One of the twelve, named Alexandra Ironbrow, seems to make many significant glances at Alan Black.

The Vanished

On the last day of each month, someone in the city vanishes. It's been going on for almost a decade, but the city is so wealthy and safe that few who live there are concerned, and simply hope they are not the ones that end u missing.

Sleep

Everyone in the city has fallen asleep, and no one knows why or how.

The Band

A travelling band is looking for help. They sold their souls to a demon in exchange for talent and fame, and now that demon has come to collect.

Bundringo Wolfbrother used to be in the band, but left because they refused to sign the deal.
