Title : The Ashen Age Part 1

Description : Thief 2 Fan Mission

Story : A rash of disappearances plague the city. Rich and poor alike are vanishing without a trace while the City Watch stands idle, powerless to stop the menace. Garrett is contacted by the Keeper Order who claim that 4 of their own have gone missing. It is no co-incidence that these 4 have been taken. Each of these Keepers shared in the burden of protecting the "Book of Ash", a book capable of unleashing hell on earth. There isn't time to wait till nightfall this time. . .

Known bugs : Some difficulty levels may (or may not!) have a zombie that just won't stay put!
