Um, DIB! --Doctor Phineas Crank 00:47, 9 Jan 2005 (EST)

It was a fell Varhookan in Ablinth, -10 EC when dire events took place on the dreaded second floor of the Charterhouse Collection which no truly enlightened occultologist can ever forget. Indeed, not even Godfroi Hasawithe himself is sure who is responsible. In fact, the only thing that everyone seems to agree on is that the Charterhouse copy of the Grimporke Grimoire was stolen and the Second Floor Librarian was completely destroyed in the process. And, by destroyed, it is meant totally, completely and utterly destroyed, folded, spindled, mutilated and eradicated. The body of this poor, nameless Second Floor Librarian was so violated that even their name has been stricken from living memory. Not even Stottlemeyer O'Phelan, the Second Floor Librarian's Assistant could remember his superior's name after having worked with them for several years. Of course, there were obviously occult forces at work which O'Phelan blamed for his sudden memory loss. (In his defense, a co-worker being spread thin like cheap jam on the ceiling could impair one's memory a bit.) The entire incident was so traumatic for Hasawithe that he has never again set foot on the second floor of his own collection and his estranged wife, Tistar Wakami, actually made an appearance at the Charterhouse Collection to "comfort" him.

In the intervening years, the Night of Cloaks and Daggers has been celebrated annually by librarians, Occultologists, and Encyclopedants as a sort of holiday, not unlike the strange and mysterious "Boxing Day". It seems that these odd, reclusive people are silently crafting this "holiday" into a day when odd relatives are made to conveniently "disappear", with no further questions asked.
