STOCKHOLM DISAPPEARS

Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, has just disappeared. Some remnants of the Jönköping Incident have meant that Stockholm has exploded. Again, there is no remnant of there ever having been a city, meaning that it looks like Stockholm never existed. Some people link this to the earlier Jönköping and Johor Bahru incidents.

Some cities have put themselves up for being the new capital, including Malmö, Göteborg/Gothenburg, and Uppsala. Surprisingly, despite being affected by the earlier-mentioned Incident, Jönköping has put themselves up as a candidate. Meanwhile, there is chaos in Sweden. An anarchist faction has formed.

Description:

The "Disappearance of Stockholm" is an Event-Type Oddity that is similar to both the Jönköping and Johor Bahru incidents. It seems to follow a pattern of major cities disappearing following a blast, and may be connected to the City-Swallowing Sinkholes as well.

The Article does not go into many details, but the reports brought forth by witnesses appear to indicate that Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, exploded violently and left behind no rubble.

Theories:

The "Disappearance of Stockholm" is most likely tied to an unknown Oddity that is tremendously powerful and destructive. It follows a pattern of destroying major cities so extensively that no rubble or debris is left behind at all.

It is possible that a monstrously powerful weapon is being fired or activated somehow. If that is the case, it is possible that both the weapon and its user are Oddities. Why an Oddity of such immense power is targeting locations with a heavy population density is unknown, but it could be offering up the lives of those killed in the blast as a sacrifice or to appease yet another unknown Oddity.

Further information is required to theorize further, but, given the connection to several other reported Oddities, more information will most likely be coming soon.
