X Marks the Spot

486 CE

Belmont Dan Fearfeld and Nathan Palmer have made a discovery. These two accademics of necromancy, colleagues at the Magesterium Academia, have been delving into the libraries of the Magisterium and have made a remarkable discovery. The the long dead Thalium Empire had a bank of information on necronmancy that they sealed beneath earth to avoid prying eyes from finding it. When the empire fell, the location and existence of this place was lost to time. That was until recently. A group of so called "Adventurers" came back from the Grantar Desert with great tomes from ruins of a temple underneath the sands. As well as a collection of weapons, magic items, and potions, they discovered an entire library full of information from a world over a thousand years ago. Many of these texts were sold to private collections and some, those that were disucssing the magical arts, fell into the hands of the magisterium. It was in one of these texts that the author discussed The Thalium Empire's interests, and where Nathan Palmer started to connect the dots. Accross various texts, the bank of Thalite knowledge on necormancy is referenced, as is sites of their suspected locations. By cross referencing these texts, Nathan, working with Belmont Dan Fearfeld, believe they have found its locations. The authors of these texts discuss treasures and tomes releated to the art of necromancy that they believe the Empire has hidden, proposes its value, and discusses the merits of obtaining these treasures. They talk of tests, trials, and magical defenses to stop people entering and stealing this. Through intesne research, Nathan and Belmont believe they have found out where this place is, and are ready to go and find this treasure. And that's where the party comes in.
