The Heresiarch of Troyes
 |
The tale of the Heresiarch begins in the Holy Land. The Knights of the Temple uncovered a cache of occult scrolls and magical paraphernalia in the lands near Bethlehem¸ including a strange sealed jar. They took their finds back to Europe¸ to the Chateau du Paynes¸ in order to study them and unlock their secrets. The chief of these researchers was a scholarly knight named Jerome¸ who broke the cipher on the jar's inscription and discovered it contained a bound spirit called The Joyous One. In experimenting with the jar¸ the Templars accidentally freed the spirit... This adventure takes the guardian priests into the city of Troyes¸ in search of a heretical preacher. The players must follow the trail of the first group of monks to tackle this problem¸ which leads them to the famous ‘hot fair' of Troyes and a Templar castle beset by supernatural foes. The adventure is suitable for first or second-degree guardian priests.
