As we sat by the fire, our day's toils done, we sighted an old man hobbling towards us. His stride was weak and faltering, but full of purpose. Our own chatter dimmed as he approached closer, each one of us turning to watch him. "What is it Grandfather, why have you come?" He said, "Listen well young ones, while I tell you my tale."

"In generations past the people of Egypt have raised up great works to honor their achievements." His eyes began to mist as if he was remembering a great pain long past. "A long time ago a great evil befell our great land. They came from across the sea to the north. They were savages, armed as much with a lust for plunder as with iron. They had only love for the gold and silver they might pry from our great works." He coughed with a rattling breath. "We could not stem the tide." He leaned in closer, as if the agents of these long ago demons still haunted the land. "But they would not get our heritage.Pharaoh had one last trick up his sleeve. He would hide the Monuments from the invaders. He called together all the great leaders of the Disciplines and gave to them a relic. One each from the monuments of our ancestors. Each relic was a key to bringing it back into the world. He bade each of them to hide these relics where they would not be found by the foreigners, so that we might find them again when the time is right. I am old now, this body is failing me, soon I will go to meet my ancestors. Before I do I have one last task to do for my Pharaoh. I cannot do it alone. So I charge you with a quest. You must find these relics. I cannot tell you where they are exactly, only that they are near where the monuments once stood. You will need a special shovel to unearth them. Find them and bring them to the center of our world. There I will have started a suitable shrine for them. You must finish it, and then, only then, will we be able to uncover our heritage."
