Do you think Jonah was first Eye avatar starting his own Institute or that he copied someone’s else idea? I mean yes the classification of fears was put together by Smirke but the Entities and their avatars existed long time before.

We know that US version of Magnus instute is Usher Foundation in Washington DC founded some time after 1952.

And also that China version of Magnus instute is Pu Songling Research Centre in Beijing.

We also know that Magnus instute has certain amount of connections with both of the institutions.

At first I wanted to speculate how much the institutions know or ate interested in his plans because of course it would be kinda funny if other servants of the Beholding were more interested in knowing for a sake of knowing and saw Jonah|Elias as that annoying self absorb british prick…

But upon closer examination of the little lore about other supernatural research organization we have there’s also this part:

Jonah|Elias was discussing his Archivist with other servants of the Beholding which implies they are at least approving his plans for Watcher’s Crown if not actively helping him.

However the question still stands. Was Jonah the first start an Institute and did he helped found the others? Did he copy the idea? Were these institutions created independently on each other and decide to cooperate because of having same patron and the same goal?

I haven’t seen lately any discussion about this topic which is shame there is really quit a lot of potential…
