Dark Shadows

The Year is 1940 AE, 62 years before Shannon Walker is anointed Eleusinian. Dark forces are moving in the land of Pneumanor. You work for a Spiritual Research team of The Faith called "The Beholders."

You are a "Watcher," an agent of the Church who goes and **Investigates Paranormal Activity** in the towns of Pneumanor. Your team has been been sent by *Master Luwin* to the mining town of Winter Falls on the behest of *Oswald Tomlin* the mayor of the town. There have been strange occurrences going on in the town.

## Oswald Tomlin's Letter:

>
>  Dear Master Luwin
>
>
>  I hope you are in good health. It has been an age since our last meeting, however I have considered you once a friend and I have heard word of your growing respect within the Church. Indeed words of your deeds have traveled all the way across Pneumanor into my ears.
>
>
>  You my friend have grown quite influential within the Church and wield a power of your own.
>
>
>  I am writing to you, my old friend, asking for your aid. As you may know I am the current Mayor of the Town of Winter Falls. It is a mining town, gold being the source of our wealth. We have been quite fortunate, and pleasant has been our way. Until recent events.
>
>
>  A dark shadow has fallen over our town, we are plagued with strange occurrences and perhaps something sinister. Children have been disappearing, and there has been one attack, she is alive but has taken a great shock and is in no condition to answer questions.
>
>
>  I am afraid and am asking for your aid, old friend. Send a group of watchers to me. Help me uncover the truth of the matter and shine some light so that we might remove this shadow that has fallen upon my town.
>
>
>  Your Friend,
