If you are not playing the PC have a look at the NPCs - including reading the character sheets! - look at their virtues, flaws and personality traits and have a think about who you would like to play.
The PC of the story
Felix, one of the two senior Magi of the Covenant has requested that you lead a group east to meet Muhammad, an old man you have not met but seen at the Covenant and know of, and a man named Akros. You are to accompany them back to the Covenant. You are to assist Adolfo, a member of the Covenant you have only now met, in any way you can during this trip. Imam Salman is accompanying you because he has told you he wants some fresh warm air and would like to see the coast.
You have a number of weeks to reach the coast and those that you are meeting should be awaiting you in a guest house. Expect frequent stops in towns along the way as Adolfo goes about his business.
The NPCs:
Imam Salman abu Janeeta (Safe father of a Gift of God)
The Humourous but deeply Pious religious man.
Salman is deeply religious, adhering to the pillars of Islam. But he is neither dogmatic nor narrow in his view on religion. In the greatest traditions of Islam he views the Word of Allah as complex and open to discussion and argument amongst the Ummah. He will engage in debate, though always in a good natured fashion, to educate, not diminish, embarrass or provoke, he will joke and use his masterfully wry humour to put others at ease.
Salman’s role is to see to the welfare of those who live and work within the Covenant of Summa Tutela. He has been an associate of both Felix and Celestine, though not close to them, he sees his role as ensuring the safety and security of members of Islam as they fall under the rule of the invaders.
When not taking care of the people of the Covenant Salman has begun careful study of the Infernal, finding books in the library of the Covenant he has began what he terms: “preparatory preventative study”.
