The Disappearance of the Twin Cities

The party was previously roped into a widesweeping investigation on behalf of Breach who was engaged in a frantic battle against kytons on the Shadow Plane. One Breach agent mentioned to Calder that the kytons were trying much harder than usual to “save us”. There were several unusual trends on the material plane: 1) people were disappearing all over the cities, in Busura it was a large number of people, mostly children, in Al’Jira a small number of adults of varying professions. 2) A worrying number of people developer total amnesia 3) an intellegent zombie was discovered working as a night watchmen and was slain immediatly. The party was in the process of tracking down where the children were being taken when they blundered into another universe, except for Calder Black. Calder continued the investigation on his on, and then with Barri and discovered that a daemonic priest was kidnapping them and leaving them in the care of a mostly benign undead orphanage master in a ramshackle building inside the city. The priest was killed. The orphan master was killed, the children were released into the streets, save for the undead ones, who Barri adopted. They declared the investigation complete and began planning their raid on the Dark Priest. The cities vanished about a month later, leaving behind only a massice stone slap with a single symbol carved on it. Later, the Bishop of Nemes threw out a bunch of doomsayers from his lands and only afterwards learned from his ghoul priests that they may be far more fangrrous than they seemed and potentially responsible for the Twin Cities disappearance. The Bishop passed the warning along to General Vandeemer and several cultists were captured in Fort Rather and several more were apprehended and put death in the town of Hope.
