Everchard Memory Tampering and Disappearances

Summary

The Everchard memory crisis was the campaign’s opening investigation. What began with missing pigs and townsfolk at Thornhollows farm expanded through altered records, wagon victims, hostile or missing militia, animal-human transformations, and the abductions connected to the Hostel. The returning memories led to the Barrier Observatory, where the party encountered Joy, Ennui’s cloning and ring work, moon and Tri-moon research, and evidence that the local crisis was part of the wider Barrier and Garadule threads.

Known Details

  • Missing animals and people at Everchard led the party from the Thornhollows farm to wagon victims, animal-human beasts, the Hostel, and captured townsfolk.
  • The party uncovered evidence of record alteration, militia involvement, memory tampering, and transformed Malcolm Donovan.
  • The trail pointed toward the Barrier Observatory, where Joy, Ennui, cloning, rings, moon research, and Tri-moon clues came into focus.
  • Everchard began recovering after memories returned, though the Earl of Everchard’s final status remains unresolved.
