The Bishop's Staff

The magi are invited to an unusual winter covenant hidden within an ancient Roman town, believed by many to have dissolved long ago. Seeking a political ally and magical trading partner, they become entangled in intrigue involving mundanes and the Church. The adventure calls for magical, investigative, and diplomatic skills as the magi search for a vanished wizard, work to prevent a pogrom against innocents, and uncover the meaning of a saintly visitation. It includes maps and descriptions of the town, covenant, and its inhabitants, along with rules for Karaite magic, a tradition rooted in the mysticism of a Jewish sect.
