Addition to the case of the missing person:

Since a missing person was reported to the city guard, investigations were able to correlate that case and the incident at the apartment complex, so that it is now known that the blind woman that had gone missing in the infested room was Rena Rose, who has a brother and a mother living in Lismore, and is also affiliated with the Harem family. Current conclusions point at a capture by the enemy. Rescue missions are not possible right now due to a lack of intel about the invaders and where they are located within the fog.

Reports (7/22/2021)

The alchemist dragon Twilus reported an incursion in the mines on High Garden, where there seems to be various spots the corruption has seeped into. With the assistance of the Fae Qui, Twilus purged one of the tentacle infested areas through the use of alchemical fire and lightning magic. Caution is advised entering the mines right now, as it seems to have become a hotspot for the fog invaders.

Reports 7/21/2021

A portal and a hulking creature were found at about the mid-level of the high-end apartment tower. Eir, Tamos, Slate and Azura responded. The creature was destroyed, but the portal will require a great deal of effort to re-seal permenantly. Eidinea Vance was found severely wounded in her room and was removed and transported to the temple.

Miss Laila Turner was found trapped in her home, restrained and injured by a large, robed creature. She was rescued through the efforts of Lucient, Miriamella, Ellen and Kabir, and was taken to heal at the temple, and then to recover at House Nephalem.

It has come to the attention of the Empire's officials that an Eldritch tome owned by one Padma Vux, kept in the safekeeping of Abbadon, has been stolen and used to enact a catastrophic ritual which has resulted in major consequences both across the Empire, and across the Skylands itself.

The book was in safekeeping until Abbadon reported that the book began destroying magical seals and otherwise defying containment - it was transported to Vheljen's laboratory, which is known as a magically secure location.

The following individuals were invited:

Relina, Headmistress of the Academy

Padma, Artifact Researcher of the Academy, previous owner of the book

Rael Becker, Assistant Artifact Researcher of the Academy

Daliyah, former empress of lismore and magical expert

Kian, prince of Lismore and magical expert

Sometime into deliberation on how to contain the book, Rael Becker suggested wrapping the book in cloth soaked in holy oil to assist with containment. Those present agreed - when Rael approached the book, he used it to enact extraordinarily powerful magic, which he used to repel and subdue all present. He 'absorbed' the book into his chest, before using some form of strange magic to 'meld' into the ground, at which point he was not seen again.

Shortly after, witnesses across the Empire report a great feeling of unease, pockets of misty substance appearing and dissapearing across the Empire, and a flash of light in the distance. Since this time, pockets of mist/fog with tendrils on them have been spotted and appear to, at times, be depositing hostile creatures in public areas. As a result, the Empire, with the exception of the Temple, which seems immune to these fog-pockets, should be deemed unsafe, and it would be advisable for people to remain in groups, and armed and ready for combat.

As of the time of talking, there have been three related fog-attacks, which are, and which all future instances of will be tracked in this document: https://sculptyworks.com/lismore/index.php?topic=2831.0
