It's our job to unlock the secrets of the universe, the promises of the arcane and the forgotten knowledge of history. Only by exploration, we gather knowledge - and with knowledge we'll achieve a bright future.

  Mythic Explorers are a young profession of highly skilled individuals. They specialize in exploring ancient ruins, and distant places - even heading to other planes of existence all in the name of research.   The first Mythic Explorers have been employed by the Lighthouse Labs after saving the Golden Coast from an invasion of extra planar intruders. What started as a group of just five like-minded individuals, expanded into an operation with dozens of people.   Over the decades following the founding of the Lighthouse Labs, many more organizations dedicated to exploring the secrets of the universe have been founded all over the continent.
