This is a campaign with a fairly long story line.
Brother Sabastian is an Orthodox Priest, he is also Patriarchal Legate to the Vau. In his discussions with the Vau he has learned of a great disaster that has befallen them that must be countered. The Vau warn him however that some of the Known Worlds major families (or parts of them) are involved and he should be careful who he trusts. He returns to Byzantium Secundus to consider what he has learned, only to find that many people are very interested in him and his latest discussions with the Vau. With some careful research he discovers that many close to his work are probably working for the Noble Families in one way or another. This means he cannot trust anyone within the Church, or Byzantium Secundus for that matter. He decides that the only safe way he can take action is to gather a team of skilled people and begin investigating the matter through them at a distance.
He dispathces letters to people he has befriended in the past and asks them to gather at Criticorum where he will meet them and explain what it is he wants. These people are indebted to him in some way, and were at some point in the past close and trusted friends. As he has not seen them for some time he hopes that "others" will not be watching them.
Unfortunately Brother Sabastian does not move quickly enough, and is assassinated shortly before leaving for the meeting. The people he has gathered arrive there and will shortly learn of his death. They will be given some information about whatever it was he had discovered from his brother "Red Harry" which will give them a purpose, if revenge for Brother Sabastians death is not enough.
What the players have to do is retrace Brother Sabastians last year or so and try to put together a number of events and clues they will come across. These will have connections in some cases so that one clue may lead to another etc. Some of the clues will fall into their hands easily, others will require considerable work and danger.
