Hmmm....theres no origin forum, anymore. I guess this be as good a forum as any.
----------------------- Chapter one
Although he was a direct descendant of Girolamo da Verrazano, Guy DVincent never took his ancestors writings seriously. They were nothing more than fairy tales about a mythical, mystical city of Sorcerers. In fact, his entire family had forgotten the true importance of those documents after they relocated to the Americas during the 16th Century. Perhaps this was why he never bothered to give more than a cursory glance at multitude of documents that had been passed down through his family....father to son....uncle to nephew.....parent to child.
It was the summer of 1918 when Guy first heard of Baron Zoria and his Circle of followers. He was intrigued by the tall stories that were being passed around the neighborhood by recent immigrants from Europe. He wondered about the local rumors regarding the Circles recent disappearance from the European Continent. They spoke of the Circles own silent migration to the USA. They spoke of dark rituals. Seeking.
He laughed at the notion; those rumors, whispered in dark corners of the local pubs, were nothing more than superstitions! It amused him that the growing Temperance Movement and the rants of various Suffragettes werent more of a concern to those drunken sots. Still, he recognized that the Circles fabled search for Oranbega was somehow linked to his ancestors documents. He pondered whether or not Girolamos writings werent something more than bedtime stories.
He decided to study the documents a bit closer.
He was in the familys library, beginning to closely scrutinize the documents (for the first time), when the telegram arrived. It read;

Baron Z? Guy chuckled. Even if it was Zoria and even IF the offer to purchase the documents was legitimate, he knew that he would never part with them. They were a part of his family history. They were a part of him...fairy tales or not.
He returned to the library, the documents and his studies.
