A Measure of Faith (Expert)

An adventure for expert characters

The crusader citadel of Martyr’s Point stands upon profane ground—a fathomless subterranean abyss with the godlike power to warp reality to the shape of what people believe and fear. Ordinarily dormant, it awakens when a dark collective belief empowers it, and sustains it with terror and bloodshed.

     A Measure of Faith is about the dangers of belief. It is the story of a lie that becomes powerful because people believe it; an irrational belief that creates enough hysteria to spark a holy war and takes the physical shape of the fictitious boogeyman, Okka the Eater. In the end, the players must choose between feeding the people comfortable lies to keep them ignorant of dark truths they can’t handle, or revealing the grim facts in hopes that the people will use their knowledge responsibly. The test is a measure of faith.

     A Measure of Faith is an adventure for expert characters. The group completes this adventure by defeating the manifestation of the abyss and confronting the beliefs that empower it.
