Briefing

Hello,

My name is Darius and I'm an agent of the woodsie queen Victoria. Things aren't going well these days, because the Mechanists are taking over the City and we, the Pagans are constantly under threat. We don't know what the Mechanists have in their
mind, but a fellow thief named Garrett has been sent into the huge Mechanist castle named Angelwatch to investigate the situation.

Meanwhile, I also have a mission to fulfill. A fellow agent named Alun was working in a local college, but we haven't heard anything from him for weeks.
This is what I'm going to do - to find out what happened.

The building is in Auldale and it's not new - It served as a museum in the recent past. I tried to find out information about it when an old woman told me the following story:
The former museum was built by a rich lord and he was one of the richest people in the City. After his death, his best friend and his nephew were the curators of the museum.
Unfortunately, the best friend died too and the nephew couldn't handle all things alone and went bankrupt.

The museum became abandoned, but was never demolished because there was a rumour that ghosts were inhabiting the museum. However, recently a brave man called George decided to investigate the situation and, to his surprise, the building turned out not to be haunted and there weren't any ghosts there.

He then decided to make the museum a college: a place where rich nobles and their children can study. To gather all knowledge George, now the headmaster, has decided to invite all City factions - the Mechanists, the Pagans and the Hammerites. Many people in the City were sceptics if all factions will ever work together peacefully, but weeks passed and there were no serious incidents.

However, I fear that this peaceful time is over and I suspect that Alun was murdered by the Mechanists. My first objective is to find out under what circumstances he was murdered. There are also a lot of valuables in the college and I'm going to take them for myself, which will be my second goal.

Luckily, I managed to sneak into the college undercover. The guards won't touch me, so I can stroll freely in most places of the Building. However the Mechanists in the Museum know who I am and will attack me on sight. There are certain places I should avoid also and I have marked then on my map with a red mark.

There's no time for waiting - the Karras has his plans and I don't believe the situation in the City will change for good. It's time to begin.
