On Lilith people with strong wills manifest the ability to sense and communicate directly with the warden bug. These sorcerers or Sorcs have tremendous power and makeup the political spetrum of the planet. Cal Tremon's mission was Lilith. Assassinate the reining Lord and find evidence of an Alien presence.
