Elliot Gregory (35) recently returned to Aetherwick from another pastorage.  There is so much poverty and pain, so much need for comfort. And neither politicians, nor church seems to be doing anything about it. Someone has to do something. 

Coming from a very religious family of a higher middle class, you could consider yourself happy your family had enough money to put you to the seminar. Life in a seminar was rough, and not at all as you imagined it. Some priests were molesting little boys. Fortunately, you were never pretty enough to be one of them. But it was your first contact with the sad reality – a holy church is not as holy as it pretends to be. 

Sins of the church

At the age of 20, you were getting ready to return to Aetherwick, when you crossed a path with Arthur Dart, a son of rich merchant send to convent to be out of the way, who turned out to be one the most evil and decadent kids you had ever seen. In contrast to you, he was very handsome and popular among priests. They were often inviting him for a private lessons. A Columbus Ede, current bishop of Aetherwick, was one of them. 

Sins of man

Soon after your return to Aetherwick, a body of a seven years old girl was found floating in the river. Alice Donaldson. She was raped multiple times. That evening, a fifteen years old man came to your church. His name was Liam Conolly. He told you he wanted to sleep with one prostitute who asked him to bring him a young girl. He wasn’t thinking about it much, he just snatched this girl and brought her. He never though about she might end up dead. “How can I ever atone for it?” he asked. You pushed him into becoming a policeman… which he did. 

Sins of criminals

Life in Aetherwick isn’t easy. There are the rich, and there are the poor. The poor have to work a miserable jobs, that are making the rich even richer. If they fall sick, they have no money for doctors, they loose their jobs, and die. Most of the girl is becoming prostitutes which is the easiest way how to come to at least some money, but many of them get pregnant in the process. The crime lords are using the situation to get rich on their misfortune, but in contrast to merchant or nobility, they are at least accessible to the poor ones. In a sense, they are one of them. 

There is a Merrill Collins (42), an ex-prostitute who controls the business now, and her right hand, Claudia Knight (22) who is like a daughter to her. In the past, when Merrill didn’t curse god yet, she confess to you who that girl is: a daughter of Hughie McMillan (55), Scottish merchant. His wife run away from him, and found her way to USA, but didn’t feel she can take the little girl with her, and Merrill took care of her. Often, you wondered why, because Merrill was never one of the soft hearted… but when you realize how she was always talking about Hughie, you wonder, if there might be some spark of love in her heart. 

You tried to raise Claudia to be a good child of a good, but she turns out to be mainly a good child of her mother. She seems to have heart, but she will also do any evil deed she is asked to. 

Another crime lord is Logan Ahern (42),  who controls the hazard. He doesn’t do a bad job, as he makes it expensive for rich, and accessible for poor, but in the end, he is still supporting them in vices which are making the poor even poorer. And if someone cannot pay, he sands his silent gorilla, Samuel Fitget (22). Many poor found their death like that. The thing is, Samuel is deeply religious, and comes to you to confess about every of his murders. You are refusing ti give him absolution at this point, but he keeps coming anyway. Seems like he is taking a certain joy from your suffering as he is confessing you all the horrendous things he did. 

Older and older you are, the more you feel a real help must be offered to those people. A way to eliminate the criminals who are extorting them. A way to stop rich from abusing them. A way how to make law to protect them. 

Sins of police

There is so much more you have learned as a priest. A chief of police Neil Johnson (45) is coming to you to ease his heavy soul. He admitted you so many things. He said he knows who kills a father of Ruby Conray (30), but he won’t tell because he is a powerful man and could destroy him. He admitted he knows who kills the Alice Donaldson, but can’t say because it is a whole group of powerful people who would have his head. He admitted he took bribes, but also said he always gave a part of it for something good.  He also admitted his soul is heavy… and he is thinking about giving himself up to justice. That’s why he send his wife and daughter away, to the house in Spain he bought from his dirty money. 

Speaking of Ruby, she is a female doctor who is doing her best to treat the poor in Aetherwick. After death of her father, she went to USA, got a doctor degree and came back. You became friends because both of you are doing your best to be helpful to those in needs. 

Sins of the priest

You are facing a big dilemma. You  know so much dirt on so many people, but your promise won’t allow you to bring them to justice. In the same time, you are starting to doubt if spreading the word of god is enough. You believe it is important to be forgiving and kind, but you also feel it is necessary to do something. Just take a look at Arthur Shea and his family.  He has a young wife and a small daughter. He is working day and night to earn enough money to feed them, and now he is in danger of loosing job because of some machine a merchant Bradley Harrington wants to bring to his factory. Shouldn’t there be some protection of a working class? 

You are also not sure what to think about the position of the woman in a society. Bible clearly states a woman should listen to her husband but does it really mean a woman is as important as a thing? It seems to be pointlessly cruel. 

Sins of the future

You know all the police man. Detective Liam Conolly (30) is coming to you for a regular confession, even though he doesn’t believe in god. You are still praying for him, since he won’t say his number of Lord’s prayers. Detective Mitchell Donaldson (25) is also coming to you.  He is very friendly, and protective of other people. You are not sure what to do. You can push Liam to confess to Mitchell. You can push them both to see how they can take down the captain Neil Johnson. You could push Neil Johnson to confess his sins, and take down the people he was protecting up until now. But you also want them to remove the danger of crime lords… even though you are not sure if crime is something that is possible to uproot. If they take those downs, others will take their place. 

Sins of unknown origin

To make it even more complicated, a new priest arrived to the Aetherwick recently – a Silas Davis (25) sent directly from Vatican. You have no clue what is his business in here. 

Columbus Ede (bishop, 45)
As he is your superior, you are trying to be polite, but you know he is not s holy as he pretends to be. But you can’t prove anything and he is much more powerful then you.

Arthur Dart (merchant, 30)
You never liked that boy, but you also feels pity for him, being abused from the small age. You are afraid it turned him into something perverted.

Liam Conolly (detective, 30)
He did a bad thing. But he was a kid. He is trying his best… in his own, faulty way. You like him, and pray for him with all your might… even though u are worried you are catching his sickness, and loosing a faith in god yourself. You wonder if you should push him to confess his crime to Mitchell Donaldson.

Merrill Collins (crime lord, 42)
A perfect example of what this society is doing to a woman. She did what she had to survive and emerged from it as something much worse then the society itself. And you fear she is doomed to hell.

Claudia Knight (22)
An adopted daughter of Merrill, in danger of becoming like her. Full of sin, but those sins are not hers, but her mothers. You hope you still can save her. Somehow. Might be you will first need to get rid of the mother.

Hughie McMillan (merchant, 55)
You don’t know much about him. You know he started poor, worked hard, always was very hard working, and very strict in his faith. But he is also visiting the church of bishop Columbus Ese.

Logan Ahern (crime lord, 42)
Even worse then Merrill, a devil in a human skin.

Samuel Fitget (22)
Right hand of Logan Ahern. He is coming to confess you all the crimes he did, but you are refusing to give him absolution at this point. You suspect he is not fully right in his head.

Neil Johnson (chief of police, 45)
A man truly tortured by his guilt. You are not sure why he is not coming for confession to Columbus Ede who is a man closer to his position. Maybe you should ask him. You wonder if you should push him to confess all he did.

Arthur Shea (25)
Poor, hard working man trying to protect his family. A real soul of the community.

Ruby Conray (doctor, 30)
She is somewhat your friend. You share the same vision – to help to those in needs. You wonder if you should tell her that Neil Johnson knows something about the death of her father.

Mitchell Donaldson (25)
A good man who is trying to help to the weak. You wonder if you should push him to take down the chief of police, but mostly, you want him to remove the crime lords.

1. You know Bishop Ede slept with Arthur Dent
Who shouldn’t find out? Public.

2. You know Liam Conolly kidnapped Alice Donaldson.
Who shouldn’t find out? Mitchell Donaldson.

3. You know Neil Johnson is corrupted.
Who shouldn’t find out? Public.

4. You know Claudia Knight is a daughter of Liam Conolly
Who shouldn’t find out? Liam Conolly

5. You know Neil Johnson knows who killed father of Ruby Conrad.
Who shouldn’t find out? Ruby Conrad, public

6. You know Neil Johnson helped to cover up the death of Alice Donaldson.

1. Take down Logan Ahern
He is a danger to the community. 

2. Take down Samuel Fidget
He would be even worse than his predecessor. 

3. Take down Merrill Collins
Maybe. Because even though she is dangerous, she is taking care of a number of a working girls… and they need some protection.  

4. Right what was wronged
There were many crimes committed. Dead of Ruby Conrad’s father. Dead of Alice Donaldson. You don’t believe any more gods will sort it out… the man should as well. 

5. Help to the poor
Arthur Shea and all the poor need help. See how you can provide it.
