[QUOTE="Dichotomy, post: 3097629, member: 12941"] [sblock=Shea]I've been reading the email and IMs we've exchanged. I've got some thoughts to run by you. My intention is not to force anything on you, but rather to see if these ideas will work. So, it is very likely that you've spent at least some time at the church of St. Cuthbert in town. Here's a bit more stuff that you'd have learned about the place:[sblock]Each of the establishments along the Vein's central square trade in the exploitation of human vice or false hope, and the tower-flanked Church of St. Cuthbert is certainly no exception. Within this austere stucco structure, the poorest of Diamond Lake's poor huddle in a torch-lit sanctuary listening to the fiery sermons of Jierian Wierus, a bombastic orator whose populist rants appeal to the best virtues and values of the common man while at the same time preying upon their fears and superstitions.
