated Effects: When inside a gated enclosure, they manipulate their surroundings.

ISB Server.png

Servers: Servants to humans, animals and other Borderlings. When needed, they will work with you.

ISB Total.png

Total Effects: Inside a fully-enclosed area, such as a room, their abilities take effect.

ISB Observer.png

Observers: They can only watch the world around them. At times, they can manipulate the world to their liking.

ISB Contact.png

Contact Effects: With no outwardly effects, they can only touch, bite, or wound you.

Threat

Levels:

• Safe, easy to approach  •• Approachable, but stay cautious  ••• Moderate, can be harmful  •••• Dangerous, potentially harmful  ••••• A Super-hazard, avoid!

 

 A Borderling rarely has any dual-typing, such as one being both an Observer and an Enforcer. Because of this, they can be more unpredictable than the mono-typed Borderlings, and usually have a higher threat level. This doesn't apply to Effects, as one was never observed to have both Total and Contact Effects. They can give off an impression of one, but won't have these effects when outside their boundaries.

The Cassoscriptum Codex

 

 Named after the Borderling that inspired us, we had shared our encounters in secret. Without anyone knowing, we document their appearances and behaviors, so other Witnesses would know of their existence. However, we believe that the world would ridicule us for believing in these mostly invisible beings. Because of this unsettling fact about society, we keep our identity secret but our works known. We became like the Borderlings themselves; we can be anywhere at anytime, blending with the rest of humankind.
