Welcome to the Vigilants. You are one of the thousands of people living in the imperial capital of Sentra, the jewel of the Empire

For some of you, this is home—a comfortable and familiar place you've known your entire life.  For others, the city may only be a brief stop, perhaps one of many in your travels.  But regardless of how you came here, you share the same streets.

Depending on who you are—and where you live—Sentra can be a beautiful city of wonder and splendor. Yet that perfect city is only what many people see on the surface.  There are those that understand there is more to the city, that there are flaws in it that run deeper than what most will see.  There are those that know what lies beneath.

The Story

Niman was a student studying theoretical thaumaturgy at Pallida University. Originally from Seidland, he was granted a scholarship granted by one of the foundations of House Fournius. He has no family in the city.

He died from an acute case of Arcstone poisoning, which should not have been possible given his circumstances. An autopsy revealed that his internal anatomy was mirrored.

Priests of Sritch are strongly encouraged to pursue a life of sparse need and avoid a focus on earthly possessions or property. When an individual first enters one of the Sun Lord's seminaries, he surrenders his family name and takes on a name assigned by the church. As part of that act, the would-be priest turns over his land and property to the church's coffers, including any inheritances.

The main text is the Holy Light of Sritch. The most popular version has been translated into a dozen languages and has undergone several minor revisions and alterations throughout the years, usually with the intent of keeping the work relevant to modern audiences. The lesser known Orthodox version has not been changed since it's original writing, at least according to its adherents. There is a small but strong faction within the Sritch church that considers the Orthodox text to be the only authentic version. To them, the translations into modern Common are unofficial and considered heretical.
