First Year 1214
Syrus passes his Gauntlet but remains as an acolyte at the Roman temple, studying the mysteries of Sol and acting as the representative of the priests within the lay community. Hoping to impress the assorted high clergy of Christendom, Innocent III prepares to launch a pogrom against "sinners, witches, and warlocks" as preparation for the Fourth Lateran Council. The existence of the Cult is secret in Rome, but adherents are often accused of superstition and witchcraft.
