Roadside Sermons

On the continent of Qanoras, miracles are not unheard of. Events that defy explanation even by expert arcanists. Stories abound of crops surviving a terrible drought. Someone recovering from an illness that should, by right, have ended them. Or, in the case of Abreon Makrinoth: Guiding a ship safely to harbour, despite a gigantic hole in its hull, beneath the waterline.
Of course, whether the reports of those miracles can be believes is up for debate. But if there is truth to them, these tales are rife with implications. A divine truth. Or at least, a source of spiritual power that is severely underutilized.

Macario Tabil, an agent of the Arcane Investigations Bureau in central Tageid, has been tasked with shadowing Abreon Makrinoth after the latter's own alleged miracle. To earn the deacon's trust, and to learn the truth behind their deeds. And, if possible, to re-create them.
