The Dark Ages.

By now the power of Christianity is stable and widespread. It has settled into the Hammerite Abbeys, into the Pagan Sanctuaries and into every house. This plague of “faith” has carried out its deadly patrol, causing widespread panic and confusion in all the cities of the land. The first to feel its effects were the Pagans, tortured and killed for their heresies. The Hammerites, being both more numerous and more organised, resisted fiercely but even they were forced to bend their knee to the Church. There were a stubborn few who refused to yield and continued to fight but their numbers grew fewer as one by one they disappeared without trace.

Many Abbeys have chosen to co-operate with the Vatican, handing Pagans and heretics over to the emissaries of the Clergy, ensuring their survival by the payment of an “Independence Tax”. This enables their continued existence and gives them some small freedom to practice their faith, while at the same time increasing the power and strength of Christianity.

Meanwhile, from his manor in the depths of the forest to the west of South Quarter, a wealthy, unknown noble has begun to come to the attention of the outside world. His name is Lord Robert Lelder.

While trying to single out some allies from among the rich and politically powerful to help protect them against the increasing power of the Church, the Order of the Hammer sent a pair of emissaries to the manor of Lord Lelder in an attempt to win him to their cause. Julius and Edward, the two who were chosen for the mission, have been ordered to keep in regular contact with the Order, informing it of the state of negotiations, but after their first missive there has been nothing but silence. In his letter, Julius mentioned a diary which may be important but the Hammerite gives no further mention of it.

The Hammers have asked your help in finding the diary and in discovering the fate of the two emissaries…

I usually don't do charity work but I think that this time the Hammers really do need my help.

I think my tasks will not end simply with the inspection of Lelder's mansion. I don't know why but I have the
uncomfortable feeling that this will be a long and difficult night.
