"Theus
created the world and left it to us to discover.
Do you think the proclamations of a few torch-wielding
fanatics can change that?"
- Goskelen Leman
The Inquisition has launched
a war against learning. All across Théah,
it hunts down scholars with ruthless abandon,
burning and destroying anything it perceives
as a threat. Decades of advancement have vanished
in a single bonfire, while brilliant men and
women are murdered in the night for daring
to speak the truth.
But some fight back.
From a thousand hiding places,
the Invisible College continues its forbidden
studies. Separated by vast distances, ensconced
in the deepest hiding places, its members
continue the struggle for learning and enlightenment.
From their experiments, Théan science
advances. From their teachings, countless
mysteries have been solved. From their courage
and daring, the people understand the world
around them… and learn that tyranny
can be defied. The Inquisitors believe they
hold the keys to human knowledge; the Invisible
College is here to prove them wrong.
The Invisible College includes:
A detailed history and background
of the College, including prominent members,
secretive protocols, and the organization's
most closely-held secrets.
New Advantages, Skills,
and Backgrounds, a new Swordsman school, and
rules for the sinister alchemical art of Blood
Science.
New rules for creating Inventions,
plus a list of new gadgets for use by your
Heroes.
