The Pulse

Metaphysical / Paranormal event

The cover stones begin to flicker.

Around every sanctuary, there are nine stones. They are the last line of defense against any incursion, and the first line of containment. they have never failed. Until now. Like clockwork, every Wednesday at 9:46 p.m. the stones flash and their power dissipates. Anyone can approach them for 81 seconds. The Illuminati goes on high alert. The very basis of their power is at stake. For the first time in three hundred years, they directly intervene in Sanctum and Sentinel Island. Salem is put under martial law. Tensions are the highest they've been since the Reformation. And then the Pontis when conferring with Bishop Corey of Roanoke, notices that flashes in the west are brighter. An Expedition is quickly put together.
