The slender Kethie cleaned her glasses with the  corner of her cloak as the dust settled around her.  Her benefactor had paid her a large sum to locate  this forgotten place, and after weeks of pouring over  ancient maps, she had pieced together the location of  the temple. Now, she had a decision to make. If she  reported the location of the temple to her benefactor,  it would be ruthlessly stripped of valuables. But, if she  kept the location hidden, she could preserve the long-forgotten knowledge contained within. For a savant, knowledge is more precious than any sum of gold.

Specializing in the study of forgotten civilizations, ancient places, and uncharted lands, Archaeologists bring the light of knowledge to the dark and deadly places of the world.
