UPDATE July 19th 2024: I've made a version 2 that hopefully fixes some issues reported by TTLGers, you can download it below.

Mission Briefing:
The Hammerite Imperium was once a great center of learning, arts and culture. It also ruled the
continent with an iron fist, bringing all nations under its dominion with conquest, plunder and
slavery. The Emperor ruled from the great basilica in Cimmura, and the Crown of Saint Alexius was
the sacred symbol of his authority. Nearly two hundred years ago, the Crown disappeared in the night.
The Imperium soon collapsed in civil war, as each faction accused the others of keeping the Crown in
order to seat a new Emperor of their choosing.

A month ago, the Crown reappeared in Cimmura. The Council of Cardinals is gathering to choose a new
Hierarch to lead the entire Hammerite Order. The leading candidate is Cardinal Proyas, a strict
hardliner with a dark reputation. His rise through the ranks was accompanied by the convenient
disappearances of several enemies. Rumor has it that if Proyas is named Hierarch, he will don the
Crown and assume the title of Emperor as well. If he can reinvigorate the Hammerites' faith and
fanaticism, the Imperium will be reborn and blood will run in the streets. A thief like you is
unlikely to thrive under a harsh new Imperial regime, not to mention the inconveniences that come
with war. You need to stop this guy.

If the Crown of Saint Alexius disappears again, that should keep Cardinal Proyas from doing too much
damage. The decision of the Council will be made this evening, so you can't wait for nightfall. No
one is being allowed into the Temple District until a new Hierarch is chosen, but you should be able
to find a way in through the sewers. A gang of thieves known as Silda's Scroungers, led by Scarlet
Silda, hides in the sewers and claims this territory. You'll want to avoid them.

Some gameplay notes:

* This V2 version has been tested with AngelLoader and FMsel.
* Running Thief with NewDark 1.27 (the latest) is 100% mandatory or this mission will not work!
* This is a daylight mission. In some areas it will not be as dark as you are used to. In this case stealth becomes more about putting things between you and the AIs' view rather than hiding in shadows.
* Guards on the street will not attack you unless they see you entering forbidden areas (mostly the church), picking pockets, or using a weapon.
* If you agitate guards on one side of town, you may find that the word has gone out to look for you, so now guards that ignored you before are hostile.
* Much of the loot is absurdly well hidden, but there is so much that you shouldn't have too much trouble reaching the loot goals. If you're one of those that tries to find all the loot...get ready for quite a challenge!


This mission was inspired by the unfinished mission "Excalabrius Harbor" by the Hammerite Imperium team. I hope I did it justice.

No AI technology was used in the creation of this mission.

what is your output when you run dmm.exe in your thief folder - what mods are active?

I don't use DMM and I have Thief HD and I turned it on and off and there was no change to my issue.
I am still using 1.26
