 : On June 5, 1956, Jeremy Watson takes over a Northrop F-89 Scorpion with the intent of doing as much damage as possible. He is stopped by a Circle of Doomslayers but unfortunately the plane crashes into a car on the highway near the airport, killing a mother and child bound for the new Metropolitan Stadium. Four days later, Watson steals a Grumman F9F Panther, fully loaded with ordnance and sets course for Fort Snelling. He is again stopped by the Doomslayers, but not before he manages to crash the aircraft across three houses on 46th Avenue, causing an enormous explosion and killing the pilot and six people, including three children, on the ground.<br>

Two Navy planes collided in midair, killing one pilot and setting four houses ablaze near Sunset Memorial Cemetery. This time the Doomslayers are finally able to capture Watson and confirm he is shadow-eaten. After they have finished interrogating Watson, the Doomslayers turn over all the evidence they have to Danny Hogan, leader of the Washaba Street Racketeers.<br>

 : Hogan and leaders of other Renegade factions meet with the Anacreons of Minneapolis to discuss a ceasefire, and he lives up to the reputation that he earned during his breathing days as the “Smiling Peacemaker.” During the negotiations, the Doomslayers reveal that the Anacreon of the Grim Legion is also shadow-eaten and has been helping Watson evade capture. There is initial resistance by the legionnaires of the Grim Legion, but when it becomes obvious what the truth is the Hierarchy has no choice but to capitulate and agree to peace. All present also agree to the Washaba Street Caves being designated as neutral ground, a place where violence is not tolerated by anyone, and where Wraiths can socialize unmolested.<br>

 On the evening of May 2, 1878, the Washburn A Mill explodes, hurling debris hundreds of feet into the air. In a matter of seconds, a series of thunderous explosions, heard ten miles away in St. Paul, destroy what is Minneapolis' largest industrial building, and the largest mill in the world, along with several adjacent flour mills. This opens up a nihil in the Shadowlands and large numbers of Spectres flood into the area.<br>

Around Saint Paul, Ol’ Burt Tate becomes something of an urban legend, and a boogie man to scare naughty children into being good lest they incur his wrath.<br>
