Grim Verity

The Grim Verity is a society of scientists, researchers, and other academics dedicated to the research of potentially blasphemous historical theories.

Background
The club began as a small group of undergraduate students debating fringe theories, but eventually coalesced into a more unified secret academic group that investigates information that powerful organizations may find threatening. Roe Estani was a member when he was younger, but has long since left. Hondir told Bells Hells that at some point half of the Grim Verity had been killed in the past decade by mysterious Gray Assassins, sabotaging their research.

Not long prior to the start of Campaign 3, an agent of Grim Verity managed to rob the Temple of Erathis in the Quadroads of Vasselheim, initially escaping but later paying for this with his life. These texts included indications that Ruidus had not been present during the Founding, and also referenced a pair of unknown deities. In order to keep the texts safe, few members of the Grim Verity know of text's exact location, but, as of a few months prior to 17 Sydenstar 843 PD, they were stored in Yios.

Estani told Orym and Chetney that the Lumas twins had recently joined the Grim Verity, and that he had been unsuccessful in steering them away. Estani believes that the twins may have been assassinated because of their research, and as members of the group. He gave Orym and Chetney a sealed letter and told them to give it to Ebenold Kai should they find themselves at the Aydinlan Seminary, and that she would vouch for them.

Bells Hells met Hondir, a member of the Grim Verity who had been in hiding since his home had been destroyed. He provided them with more information about the organization, and confirmed that Kadija Sumal's study that included Liliana Temult was run by Grim Verity members.
