Summary
The investigators are invitees or assistants to historian André Morin at a conference where he will announce what he has discovered in once-lost writings of the fifteenth century astrologer Simon de Phares. However, Morin instead announces that the lost writings never existed, and he disappears. Urged to look into the disappearance by Morin's assistant, the investigators find that he gained access to the wirings from a wealthy Lyonnais named Jean Cabrillon. Cabrillon notes that the texts are now missing, leading him to worry that they may fall into the hands of cultists bent on using the forbidden knowledge within against his family. Researching occult Lyon leads the investigators to two suspect groups, the Ophites and the Mopses.
