The Veiled Prophet

…And with the destruction of the main Temple of the Triune and the vanishing of its master, Uldyssian, son of Diomedes, and his edyrem then spread across the land, purging the last major traces of that sect. The flames of justice and vengeance burned bright together to devour much of what remained of the Cult of the Three.

But there still stood the Cathedral of Light, and in the vacuum left wherever the Triune had once preached, there came the missionaries of the Prophet. Never did they confront the edyrem, but ever were they there afterward to help rebuild and give relief.

But if that was their sin, then so was it also Inarius’s, for he failed to realize that others had taken notice of the struggle for the soul of the world called Sanctuary…others who might desire to take for themselves the prize, or choose instead to destroy everything.
