Story:

After obtaining the Eye from the forest church I returned home for a break. Several days later, I still have no idea what to do with it. I'm fed up with being used every time a situation crops up that involves The Eye! I also don't want to give it back to Avidan and the Circle. I don't trust him.
Avidan... Indeed, who is he? The only thing I know about him is that he is a former Hammerite priest. Why did he leave the Order?
The Hammerite Order is very weak. It is perhaps the worst time for it since the "Time of Peril" and the loss of their beloved cathedral so losing a member of the Order is not something they take lightly. Since he was a Hammerite priest, he must have believed very strictly in the Hammerite doctrine. What could have happened to him to change his mind?
That's what I intend to find out tonight.
Since the rise of the Mechanists, there remain very few Hammerite temples in the city (that have not been Mechanised). Basso told me that last year a Hammerite priest ran off from the temple in the North Quarter and the Hammerites are still looking for him. It's possible that priest is Avidan.
The temple is one of the strangest buildings in the City. It seems that the Hammerites are affiliated with another religious group in Bohn - the Christians. The Hammerites are producing hammers and weapons for the Crusaders (the Christian army), and the the Christians are helping the Hammerites build temples and churches in return. It's going to be an interesting challenge for me to break in and find what I'm looking for. The only problem is that I'm out of money so I can't afford to buy new weapons. Hope I'll find something there...
