In the Old World, some people know the tragic tale of Alphonse Stewart, Professor of Archaeology, and how he didn't return quite the same after his last expedition. The tale of the cult he started among the students of the College and how the Inquisition killed all of its members, save for the founder. Alphonse has been declared dead, or rather he never existed: such abominations who consort with the dead are not allowed to exist in the Holy Empire.
Instead, this is the tale of Brother Paul Darthe, a travelling Exorcist of Pharasma, both gifted and cursed with the Spirits he is trying to put to rest. A true living martyr, some say. An abomination, other say. "Welcome aboard!" the guild receptionist said. Beyond the Portal, beyond the reach of the Inquisition. Or so he hopes.
