The Severed Lineage of Wyndmoor Spire
Wyndmoor Spire, a massive Victorian mansion completed in 1890, was the home of the reclusive but powerful genealogist, Sir Alistair Wyndmoor. The house served as the private, regional clearing office for Wyndmoor’s entire peerage and lineage verification operation until 1899, when Wyndmoor’s career collapsed following a massive, undisclosed scandal regarding the legitimacy of a noble heir. The house was seized and immediately sealed. The genealogical core of the mystery centers on the Registry Keeper, Mr. Julian Vane, who managed all of Wyndmoor’s private and corporate lineage documentation. His professional records—the Birth Registers, Marriage Certificates, and Lineage Scrolls—should have provided a definitive trail for the fraudulent claim that preceded the collapse. Instead, the surviving archive is a study in contradiction, with large, systematic blocks of documentation entirely Missing and the few remaining records pointing to an Unverified lineage event that was purposefully Severed from the official account.
The Unverified Marriage Certificates
The Registry Keeper was required to maintain meticulous Lineage Scrolls and keep sequential Birth Registers and Marriage Certificates to track the official family tree. The fact that the Marriage Certificates—which would identify the true union and legitimise the heir—are entirely Missing is a profound historical Severed gap. Furthermore, the complete Missing status of the Birth Registers—which would have certified the exact date and parentage of the heir—proves that the legal documentation was also entirely suppressed. The only surviving documents are the few ambiguous Lineage Scrolls with their “Unverified” entries and the scattering of torn Birth Register fragments, which suggest the Registry Keeper abandoned his work mid-process. The systematic removal of the core documents proves that the entire record of the scandal was deliberately Severed, ensuring the specific circumstances and legal liability remained Unverified from the official account.
