Hello! I have a question about the Jerius Wynak entries inside the cover of "In Search of Sanity" Are those entries actual notes left by that Pathfinder agent that the PCs could find within the Asylum? or a journal written by Jerius, kept at other locations like Abasolom or Caliphas? I feel like I should be sharing these with my players during the game as handouts... (but I don't want to break that fourth wall too much...)
Thank you!

I didn't share them with my players. I feared that it would lead them to try to find the pathfinder, investigate the named places too early, or otherwise divert the narrative.
We're in book 3, and I think I played it right; not having those place names to ask about has kept them on the railroad that leads to Cassomir rather than bypassing it and heading straight to book 5 or 6.
Though I sorta wish I had yoinked the pictures to use as props for Zandalus...

I was googling imagery I could use for inspiration/handouts for my players, and found this artist, Michael Hutter, who did a whole series of paintings based on Carcosa. I picked sixteen that I really liked, and printed them out. Then I googled "magic circle" and found some sufficiently arcane looking design, chopped it into sixteen sections, and printed one on the back of each of the paintings I'd printed out, then scattered them throughout Briarstone. Once the players had collected all sixteen, they had to reassemble the circle on the back to get a minor magic text as a reward.

Great advice! I used several of Hutter's paintings to be the drawings of Zandalus in Lasandro's office when I ran it tonight.
