[[>]] [[module Rate]] [[<]] Item #: SCP-8322 Object Class: Euclid Special Containment Procedures: SCP-8322 is to be contained in a specially designed cell at Site-██, which must replicate a 13th-century medieval royal room. The room must be furnished with period-appropriate artifacts and equipped with standard containment measures. Interaction with SCP-8322 is to be limited to authorized personnel, and only under supervision. Under no circumstances should SCP-8322 be allowed to summon entities outside of controlled testing scenarios. Any attempt to communicate with SCP-8322 must be approached with extreme caution, as its unpredictability and demeanor may affect the emotional state of those who engage with it. Appearance: SCP-8322 has brown hair and blue eyes. He stands at 180 cm tall and weighs 65 kg. His appearance is youthful, though he is 787 years old. He is always seen wearing loyal clothes, a regal and refined outfit fitting for a 13th-century prince. Description: SCP-8322, also known as Prince Linderot, appears to be a 17-year-old male of Scandinavian descent, though records suggest that it is, in fact, 787 years old. SCP-8322 presents itself as the former prince of a medieval kingdom, though it is unclear whether this kingdom ever existed in a historical context. The entity’s attire and physical appearance align with that of a European prince from the 13th century, possessing traits of nobility and elegance. SCP-8322’s abilities include the power to summon and command up to 20 randomly assigned medieval soldiers, which are to be considered as part of the entity’s anomalous capabilities. These soldiers are manifestations of an unknown origin, obedient to SCP-8322 without question. Furthermore, SCP-8322 is capable of conjuring a golden Excalibur-like sword and golden armor, artifacts of immense power that are theorized to be tied to its origin or personal history. Despite its potential for danger, SCP-8322’s personality is largely non-confrontational. It avoids violence and prefers solitude, often retreating to its containment room when disturbed. SCP-8322 is described as highly intelligent, kind-hearted, and deeply avoidant of conflict. However, when the entity is placed in situations of distress or threat, it has been known to demonstrate remarkable tactical and strategic thinking, as well as skill at manipulating individuals without them knowing it, after it speaks to them. SCP-8322‘s understanding of time and modern concepts is limited, as it originates from a period far removed from the present day. It appears unaware of the SCP Foundation and the modern world, often confusing contemporary items and technologies with those from its time. Interaction with SCP-8322 may result in moments of confusion, as well as a strong desire to return to its royal life in the past. Addendum 8322-A: Interaction with Modern Technology Date: ██/██/2025 Description: SCP-8322 was shown a modern tablet with a video of the outside world, including images of cities, vehicles, and current global events. SCP-8322 appeared confused but intrigued, asking several questions about the “wheeled carriages” and “stone cities without walls.” When shown a video of an airplane, SCP-8322 became agitated, exclaiming that “no kingdom should allow such creatures in the skies.” Interview Extract: SCP-8322: “You tell me that such beasts are capable of flight? What sorcery is this? I… I know not of such things! No crown, no ruler would allow these strange things to exist… What is this ‘air’ you speak of? Is this magic?” Dr. Carter: “It’s not magic. It’s science. The world has changed a lot since your time.” SCP-8322: “Science? Is it the science of the gods? No… this cannot be true. This… this is witchcraft!” After-action Report: SCP-8322‘s reaction to modern technology was one of confusion and disbelief, with a strong emotional rejection of anything that did not conform to its understanding of the world. This suggests that SCP-8322 has limited knowledge of science, technology, or any developments after its time. Its refusal to accept modern advancements may indicate a psychological barrier against acknowledging the passage of time. Recommendations: Limit exposure of SCP-8322 to modern technology to prevent further distress. Continue to explore SCP-8322‘s understanding of time, focusing on potential psychological effects caused by the contrast between its memories and current reality. Note from Dr. ████: SCP-8322 may appear harmless, but its power to manipulate soldiers and command a highly dangerous artifact should not be underestimated. Interview Log 8322-1 Date: ██/██/2025 Interviewer: Dr. Elias Carter Interviewed: SCP-8322 Location: Site-██, Containment Cell 8322 [BEGIN LOG] (The camera feed activates, showing a medieval-style containment chamber. SCP-8322 sits on an ornate wooden chair, gazing at the wall. He appears calm but slightly tense. Dr. Carter enters the room, he takes a seat across from SCP-8322.) Dr. Carter: Good evening, SCP-8322. My name is Dr. Elias Carter. I’ll be asking you some questions today. SCP-8322: (Pauses, then tilts his head slightly) That is quite the name, Doctor… Elias, was it? It does not sound like one of my subjects. Dr. Carter: That’s because I am not one of your subjects. You are currently in the custody of the SCP Foundation. Do you know why you are here? SCP-8322: (Leans back, adjusting his posture) I was in my chambers, then suddenly taken by strange men clad in blackened armor. I was blindfolded, shackled—treated as a criminal! Do you treat all royalty this way? Dr. Carter: We had to ensure your containment was secure. You are not a criminal, but your abilities pose a potential risk. SCP-8322: (Scoffs) My abilities? You mean my knights? You fear them? (Chuckles) They are but loyal men of the kingdom, sworn to serve their prince. They would not attack without my word. Dr. Carter: And yet, they appear from thin air, fully armed. That is not normal. SCP-8322: (Narrows eyes) Not normal? Do you jest? Every kingdom has its warriors. Does your kingdom not summon its own? Dr. Carter: My ‘kingdom’ does not work that way. We do not summon soldiers. SCP-8322: (Looks perplexed) Then how do you defend your lands? You rely on… (pauses) magic? Alchemy? Dr. Carter: Technology. Machines. Things far beyond what you understand. SCP-8322: (Leans forward) A world without soldiers? Without knights? How strange… (pauses, then frowns) And what of my own kingdom? Where is it? Dr. Carter: That’s something we’re trying to determine. According to our records, there was no Prince Linderot of Sweden in the 13th century. SCP-8322: (Eyes widen, then laughs) Ha! What foolishness! Are you implying my kingdom never existed? I ruled from my halls, I walked the stone paths of my castle, I spoke with my people! Dr. Carter: I’m not saying you didn’t experience those things, but we have no historical evidence of you or your rule. SCP-8322: (Expression darkens) Then your records are flawed. I am Prince Linderot, rightful heir to the throne. I remember my childhood, my court, my—(pauses, looking away) My home… Dr. Carter: (Notices SCP-8322‘s shift in demeanor) You miss it, don’t you? SCP-8322: (Quietly) A prince without a kingdom… is he still a prince? Dr. Carter: That depends. Do you still consider yourself one? SCP-8322: (Sits in silence for several seconds) …Yes. Yes, I do. You may strip me of my halls, my title, even my name, but I know who I am. Dr. Carter: (Nods) Very well. We’ll continue this discussion later. For now, is there anything you require for your quarters? SCP-8322: (Thinks for a moment) Books. Nothing of this—(gestures vaguely)—strange world. I wish for the works of poets, of historians. Something to remind me of home. Dr. Carter: I’ll see what I can do. Thank you for your time, SCP-8322. (Dr. Carter stands and exits the room. SCP-8322 remains seated, staring at the floor. The feed cuts to black.) [END LOG] Note on Interview Log 8322-1 The first recorded interview with SCP-8322 provided insight into its personality, beliefs, and emotional state. SCP-8322 maintains a strong conviction in its royal status and expresses confusion regarding modern concepts. It also shows signs of distress when confronted with the possibility that its kingdom may no longer exist. Notably, SCP-8322‘s ability to summon armed knights is perceived as natural by the entity, further suggesting a psychological disconnect between its perceived reality and the modern world. The subject requested historical literature, which may indicate a desire to hold onto its past rather than accept its current circumstances. Further interviews are recommended to assess SCP-8322‘s adaptation to containment and explore the origins of its anomalous abilities
