The mysteries these Friars, the player characters, investigate are often mundane and unrelated to one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNonetheless, at the Abbazia di Palissandro, Rosewood Abbey, other monks and their flock are prone to interpret situations as either the work of God or that of maleficent spirits.
