Christian Tassing

**Christian Tassing** is an Act 3 quest in *Pentiment*.

## Stages

### Tassing's Christian History

Reverend Matthieu suggested the Poor Clares may have perserved whatever was left in Kiersau after the fire. I should talk to Sister Gertrude about visitng the convent and the abbey. Father Thomas is always talking about Tassing's saints. I should ask him more about them. Dad also suggested I talk to Else up at the mill. He said her family has lived in Tassing for generations. She might be able to tell me about Tassing's history.
### Visiting the Poor Clares

I've been given permission from Mother Franziska to enter the convent. Sister Susanne will be accompanying me to answer my questions. I should explore and see what I can learn about the history of this place. :The convent's chapel had a mural depicting the construction of Kiersau Abbey with a claim that the abbey was founded by Lady Sabine in 1261.
I also found part of a page in the nuns' old workshop. It had a painting on it of a strange building. Writing on the page said it was Tassing's Mithraeum and that it was lost in a flood. That's the second time I've seen a reference to a Mithraeum. What is it? I'm going to investigate the ruins of the abbey to see if I can find some answers.
### An Abbey, Forgotten

I think I've learned all I can from the ruins of the abbey. It's so sad seeing it like this. The paintings over the dance of death - I'm not sure what to make of them. I think they're supposed to be people who died around the time of the revolt.:Who would do such a thing? Were they made by the person who's following me? Is it the same person who was at the mine? The person who attacked my dad?
### Head Home

Now that another section of the mural is underway, I need to figure out how I'm going to portray the revolt. I should head home and write a few letters before I go to bed.
### Write to Esther

I wrote to Jacob Estler, the archdeacon who investigated Baron Rothvogel's murder back in 1518. Maybe he has some information that could help me understand the events that led up to the revolt. Before I head to bed, I should also write another letter to Esther.:I wrote a letter to Esther. I'm worried this might be the last one I'll be able to send before snow closes the passes. Hopefully I'll get a response before spring, at least. It's getting late. I should get some sleep.
### Our Lady of the Labyrinth

Father Thomas told me about the history of Our Lady of the Labyrinth and how it came to be. I never realized there was a legend associated with it. I could paint Our Lady along with Saint Moritz and Saint Satia. That would be a nice way to honor all three.
### Speaking with Else

I talked with Else about the history of her family. She said they were displaced from their land by the Romans but returned to the same spot as Christians after the Romans left. I think it might have been the same for many families in the centuries following Tassing's abadonment. It might be nice to commemorate the return of the local people in the mural.
### Speaking with Ursula

Ursula remembered some interesting things that Ottilia told her. The most shocking thing was that Ottilia's old chants were Romansh. It's not spoken anywhere near Tassing. Ursula believes that the people who resettled here weren't Bavarians, but Swiss, from Graubünden. I could illustrate that... though I think it might upset a lot of people.
