The world has changed forever. Purple fog hangs thick in the air as two planes of existence fight for dominance after Alyssum's defeat. Without sunlight, crops wither, society crumbles, and strange new threats emerge from the shadows.

Vance Ironside and Dolomir Sedrin find themselves outside the walls of Union City, the capital of the Oathmakers Coalition, searching for information about the dark entities that have invaded their reality. What was once a gleaming center of governance has descended into chaos in just one month—trash piles up in wealthy districts, tents line the streets, and crime runs rampant without consequence.

When they finally meet their contact, Balin Zenwish, they discover something far more terrifying than they anticipated. The spectral beings plaguing the city look like ordinary people but cause searing psychic pain with their touch. When defeated, they simply melt away, leaving no trace behind. Only radiant damage and holy water seem effective against them.

But the true horror reveals itself in the resistance headquarters beneath an abandoned bar. There, reunited with their old ally Essel, they make a chilling discovery: not only can these entities appear human, but they can perfectly impersonate people—even those who have existed for years before the dimensional merge. A simple test with holy water exposes infiltrators hiding among trusted friends, fundamentally changing everything they thought they knew about this new threat.

The dimensional collision hasn't just transformed the physical world; it's created a crisis of trust where nothing can be taken at face value. As our heroes plan their next move toward the mysterious magical concentration in the northeast district, they must now question every relationship and every face they encounter.

Who can you trust when darkness has not just fallen on the land, but potentially on the people closest to you?
