[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] An empire forged by a Prophet, now decayed by the decadence of his Apostles. A city Shrouded in fog, devouring itself in the hubris of its masters. An Entity of unknown power let loose upon the minds of common men. A past that could shatter the sanity of any god. Inspector Kint Archaedis lives in the very center of all these things, just trying to keep his family safe while threats orbit around him. Unfortunately, despite his best efforts, Kint will soon be assigned a mission that will attract these dangers like a dying star.  Will he sacrifice his conscience, avoiding politics and peril alike to see that his family's charmed life persists or will he confront his greatest Sin, and thrust them into a future unknown? Tune in every weekday for new chapters! “They raise the fog to Shroud our sight. But the Truth is in our dreams. Pray you forget before you wake. A journey into shadow awaits.”  - The Crier
