Changelings

Chronicle

12e10

After Ozborn killed Isis, her skin sloughed off to reveal a doppelganger; Bec had not even been sure they were real. The agents kept the body, and Ozborn tested everyone for doppelgangers with a bluff.

13e01

Isis’s corpse revealed that she came from Alye’adu, and had worked to prevent another Vanishing by watching the nations and intervening in their affairs. Her blood could not hold its shape when confronted with another liquid.

13e02

At Alye’adu, the agents learned that changelings are “imprints” of “anchors,” one anchor per imprint, without which an imprint must find another or die; one villager had been Isis’s anchor. Believing something at the Tower of Orsis caused the Vanishing fifty years ago, they had planted agents in nations around the world.

13e03

Talos and Andalla invaded Alye’adu, seeking to seize the changelings’ shapeshifting power.

13e04

The agents learned that changelings are dead forever once slain. Many in Alye’adu considered the white crane a beneficial “force of nature”; Isis had been deposed as leader for speaking against it.
