Events
January Upon the suggestion of Ambrose Skully, Professor Viktor Hazan, Dr. Anthony Reuland, and a number of others from the Ste. Ronges Cell of the Fraternity of Shadows settle down in La Maison Soulombre, a lonely plantation outside of Port d'Elhour. Led by Hazan, they begin the hunt for the traitorous Erik van Rijn in Souragne.[1] Later that month, Anton Misroi calls them to his presence, where they proceed to strike a truce with each other.[2]- (Transpossession Temptation Dread Possibility) In this year or shortly before, Colin Graben finds a cache of notes in Egertus. The notes mention the Apparatus as sought by a man known only as "M".[3]
- In this year at the latest (and in 755 BC at the earliest), Tavelia resurfaces on Liffe under the guise of Baroness Liae Tva Kolsson, wife of Baron Rognavold Kolsson. Becoming a Demilord of Liffe hinders her schemes both there and in Darkon.[4]
- Stezen d'Polarno reinvents himself as d'Polarno III, his supposed grandson, and begins his third reign.[5]
- February By this time, Alfred Larner has learned of Van Rijn's treachery and begins surveying Zherisia in the hunt for the renegade lich.[6]
- June An assassin attempts to murder Alfred Larner, but he foils the attempt. Under interrogation, the culprit is revealed to be doppelganger sent by a "dead thing". The Paridonian Brothers take this to be Van Rijn[7]
- July Paul Dirac and Viktor Hazan begin exploring the Nocturnal Sea in search of Erik van Rijn.[8] [[Meredoth catches onto their antics in Todstein and sends them packing through violence and treachery. Several of their servants are murdered, and one is reanimated into a lebentod. However, one of the Fraternity thinks of a nasty surprise in retaliation.[9]
- August-SeptemberViktor Hazan discovers Dirac stranded on a rock near the harbor of Graben-town. Delirious, cold, and almost unconscious, Dirac is fished out by Viktor and the sailors under his employ. Delivered to Dr. Gunnar Illhousen for treatment, Dirac makes little progress for the next several days. Eventually, Dirac escapes from his cell and walks into the sea. However, Dirac leaves behind some notes on the Drowning Deep he wrote while under the mental influence by Virundus.[10]
- October A series of strange murders occurs in Paridon. Because of the taint of strong necromancy on the bodies, Alfred Larner links the murders to Erik Van Rijn (though he is not the culprit of all the murders). However, Larner suspects the lich may have already fled the city.[11]
- The Fraternity of Shadows creates the Cellar Door, an artificial mistway. It links Souragne to Richemulot and back.[12]
- Sentire Etienne Lefebvre has gathered a group of priests to unveil his version of the Fifth Book of Ezra on the 50th anniversary of Ti-Maman's death.[13]
