Church of the Blessed Union Records
While the records kept by the Church are much more limited in scope than those kept by the town, they are in much better order. The Church keeps records of who the ministers of the Church were, as well as their professional records during the times they were here. It also keeps records of many births, deaths, marriages, or other ceremonial events as far as those were chosen to be registered at the Church by the faithful.
Note: these records are not necessarily found in the order listed below, it will be up to the Players to tell the Director what they are searching for, and for the Director to determine which records they might find given a particular search.
CHALLENGE
21C using Research Skill at +3The Radulesc family name or variants of it that are reasonable to assume are different spellings in Royal Tuloszian, appear in the very earliest records. The family existed in this town from at least the time the Church was constructed.
CHALLENGE
21C using Math SkillRecords prior to 820 are in several books that are badly water damaged and eaten by bugs. Projecting the number of books backwards in time from the rate of new books being created as of 820 suggests the Church first started keeping records in about 760.

21C using Research SkillOn 22 Fig, 1212, Valor Radulesc was replaced as the Disciple and head of the Church here by Miriam Bornliu. Valor Radulesc’s name is stricken out in what looks like blood, and a sigil and the words Denuntatiu E Blespematiu inscribed next to his name.
CHALLENGE
21C using Research SkillOn 30 Bee, 1209, Kosmina Lalupu was replaced as the Disciple and head of the Church here, but the name of the person who replaced her is illegible and stricken out in what looks like blood, and a sigil and the words Denuntatiu E Blespematiu in inscribed next to the stricken name.
Denuntatiu E Blespematiu
The phrase Denuntatiu E Blespematiu appears several times in the Church Records and also can be found scrawled over some of the murals in the Radulesc Tomb.

Coins of Golmongarion
Coins of Golmongarion are magical coins, minted periodically by the Order of Golmongarion and enchanted to prevent the dead from rising as undead. The obverse side of these coins is usually stamped with a bust of St Zakari, the founder of the order, and a mint date for the specific run of coins. The reverse side of the coin is always stamped with the symbol of Golmongarion; the crossed shovel and scythe. Placing these coins over both eyes of a deceased individual who has been properly interred will prevent them from rising as undead regardless of any curses or infections they may suffer from. The coins will not remove these curses or infections, so if the coins are removed, such individuals will then be able to rise as undead.
