Accomplishment description[ | ]

"You were trained by the solemn Church of Old London. Can your faith survive, here in the heavens?"

Obtaining[ | ]

You were a priest.
You preached the word, and brought the needs of the world before the Church in intercession.

But besides God Almighty, to whom did you answer?

Hearts icon Hearts = 25

Iron icon Clear = 1
A Bright-Eyed Sequencer The Bishop of Southwark Your parishioners
The New Sequence was a young creed, then. Now it has spread to the highest offices of the Church, with Her Majesty's blessing.
She was uncannily persuasive. But is that a surprise? The New Sequence promises to bring light to the dark, to break chains that have bound us since before we were born. Who wouldn't desire that?
It was illegal to hunt or harass devils. They were citizens of London, like you. But the Bishop did not care.
He founded a secret office to investigate, monitor and hinder the infernal. You were an agent. It is difficult, perhaps impossible, to kill a devil. But with enough imagination, they can be profoundly inconvenienced.
Sisyphus had it easy. He never had to contend with Mrs Quigg.
Daily you untangled a new crisis among your flock. You bore the widow Quigg's pitiless dissection of your sermons. Like the saints of old, you endured hideous torments in the form of Mr Gadgery's organ-playing.
