The Kerkhof Route, once a bustling train line connecting Seregon to Port Holkenborg, has been abandoned for over a century. Jungle overgrowth, forgotten ruins, and unknown horrors now choke the path that was once a lifeline for trade. Clearing this route is not just about restoring transportation—it’s about unlocking the secrets and wealth hidden along the way. There’s no money offered up front, only the promise of opportunity: if you succeed, investors will flock to you, eager to profit from the uncovered resources, relics, and lands.
However, the real prize lies farther down the line: the Locantis Route, the lost road to Helderdink, which holds even greater secrets and the potential for legendary discoveries.
First Stop: Temple of the Lion / Ishtar Junction
Your first destination is Ishtar Junction, a station named after the radiant goddess of Love, Luck, and War. Beyond the junction lies the Temple of the Lion, an ancient place of worship dedicated to Ishtar, though its current state is unknown. Few have ventured this far in the last century, and even fewer have returned.
The Road Ahead
Clearing Ishtar Junction is just the beginning. From here, the path to Port Holkenborg winds through the heart of the jungle, with seven more stops along the way, each filled with its own dangers and potential treasures. But beyond the station lies the Locantis Route, where the greatest wealth and secrets of the land are buried. Who knows what ancient powers, cursed ruins, or lost cities lie waiting to be rediscovered?
With the Temple of the Lion cleared, your party would have a foothold on the Kerkhof Route. The adventure is only just beginning, and the jungle ahead promises mystery, danger, and the possibility of immense fortune.
