Project Inquisition
Pitch
It is the month of October 1558, the time of Pope Paul IV of Capriglia Irpina. The power of the Catholic Church is under attack by Protestants and other minor sects. From Rome, loyal inquisitors are sent out to the fringes of medieval Europe to suppress all other religious currents and promote belief in the Catholic Church. Our story is set in England, near the border of still independent Scotland. Queen May I, also known as Bloody Mary, currently rules England with a harsh hand and shows no mercy to Protestants. You are part of an inquisitorial entourage on your way to Berwick (Berwick-upon-Tweed) near the Scottish border. The Queen has ordered the Catholic Church to seek out and eliminate the Protestant forces in Berwick. Your rank is that of a peasant, but still above them. Your livelihood depends on the support of Inquisitor Eisenhorn. You have sworn allegiance to the Inquisitor, for reasons of your own, but also for the coins. Your skills will help him fulfil his mission or thwart it. Whether this will change the fate of Berwick depends on you.
