The Puzzlebox of Amun.
[/center] [B-Rank event.]Many ages ago, a true champion had emerged among men. A man who knew no equal. A man who crowned himself a King; King Amun. His strenght was unrivaled, his faith unshakable and his wisdom knowing no bounds. The followers were plenty, and many swore alliegance to this man. They swore that they would serve him, forever. Amun had gathered his most loyal servants and followers for a purpose; to create a new world, free of all the rotting contamination the impure had brought upon it. A vision had come to the king. A vision of a vast desert oasis, holding a paradise for those who might find it. The vision refused to slip his mind, as he gathered his loyals and embarked on a journey, deep into the heart of the most merciless desert. Blinded by their faith, the expedition continued to follow their king in his every footstep. Only one man ever returned, bringing with him only one thing; A blackened gemstone shaped as a key, that would unlock Amun's Puzzlebox and reveal his deepest secrets.
...Legend holds that every one-hundred years, the entrance to the desert-oasis opens its gates, under the fourth full moon of the year. Then, for the coming 24 hours the gates shall remain open, allowing any daring soul entrance into the very kingdom that Amun rules. If you have not left his kingdom as the gates close, you will forever serve his majesty.
A descendant of the man that escaped has called upon the villages for assistance with uncovering the truth of what happened so many years ago, while promising any participants quite the amount of money for their troubles.
