Part 1 of the Elemental Banes series

Part 1 is a heavily modified version of my previous mission, A Keeper's Betrayal. Those of you have played "A Keeper's Betrayal", will find many changes in this mission, some being quite major, with many new areas, new secrets, modified story and ending, new objectives.


Timeline:
The events of the story take place during Thief II – the Metal Age. Truart has been elected as the City's new Sherriff. Karres is the High priest of the Mechanist Order. But while the Mechanists and the Sherriff are involved in their sinister plots, the Keepers are occupied with a new threat, a threat with roots in an ancient evil, hundreds of years old…

Description:
Two nights ago, I received a letter from Keeper Troy, a friend of mine from my training days as a Keeper acolyte. He had written of some alarming incidents in Daleville's Keeper Compound where he serves. He sounded almost desperate. As much as I hate to get involved in the matters of the Keepers, I decided to look into it for the sake of an old favor I owe him.


He set a meeting place at the Daleville docks but once I got there, I found that the City Watch had gotten there first. I fear the worst for Troy. Tonight I must find out what happened to him. If there is to be any hope of me finding out what's going on, I must find him. I somehow feel like this is about to become a lot more complicated. I smell trouble. A lot of it.
