Description

Anything taken to an extreme is hazardous to our world, your name. Take for example, the Scarlet Crusade. Do you believe that their blind zealotry serves a greater good? How many innocents have they destroyed in the name of the Light?

Blasphemers, one and all!

One in particular interests me, though; the Archivist Galford of Stratholme: A man that watches over the Crusade's most valued documents. Destroy him and burn down his archives! Should you succeed, return to me and be rewarded.

In progress

Remember, your name - we must be tolerant yet rigid in our beliefs!

Completion

Outstanding, your name! Years of intelligence, lost! The Scarlet Crusade will surely feel this blow in the coming weeks.
