The Age of Reason licensed unbelief, polished desecration into civic virtue, and ended when Hell answered the lecture hall without raising its hand.
Codex Ref. XIII.1.00-001
Cardinal-Marshal Severin of Avignon

Severin of Avignon held Montreval through the Atheist Wars: severe, loud, bloodstained, and too useful for the Bureau to canonise cleanly.
Codex Ref. III.2.01-007
Montreval
The pass-town that taught Reason the road was closed
Montreval held three winters against Lucien Artois's clockwork guns, hunger, pamphlets, fever, and arithmetic; a southern pass-town where Severin bought time with walls, bells, broth, and burned bridges.
Codex Ref. II.1.09-015

Codex Ref. XIII.1.09-001
