From the introduction:
Big cities and organized crime usually go hand in hand. Yet, the holy city of Kalke seems to harbour no unsavoury elements whatsoever. The streets are both clean and safe. There are no black-markets, no gambling houses, and no brothels. The devout citizens of Kalke attribute their peace to the wise leadership of their Gods’ representative on Earth: Praetor Benin of Catena. It is said, that through his wise leadership, no evil shall ever be able to put down roots into Kalke. Any sinner caught within the city’s walls will be purified in the temple of Catena Rock and emerge as a God-fearing citizen. How-ever, tales and legends do not always reflect the entire truth. In reality, Praetor Benin rules his city of chains through religious fear-mongering and propaganda. The famous Catena Rock may look like a temple, but it functions much like prison. Within its halls, dissenters either get worked to death or “encouraged” to swear their loyalty the theocracy of Kalke. Rumour also has it, that an ancient God is bound to an altar under Catena Rock, devouring the souls of the hopeless sinners trapped within.
