- In the region of Western Oerik, near the mountains that separate it from the main continent, there was a devoted church of Pelor. They were helpful, if a little overbearing in the surrounding area, and did their best to spread and honour Pelor's teachings.
- That is, until one day the church received a vision from Boccob, god of magic. The vision spoke of the church's destiny to become a powerful force for Boccob. The vision was so convincing that the clergy fell to their knees and converted to Boccob right there.
- Except Imani, the church's paladin-in-training. Imani was out on an errand and didn't receive the vision.
- When Imani returned, the clergy told of the vision and their new mission for Boccob. But Imani was devout to Pelor and reacted with suspicion.
- What follows is a conversation between Imani and the head priest of the church.
- PRIEST: Imani, believe me when I say that Boccob has shown us the way! We are destined to serve him!
- [leader rolls a 4 on Persuasion check]
- IMANI: Blasphemy! I know not what has afflicted you all, but I refuse to believe your madness!
- PRIEST: Fine! If you will not honour Boccob, you have no place here anymore!
- IMANI: *draws sword* I will not let this church be corrupted so easily! Pelor teaches that we must take quick action when necessary! I challenge you for leadership of this church!
- PRIEST: *remembers he dumped Strength* Oh... wait... what I mean is...
- *junior priest runs up, holding a strange white-and-gold pamphlet, and has a hurried whispered conversation with the head priest*
- PRIEST: ...Congratulations, Imani!
- IMANI: Huh?
- PRIEST: You passed the test! The test of... uh... devotion to Pelor! This was all a test to see if you would remain devoted to Pelor, even under extreme circumstances! Uh, yeah.
- IMANI: *suspicious look*
- PRIEST: And as your reward, you will be sent to a prestigious paladin training school known as *checks pamphlet* Sigil Prep! It's, er, very prestigious. And far away. Really, really far away.
- IMANI: ...
- [Imani rolls a 2 on Insight check]
- IMANI: Praise Pelor! I will make you proud at Sigil Prep, oh high priest!
- PRIEST: Uh, yeah, praise Pelor! You ride for Sigil in twenty minutes, get packing.
