The Mission House, Church of Prios, Thistle Hold

The Missionary Station

In close proximity to the Antique Plaza is a building which has acidified the relations between Mayor Nightpitch and the ruling body of the Sun Church, the Curia – namely the missionary station of the highborn sun priest Father Sarvola. The elderly liturg has long been notorious within the Church for calling its practices crude, heartless and condemning. He says that: “Just like the sun generously shines upon high and low, wretched and pious, so shall our Church treat all children of Prios with the same warmth and love.”

Since a couple of years ago he has an enormous inheritance at his disposal, which he uses to spread his message of love and compassion – a message that persuades a slowly increasing number of newly ordained priests to help him in the tasks of running the soup-kitchen in Blackmoor and proselytize both there and among the Karabbadokks.

The fact that Mayor Nightpitch allows Sarvola to run his heretic movement in town is highly disapproved of by literalist teurgs and Black Cloaks, especially by father Elfeno, the head of the local sun temple. But the Mayor argues that so long as you pay your dues and refrain from inciting riots anyone is welcome to stay. However, there are many indications that the agents of the Church will take matter into their own hands. New malicious rumors about Sarvola surface on a daily basis and his sermons are often disrupted by boos and seemingly spontaneous outbursts in the audience.
