About the adventure
The Feast of Angelfall is one of the holiest celebrations of the Quintet's Church. Thousands of pilgrims come to Highford to pay homage to the Fallen Prince of Virtue, in the only city of the Far Colonies where His presence has been made manifest. Away are the concerns about the crumbling empire, the imminent war and the rumored conspiracies. This is a time for festivity and gratitude. A horrid murder takes place within the Angel's Sanctum, the very heart of the Church in Highford. The signs of blasphemy and the presence of demonic influence are all over the scene and infecting the city around. The pilgrims who came in the victim's caravan are forbidden to leave until the case is solved. The colonial authorities task a band of adventurers with bringing the murderer to justice and uncovering any sinister designs laying behind this breach of the Quintet's Peace. An original campaign of intrigue, mystery and gothic horror, open to all! Virtue, sin and betrayal await in the Far Colonies.

How Eloy Vera Beltrán creates a safe table
There will be a special channel on the Discord server for everyone to make clear, in advance, what they're comfortable with and what they aren't.
