Maschine Zeit Epheseus Abby
Roleplaying module written by David A Hill Jr.
Ephesus Abbey shouldn’t have existed. Supposedly, it was home to an order of monks that had an apocryphal text from the Bible, an unearthed letter to the Ephesians from Saint Thomas the Apostle. They clung to that text, hiding it away from the rest of the world. Indeed, their station wasn’t on world records until after the Cataclysm.
