Brother Vitus & Brother Maur [TOA]

A new illuminator becomes a part of an abbey after something horrible caused his original monastery to shut down. With him, he brought a book full of heretical texts that intrigues one of the translator scribes, who caught the illuminator reading it.

Now together they seek and practice heresy, as desire and love is slowly blooming between them.
