Justice served on Religious Fanatics

From Atlantic Roleplay Wiki

Combined forces gathered at a supposedly secret meeting place of the organization which calls itself "The Movement". Concealed, they waited until five members appeared and gathered around a sacrifical altar, on which were placed the bones of a victim. Right into the discussion, one of their members was alerted of the presence of us, and a short but fierce battle started. Two of their members were killed, three fled the scene.

Who are the members of this sect and how were they discovered? Last week, at the Grand Bazaar held in Trinic, a merchant was murdered. A quickly organized search party was able to track the murderers to a house near the Shrine of Spirituality. While the murderers were not found, the house was identified as the house of Quanta, blacksmith. In the days to come, several private investigators collected information by talking to local residents and found evidence by searching the houses of several of what appeared to be a whole group. As investigations proceeded, it was found that there was indeed an organization which called themself "The Movement". A document called "The Code" was discovered. The document contains eight commandments. Those commandments seem to be related to the Eight Virtues. They enforce severe punishment in case one of the Virtues is not followed. This must be the reason why the merchant in Trinsic had to die and why one of their members was found dead in the city of Moonglow.

There was also evidence of the organization acquiring great numbers of arms and armour for an unknown reason. It seems that this "Movement" was a threat to our society. It was time for a strike. Since the organization left information about a meeting, this was the opportunity to have them all in one place and destroy their group. The five members who appeared at the gathering were Sir Valadarzim, Quanta, Gorath'al Tarnis, Roderique and Alexis, their spiritual leader. While Quanta and Gorath'al fell in the battle, Valadarzim, Roderique and Alexis got away. They may be a threat in the future, but for now the organization is weakened considerably.

Comment: A journal by Alexis showed that there must be some immortal entity guiding the "Movement". This entity probably dictated the "Code". There is more than just some religios fanatics trying to "better" the world. If they can attract followers to their radical application of the Virtues this entity may gain great influence in Britannia. We must be on guard for new attempts to establish these ideas in our society.
