The story

Two weeks ago Aldra, the beloved butcher of Isthmus Town, vanished without a trace. Some days later a local teen saw a man swallowed up by the earth near Deadmill, the old mill at the edge of the Stone Forest. Others have gone missing since. The Tideborn will pay to know what became of their butcher; the Cities will pay to find the tithingman who never came home with the tithe.

A two-mystery investigation for new and veteran parties: a lakeside town with secrets in its ledgers, a sour fishing village, a mill in a grove where the same man dies every thirty seconds, a bog nobody puts on a map, and something very old waiting underneath it.
