The Ecclesia Fabulum, known more commonly by the moniker of The Chroniclers, is a church which teaches that life is just one big story being told by some great, unknowable being called The Storyteller. Existence as we know it is entirely within The Storyteller’s imagination, and every person is but a character in Its epic story.

Most people are just supporting characters. Even kings and entire kingdoms might rise and fall just so that one of The Storyteller’s protagonists gets the motivation they need to to continue on.

Chronicler priests are some of the greatest historians the world has known, for the church takes it upon itself to meticulously record everything in an attempt to figure out what The Storyteller’s story is all about. They each have various reasons for doing what they do; to understand, to predict the future, some might believe it’s the only meaningful thing one might do, to keep the story interesting for fear that if The Storyteller becomes bored It will stop and they’ll all cease to exist, and some actively work against The Storyteller for their own reasons.

Encounters with The Chroniclers

An monk of the Ecclesia Fabulum begins following the PCs around, believing them to be some of The Storyteller’s protagonists.

An abbot believes the PCs are not fulfilling their part in the story and tries to get them to go after what he believes is one of The Storyteller’s antagonists.

The PCs need to know something which happened long ago, and learn that the Chroniclers might have records of it. Alternatively, they may need help figuring out what’s happening now and the Chroniclers might be able to assist.
