Rassilon's Scattered Clues Scrolls

A set of ancient parchment scrolls contained within a locked casket in the secret Game control room, these scrolls were deliberately scattered by Rassilon as testaments to his legacy. Their aged surfaces bear faint tracings of Manussan script, now deciphered by Borusa to reveal cosmic truths and political mechanisms. The Fifth Doctor recognizes their significance immediately, knowing they hold clues to Rassilon’s master plans and dead-man’s switches. Borusa’s mastery of their contents allows him to paralyze the Doctor’s will through the Coronet of Rassilon, weaponizing these fragments to enforce obedience.
