Delver of Secrets

Hundreds of secrets lurk just below the surface of Innistrad. Friendly townspeople who become bloodthirsty beasts overnight, graveyards that cough up family skeletons, and even the sealed vaults of the Church of Avacyn. In a word with so many secrets, perhaps it is of little surprise that there are those ho actively dedicate their lives to unearthing them, no matter the cost to others-or to themselves.   Lurking Beyond the Surface The phrase "There is no such thing as a question without an answer" is doubly true in the provinces of Innistrad. Rarely is a situation as simple as it seems at first or even second glance. Every question that is asked has a surface answer, visible to everyone, and a hidden answer whose discovery requires phrasing the question correctly. The mayor didn't just kill his wife, but becomes a bloodthirsty beast on the full moon. The butcher wasn't serving spoiled meat, but is the reason his sickly neighbors keep disappearing. No one on Innistrad has seen Avacyn in years, but the demons still haven't returned. In the end, no matter how hard someone struggles to hide it, the real answer always finds the light of day eventually.   Searching for New Questions Innistrad's abundance of secrets and hidden information make it a dangerous place for most of its residents, but a wonderland for those driven fully by curiosity. On the surface, Innistrad's secret places hold werewolves, geists, vampires, haunted fens and moorlands, and lost relics buried in overgrown ruins. But these discoveries can sate the appetite for only so long, before a true delver of secrets must begin to dig even deeper, turning from finding hidden answers to discovering questions no one had even thought to ask. What does a werewolf look like on the inside? What's the threshold of burn damage on a corpse for creating a geist? Answering such questions requires not only investigation, but scientific research.
