2nd Verse of Hyskosa's Hexad comes to pass

"The lifeless child of stern mother found. Heralds a time, night of evil unbound."

The second verse of Hyskosa's Hexad, which describes the second sign to herald the coming of the Grand Conjunction, as foreseen by the Dukkar, Hyskosa.

In Ship of Horror, Madeline Stern dies giving birth to Morvan. Note that Night of the Walking Dead erroneously says that this verse refers to the child ghost of "Charlotte Stern," but in Ship of Horror, the only child ghost is Charlotte Reisland. Of course this means that it's actually the "stern mother" who is lifeless and not her "child," so the verse as written doesn't quite make sense. The easiest solution is to switch Charlotte and Madeline's surnames. Or one could invent an adoptive mother/daughter relationship between the two ghosts. As a last resort, the verse could be rewritten.
