CERBERUS suspended The Aegis Accord with the approval of Interim Mayor Atkins-Folley and began manning all entry points to the city directly. link

The Cursed (those with Inflammatory Mana Syndrome) awoke to find their familiars had disappeared! Chaos ensued! Cursed witches were drawn to Jairwood Swamps, in a Rupture-like Effect Zone where mana was unstable and Daemons galore, as per the reports gathered by CERBERUS-led Camp Trishula witches. Cursed witches heard the voice of a daemon Namkhane. Witches fought each other as those from Camp Trishula tried to forcibly dematerialize cursed witch's familiars with Null Necklace. HYDRA tried to access Camp Trishula research notes. The "Patient Zero" of Inflammatory Mana Syndrome was possessed by Namkhane and rampaged. Camp Trishula was overrun by maddened monsters and daemons, Dark Matter all around. A Wyvern even appeared. In the end the daemons were beaten but the price was steep. Many dead. Many more were injured (if you can't tell from the lengthy explanation this was a massive event involving nearly everyone). link
