One scientist's startling fossil find ends the creation vs. evolution dispute. The Fryer burns down churches, but when people are killed, he finds that there's Hell to pay. A scientist experimenting on forgotten people finds that one of them has not been forgotten, and is wanted by violent people in high places. A wizard kidnaps the Emperor's daughter to offer her to an Eidolon in exchange for the power to bring back his murdered family.
