Synopsis:

In a world where every monster born of myth and legend hides in the shadows and the power of God can be channeled through man; five individuals solve supernatural cases in the name of the Church.The Clergymen is a Radio Drama that takes place in a 20th Century fictional Europe. It follows a group of five individuals who make up the titular Clergymen. Ezra - the prophetic leader of the group - who serves as a spiritual guide and Shepherd of the Eleventh Flock of the Clergymen. Silas, Ezra’s oldest friend and confidant, serves as the father figure of the group. Silas’ keen sense of perception makes him constantly sought after for his advice and has him fill in the role of the detective. Herodias is what is known as a lamb, in that she is supposed to be sacrificed for the group. As a lamb she commits the sins for the Clergymen whenever they find they need to for the greater good of the Church. Elijah is the youngest member of the eleventh order. A pious and curious child Elijah is a conduit of God and therefore has his prayers answered quickly and literally answered by God. Finally, the last and most recent member of the group is Alister, a man who joined the group in the pursuit of revenge against the man the Clergymen follow, a being simply called the Undertaker who leaves entire cities empty in his wake. The initial story – The Immortal Woman – has little to do with the Undertaker and focuses on the small town of Durinbar where every night the Bishop who governs the town has the same woman killed for her witchcraft. Yet every night the witch walks the streets once more unscathed. In addition to This Immortal woman’s apparent death every night, each time she appears another man goes missing. Now Bishop Edmund Martin and his congregation seek out the aid of the Clergymen to help solve the mystery of the Immortal Woman.

In a crowded bar, the tongue of one of the chroniclers of the Holy Sovereignty of the Imperial Church (HSIC) is loosened by his drink. Under the influence of his beer, he lets his guard down and is approached by a rebel wanting to know about the Eleventh flock of the Clergymen. Unwittingly he divulges the history of The Clergymen and how the Eleventh flock came to be, going into the account of each of its members: The Shepherd Ezra, the detective Silas, the lamb Herodias, the conduit Elijah, and the arcanist Alister. The chronicler focuses on Shepherd Ezra’s history, how he came to form the flock, how he met each member, his strained relationship with the church, and his mentor Cardinal Busoni. As his eager divulgence comes to an end, the chronicler promises to tell the rebel more about the Case of The Immortal Woman, which set the Eleventh flock down a path that would change the fate of the Church and the course the world would take.
