[@pure493] I'm getting a noir feel here. Very awesome! Also a really cool alternate history idea. :D  Absolutely approved! Just to make sure we're all on the same page, though -- the Chroniker does not exist in your world: I'll introduce it in the first couple mod posts. However, your character could totally find the true Vanishing Stone a replica of the Chroniker, or even some research and documentation on how it works. Maybe someone was trying to duplicate the Chroniker and had written down some theories.

. . . you gave me an idea and I ran away with it, sorry. XD

You guys, I'm already a huge fan of all of these characters. So psyched. The first post is getting written in my head as we speak.
