Werewolf Lite CCCXVII: Iconoclasm
Byzantium, c.730
Leo III, Emperor of the Romans, has just issued an imperial decree outlawing all religious icons and the veneration of said icons. These idols are to be destroyed, and all found worshiping these idols are to be punished accordingly. However, an iconodulist resistance has formed, and its members have been secretly assassinating prominent iconoclasts. The Emperor, fearing for his life, has tasked an elite group of priests and soldiers with eliminating this opposition to his -- nay, God's -- will. Unfortunately, this task force has been infiltrated by iconodules, who seek to destroy the forces of iconoclasm from within.

A maximum of seventeen (17) players can sign up. Roles shall be handed out when the game is full at the discretion of the Game Moderator (GM).
After sign-ups are closed, and roles passed out, the game will proceed to a night deadline.
The game shall continue in a day/night cycle with each 24 hour period (one day and night) occurring in one update. In this period, the day time shall be consumed with debate among the task force followed by the execution of a suspected iconodule. Sometimes the task force may deem multiple members equally guilty, in which case a Lemeard-approved TIE can occur, and all sentenced suspects will be executed. At night, the iconodules will assassinate one iconoclast.
The iconodules win by equaling the number of iconoclasts, thereby enabling them to overpower the iconoclasts and kill the Emperor. The iconoclasts win by eliminating all iconodules.
Roles:
Iconoclasts (12): These brave priests and soldiers are loyal to the Emperor, and they are filled with zeal in their pursuit of God's justice for the heretical iconodules.
Ecumenical Patriarch Anastasius (1): This man is filled with religious fervour, and he is determined to find the heretics at any cost. Using his knowledge of theology and his extensive political experience, he can analyze one member of the task force each night to find out if he is a true believer or not.
Iconodules (4): These men are members of the resistance to Leo's Imperial decree, and they have hidden themselves among the other members of the task force in order to topple their opponents from within. Each night they can assassinate one iconoclast to get closer to their goal of murdering the Emperor himself.
