He is six years from retirement and going through the motions in his role as professor at the local State University until retirement. Dr. Langdon had been married for 35 years and lost his wife to the fight with cancer. It has been three years since his wife’s passing. He has filled his time with reading classical and ancient mythological stories which are fascinating to him. He lives in acquaint three bedroom, three bath cottage on university Street only five minute walk. To his classroom. He has no friends to speak of only colleagues in academia. He has a brother that he has a distant but fam warm relationship with. His brother Sam is in international imports and trade business and sometimes shares a surface level appreciation for an ancient stories that are tied to real artifacts. John Langdon has no plans for the future, not really happy and not really sad. He just is and for now it seems it’s just good enough to get through the day. It is on a Wednesday afternoon after too long classes, John is ready to relax in his office and building his strength for his walk home. It is then that the universities postman comes to his door and tells the professor he has a package. The package is from his brother Sam. In the package are two items, one an ancient Piri scroll and two a baked fragmented clay tablet that appears to be a map. Accompanied by a letter from Sam telling John that their discussion about the ancient dark elves just might be real. Unbeknownst to John this is a map to an ancient land to an ancient people that really exist. He becomes convinced after translating the scroll, and it’s connection to the clay tablet. He goes to the Dean and expresses. There is an archaeological dig of significant importance to the university. John requests funding and gives promises of artifacts on his return. The Dean is happy that John is actually excited about something, anything, finally and he agrees.
