Missing Moment

From PathfinderWiki

The Missing Moment was a paranormal event on 21 Erastus 4722 AR in which an unknown number of people entered strangely behaving aiudara. Many never returned, and those who did were physically marked and changed by the experience. Those affected became known as gatewalkers.1

Description

On 21 Erastus, countless aiudara emitted a bright glow enticing any witnesses with illusions of their greatest desire. Of those who entered the portals, many never returned; most who did lost days or months of time and bore a brand on their flesh in the shape of a mountaintop gate with four stars above.1

Aftermath

On 23 Lamashan, several months after the Missing Moment, Dr. Etward Ritalson invited gatewalkers from around the world to his manor in Lepidstadt, Ustalav. He established the Doctor's Illuminated Consortium of Epopts, a small organization of gatewalkers, to investigate the cause of the Missing Moment.1
