The Realmwell Foundation

Overview
The Realmwell Foundation is the oldest and largest researching body for the Unknown in the United States, centered in Boston. They hold a collection of volumes written by their employees and founders totalling more than ten thousand books. Their resources have totalled more than ten million dollars, much of this amount going toward upkeep of tomes and travel costs for their agents.

Founding
Oliver Realmwell created the Realmwell Foundation following his arrival on the American shores. Having heard much of the strange encounters in the wilderness that was and - for some part of itself still is - North America, and having his own experience while sailing solo across the Atlantic, he created a foundation to catalogue and study the Unknown, or What Lies Behind, as he so eloquently referred to it.

Purpose
The mission of the Realmwell foundation has evolved somewhat over the years. Where at first the purpose of the Institute was the catalogue and attempt to explain the Unknown, the Foundation has gained a more active hand in the containment and occasional prevention of dangerous Unknown threats. This began with the case of Bagging Borie's Well.

Famous Cases
Many of the Foundation's cases have caught the eye of national news, adventurers or attention seekers. What follows is a list.

Bigfoot or Sasquatch - Oliver Realmwell saw the first ever evidence of Sasquatch in the forests of Indian territory near modern day Georgia, shortly after arriving in North America.

Historic Cases
Several cases that the foundation has covered have proven important to history. What follows is a list.

The Case of the Philadelphia Experiment - The Realmwell Foundation has loose ties to this instance in American history, although they revealed the incident to be a hoax, misunderstanding or lie.

Important Cases
The Realmwell Foundation has often covered cases vital to human survival and wellbeing. These are those cases. Bagging Borie's Well - The Realmwell Institute revealed within the well of Bagging Borie a tremendous potential for destruction, especially in the area that it was discovered, near Prayagraj, India. In order to protect the world from such destruction, the Realmwell Foundation, by investing money in important Russian projects, was able to shut down all the deepest drilling projects in the world. The most notable of these was the Kola Superdeep Borehole, which had dug around half way to Borie's Domain, at a depth of 40,000 feet. It was at this point that voices could be heard within the hole and the Realmwell Foundation paid to have the project shut down under the pretense that Earth heated to extreme temperatures long before expected.

The Furnace - The Furnace presented a near-inexorable event in Earth's timeline - the Burning. This was prevented by brave members of the Relmwell Foundation.
