Pellgraine Manor: Pastor Andrew Miller and Aiolos Shaw
Pastor Miller gathers up the cypher manuscript, and he and Aiolos sit down on the davenport, looking over the paper, extra sheets of paper from the sketches Trevor made earlier on the table. After nearly half an hour of figuring and thinking, the two come up with what seems a passable translation. Pastor Miller takes especial interest in it, as the paper seems to be a pseudo-Biblical revelation.

Thus follows one of the scriptures penned by the visionary of the Order of the Brazen Midnight, Frater EIECET:
And so it was that I stood on the precipice of the watery Abyss of Knowledge, which is called Da’ath; and I came to the gates of the Veil of Paroketh, which must be rent so that one might pass over the Abyss. And at those gates stood a figure, tall and like a giant; and he sayeth unto me, "I am he called Amazarach by men, though they know me not; my duty it is to watch over these gates.
For across the Abyss which stretches below ye stands Heaven; but know ye that thou must have received upon thy person the Seal, or ye shall be accosted by that one who dwells below, that one whose name is Dionysus, or Pan, or Nodens, or Apollyon, or Prometheus, or Choronzon, or Tuchulcha. Lucifer, also, is one of his guises; he is the one known as Legion, for he is the Many. For though this is the upper branches of the Tree of Life, at the bottom of the chasm are found the roots of the tree, and the earth, and the Beast which is the lord of the earth.
Then I saw coming up out of the Abyss a dreadful apparition. Scarlet it was, and shaped like a dragon; seven heads it had, and on each of these was written one of the names Amazarach hath spake. For this, then, was the Beast, which is named Lucifer, the worm which lurketh always in Knowledge.
Just FYI, in gametime it's now about 1:15 AM.
