In the Name of The Old Gods

The Imperium is one of the major political, military, and diplomatic forces in the entire continent. Maybe even the world. And Nyle is one of its Inquisitors, the people who investigates crimes and provide their services wherever needed with their quick wits and arcane knowledge, the only know existing magic still practised in the whole world. Were it not for his straightforwardness, and perhaps even indomitable character, and his sometimes overly scrupulous manner, he would have for sure advanced in the hierarchy. Instead, it had been years since the last promotion. If everything depended solely on his superiors, he would never advance further. But the ongoing war with one the Imperium’s neighbour countries, the Kingdom of Zirak, tension in the whole country had skyrocketed after the emperor had ordered forced recruitment. Soon after, it burst into a revolt. In that harsh climate, a violent crime had happened, and with it an opportunity had appeared to get that coveted promotion. After all, it wasn’t his first violent crime, so it shouldn’t pose a problem…right? Well, he was dead wrong. Nyle would be catapulted in the most difficult, dangerous, and unbelievable mystery he ever encountered. And he has to solve it, for something much more dangerous and distorted lurked beneath the appearances. Something that could change things forever not only for himself, but for the whole Imperium.
