Hallowed be Thy Name: More about The Church

The Church affects the daily lives of all living in Mythic Europe, even the magi. Religious belief is widespread, built out of faith and sometimes fear. But even the most devout churchgoer can be corrupted by the Infernal, and even the most skeptical magus can become a believer.

In The Church, you’ll find mechanics to help measure the devotion and faith of your characters and NPCs, and how to use these concepts to drive story. You’ll learn basic church hierarchy and how to construct a local church for your games.

Information on the Corrupt provides story hooks and mechanics for your magi to conduct secret investigations within the church. Or you might infiltrate or oppose a group like the Knights Templar. Bring the faith of your characters to life with The Church.
