Actually it dates back to the Priesting of Arlin. This is when the Camberian Council discovered that the Church was using special wine for ordinations that was laced with merasha.

The Camberian Council managed to switch the wine at the last moment for Duncan's ordination.

Bishop Arlin used his own wine for ordaining priests and ordained a Deryni or two before this time.

And slowly from there it has been "weeded out" but not fully purged until after the events of The Histories of King Kelson and the overturning of the Statues of Ramos.

The basic rules in a nutshell:

The game uses standard 6 sided dice for task resolutions. Under normal circumstance the player will roll 2 dice. The results are taken individually not added together. Any result of a 5 or 6 on either die is considered to be a success.

There are times when the task will be at Disadvantage and the player can only roll 1 die. Other times the task will be at Advantage and the play can roll 3 dice. The same rules above apply.

Some situations can raise the target number to 6 or lower it from 5. Players will never roll more than 3 dice.

As noted in the Q&A we will again be using the Tiny Dungeon's RPG as our base. The PDF is less than $20.00 on DriveThruRPG.com and well worth it.

Tiny Dungeons Book at Drivethrurpg

It doesn't have the Deryni in it but it gives you a run down of the basic rules. And due to the nature that this is a published game. We cannot reprint all of the rules on the forum. So the book is worth it.

And thus it comes to pass. 

Far in the southern reaches of Gwynedd, in the villages around the ruins of New Argoed, the harassment begins against the Deryni.

Minor incidents at first. Small groups of men looking for information of the accursed devil's spawn known as the Deryni. These men call themselves the Brothers of Saint William.

Under this New Willimite banner the movement grows slowly but surely among the old human families in the south. And their range begins to expand.

Meanwhile, another band of New Willites springs up around the border city of Rengarth. Harassing travelers and villages looking for rouge Deryni and Deryni spies.

These New Willimite bands target the Deryni and anyone who defends them. Bullying, increased taxes, extortion, and the breaking of a few bones. All are tools that are put to use.

It takes months before the word of the rise of Willimite activity reaches the ears of King Kelson in far away Rhemuth. And most dismiss them as only rumors and ghost stories given the past histories of the locations that the reports are coming from. Nothing seriously is done about it when the reports begin to come in.

But by then, things are getting worse.

I don't think he's a saint but I do see how he could be considered one.

Yes, this is all at the moment.
