Yet their religious freedoms, within reason, are protected...

I've sent one of my agents ahead; she will fill you in when you arrive.

Indeed, I was assigned to the investigation...

This feeling... The power! It swells and flows through me!

Ancient Kildean... From Müllenkamp's time.

Noooooooo!!

What's going on? You were most certainly dead!

There's a flood of vermin in this city, true, but it seems Sydney's manning the sluice.

So many snowflies...

.......

You were an assassin and a saboteur in an elite squad. Mistaking them for your target, you murdered an innocent family. For country and justice you would take any life without thinking, until you sent that family to their deaths.

The VKP (Valendia Knights of the Peace) have formed a squad to deal with the felons.

But if Sydney is truly the worker of diablerie they claim he is, I say fight fire with fire!

With the hostages inside, direct action is perilous. We must negotiate with Sydney while we collect information to aid our final―

It is no matter, you are merely doing your duty.

They seem less focused than our visitors last night.

Buggered if I know!

It's no use. We must make haste.

...Show them who they're dealing with! Torch the chambers and kill the hostages!!

Hold it!

Did you not verify their corpses?

You are the hand of justice. We... we are the hand of justice.

A fight for territory wrought from darkness.

Where is the “key?”

This the only way in?

They were wrong to picnic here.

These streets already teem with souls. All that is needed is the key.

Come down and see for yourself...

Forgive me, Marco. You must have been lonely...

Ever the choirboy!

At its height, Leá Monde was a thriving community more than 5,000 people strong. 25 years ago, a great earthquake brought that chapter in Leá Monde's history to a close.

The key?

Grissom. You have left this coil! The Dark has filled you; you have joined the cold ones!!

It is only a book... a covenant. Yet it is the Prime Mover, the machinery of life itself.

Merlose? Merlose!! Where are you? Where?

I... I could not...

Kill... Kill them all...

You need me.

...He intends to die.

Indeed, Valendia might still be at war with itself, were it not for the duke's heroism. Yet he wields much of his power from the shadows.
