their

(the

free

> Ronald Chalker work for the 49 Wise. This is a bit of real occult
mythology,

to

quite

corruption

> next world incarnation.

> Ronald Chalker is one of their operatives. Alive for more than 150 years
> already, Chalker is what Indiana Jones would became if he was a lot
better.
> A real explorer, Chalker end up in a old Wise citadel, at India. He was
them

> this century, however, Chalker looks for solutions for the Wise, since
they
> can't leave their last citadel, the only place they now have, where their

> The Campaing is a way to make the players/characters explore the occult
> underground, and even trying to explain why the old magic has gone away.
> Maybe, we on the list, know it, and maybe the Wise know it too, but they

what
> Chalker is looking for: answer, and perhaps, even more questions. So, he
and
> the players will visit UA and Focault's Pendulum locations, characters and
> organizations and it's histories, hidden agendas, and LOTs of adventure.
