“
I am the light of the world: he that followeth me, walketh not in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
”— John 8:12, Marcella's TerminalThe Abbey of the Road is a Christian monastery somewhere west of the Commonwealth.[1] It raises then sends out missionaries to spread the faith.[2] Marcella, one of these missionaries,[3] can be met in Point Lookout. It also retrieves religious relics, but that is a secondary objective.[4] Its location is secret, and if you ask Marcella the location, she will refuse.[5]
Appearances[]
