The Iron Sermon
The deacon performed a miracle. Now everyone wants to know how.
The Ashen Church has been growing in Ironmere. Their message is straightforward: Verath's sacrifice was love, not tragedy, and serving the suffering is the only honest response to a broken world. The Wardens tolerate them. The Penitent Order does not.
Then an Ashen Church deacon performs a miracle, and everything the major factions thought they understood about religious power in the Heartlands becomes uncertain.
The Iron Sermon is a three-session faction-intrigue adventure for levels 9–12. The miracle is real. The question is where it came from.
Overview
The Iron Sermon is a politically complex adventure set in Ironmere, built around the arrival of genuine religious power in a world that has learned to be skeptical of it. The deacon's miracle is not a trick — but its source is not what it appears to be, and the three factions who want to control the narrative (the Wardens, the Penitent Order, and the Ashen Church itself) are all working at cross-purposes.
The adventure rewards investigation and faction management. Players will need to determine what actually happened, navigate three competing organizations who all want different answers, and decide what to do with the truth once they have it.
