The Curator’s record

The marker represents the four brothers as one Reliquary entry, preserving the ensemble named in their Tale.

Provenance

Rollo, Theodore, Ned, and Phineas were buried together beneath one stone. Their spirits rose in song and briefly held a visitor named David near the grave.

Observed activity

Four spectral figures may gather around the marker and perform their ballad. A listener who remains too near may find departure unusually difficult until the performance releases them.

The Ballad Of The Musical Four

Season 1 · Episode 05

In tonight's story, we venture to the fog-shrouded town of Massapequa, where a chilling legend lingers in the air.
