"To All My Future Successors"
In his final years, Orbas "Orby" Zanou discovered a ruin hidden deep within the labyrinthine jungles of Iothea Isle. Disturbed by what he found but also understanding of the temptation of the treasure that accompanied it, he wrote this letter to be delivered in secret to each successor of his company, Orby's Borers. Along with the below document, Orby also left a simple, hand-drawn map leading to the foreboding ruin's location.
To all my future successors, As the founder and steward of Orby's Borers, I pen this letter to impart upon you a burden that I have shouldered in my final decade – a weighty secret that must remain veiled from prying eyes and curious hearts. Deep within the heart of Iothea's verdant jungle, I uncovered ancient ruins of untold significance. These relics hold within them a power that humbles even the mightiest of our company's endeavors. However, I must caution you, my dear successors, for the allure of these ruins is matched only by the peril they conceal. Within the shadowed halls of these ancient edifices lies a treasure trove of untold riches. Gemstones of rare brilliance, artifacts of immense historical value, and means that could reshape the fortunes of Orby's Borers and beyond. Such wealth could elevate the company to unprecedented heights, granting unimaginable opportunities for expansion and prosperity. Yet, intertwined with these boundless riches is an insidious danger that must not be taken lightly. A force, dark and foreboding, lies dormant within the crumbling walls of this ancient site. An entity of unfathomable power and malevolence stirs beneath the surface, awaiting the unwise who seek to disturb its slumber. Thus, I implore you never to tread where I have tread nor to reveal the location of these ruins to anyone beyond the confines of this letter. The threat they pose is not to be underestimated, and only through secrecy can we ensure that this ancient malevolence remains confined. Let the tale of these ruins and their treasure remain locked in the vaults of Orby's Borers for our settlement's safety and our legacy's preservation. I trust you will guard this secret with utmost devotion, as I have done in my golden years. May the spirit of adventure guide you on your future endeavors, but let caution be your constant companion. In the memory of the wonders we have discovered, the untold riches we have glimpsed, and the legacy we have built, I entrust this sacred knowledge to you. With unwavering trust, Orbas Zanou, Founder of Orby's Borers
