-The popular nickname for a mysterious serial killer currently at large in [[Vesper Ridge]]. Their identity and motive are both unknown, but the pattern of their killings seems to target mages and authority figures. So far, the [[constabulary]] has been completely foiled in its attempts to catch this killer. The city’s newspapers, especially the popular [[Forum Square Gazette]], report on the Bloody Butterfly’s rampage in lurid detail.

-The Butterfly’s recent crimes include the destruction of a [[Vesper Ridge Customs and Notary Bureau River Gates Branch Municipal Office|Customs Bureau office]] and the bizarrely ritualistic murder of [[Poor Jimmy Ashcroft]] on the steps of [[Cairwick Chapel]]. Eyewitness accounts describe this mysterious figure as “like a walking ghost” and apparently faceless or somehow invisible beneath their (or its?) black veil. This description was recently corroborated for the party by one [[Cortis|Mr. Cortis]], an undertaker whose place of business the Butterfly recently ransacked in the process of conducting some sort of dark ritual. Apparently, the Bloody Butterfly seeks to “[[Supplicants|create worshipers]]” for itself. Additionally, it has become increasingly clear that the Butterfly is engaged in a sort of tenuous partnership with the [[Black Light Mining Company]], though the nature of their alliance (and what both sides seek to gain from it) remains unclear.

 Very recently, the Clocktower stirred to life for the first time in living memory, the hour hand ticking from 12 o’clock noon directly to 1 PM, and then several days later to 2 PM. Both times, this inexplicable motion was accompanied by the cacophonous clanging of bells, presumably originating from a belfry hidden within the tower itself. Some [[Vesperite|Vesperites]] report having experienced headaches and strange visions as they watched the clock tick.
 
-According to the strange automaton M-41D, the Clocktower is somehow connected to [[The Gloaming Lantern]].
+Many of the city’s strange phenomena appear to be tied to the Clocktower. [[The Gloaming Lantern]] seeks it out.

 A mysterious device Margot recovered from the burning [[Vesper Ridge Customs and Notary Bureau River Gates Branch Municipal Office|customs bureau]] at the start of our story. Deeply magical, it produces its own light without an apparent fuel source, and seems to react to the thoughts or emotions of its bearer, but these traits are trivial compared to its true power: the ability to rewrite time itself. For reasons unknown, and through means unknown, the lantern has formed a connection with the members of our party, and dragged the very sun backwards across the sky to undo Ophile's untimely death.
 
-What happened afterwards was less clear, but it seems that almost nobody in the city remembers the time that was "unwritten." Aside from our party, both [[Vicky Lu]] and [[Leonora]] expressed a strong feeling of deja vu during the repeated hours. Notably, both of htem were also present when Margot first acquired the lantern.
+What happened afterward was less clear, but it seems that almost nobody in the city remembers the time that was “unwritten,” aside from a few certain individuals who are, like our party, “tethered” to the lantern.
 
-Other information: [[Chambermaid Calliope]] recognized the lantern, and warned the party that some “dangerous individuals” may be interested in it... a warning that was contextualized when [[Calix Hypatia|Lord Calix Hypatia]] later asserted to Ophile that the lantern actually belongs to him. For now, at least, it remains safely in our party’s hands. According to the strange automaton M-41D, the Gloaming Lantern is somehow connected to [[The Clocktower]].
