Description:

Enter a world where science meets fantasy. The Oracles of Valeria,
shrouded in mystery as elements of fiction, could very well be within
grasp of discovery. Dr Albert Manning once attempted to find these
Oracles, his lifelong quest culminating into a single expedition in
the year 1995. But his quest proved futile, and his discovery went
unmade.

Today it is ten years since that crusade, and the three students and
colleagues that Dr Manning brought along for that expedition have
just received the unfortunate news of their mentor's passing. It
seems, however, that their teacher was planning yet another voyage
out to find these believed non-existent treasures, and the company
which was backing his preparations has invested far too much already
to not go through with the full trip. Lacking anyone prestigious in
the field who would dare associate their name with such a "childish
voyage" into the unknown, Manning's three pupils have decided to
place their reputations on the line for the sake of achieving their
former professor's passion. And, by doing so, hope to rebuild their
teacher's credibility in the field of archaeology.

Will their fantastic voyage find these four hidden oracles, lost in
both time and mythology? And if so, what will these Oracles show?
What do they mean? More importantly, where will they lead? Or will
the efforts of these researchers and scientists prove fruitless once
again, failing to bring dignity back to both Dr Manning and
themselves? Join the expedition today and perhaps you will have a
stake in determining the answer to those questions and many others.

This RpG will be fast-paced. Players should try to post at least
three times a week. Please review the Rules file and other related
game information in our Files Section.
