A glimpse behind the imposing walls of Amyphysto Asylum leaves our investigation team with great apprehension regarding Morev, the "Head" custodian. Could the memory alterations be spill-over from the extreme psionic treatments performed on Asylum patients? "He would have returned to his family" was the cryptic answer from the dead Merchant, but just who are the various families of Zambrians in Amphysto's noble sector? Perhaps one has offered sanctuary to Potsu and Alria in their flight from the Scorpion Clan. Special guest appearances by Vanas and Lord Spyder shed much light on this mysterious Sword of the Scorpion and who, over all, has the right to wield it.
