LORESEEKER

SYNOPSIS
Tired of being a hero? Sick of having to save the world? Say no more! At the Royal Loreseeker School for Nerds, our students are scrawny little bookworms. No need for prowess nor valor: to become a Loreseeker, all you need is a green shirt, a sharp mind, and a passion for books! As famous Loreseeker Harry Potter once said: "Better to be a smart coward, than a dead idiot!"
In this challenge, you get to play a normal kid at school, with a single dream: to graduate and become Loreseeker! You won't become a hero, so you'll need help from your classmates and teachers. Form a party of up to 5 characters, fill your schoolbag with the necessary scrolls, and go search Varannar's ruins for lost knowledge! Under the supervision of your professors, you'll uncover ancient encyclopedias, annals of forgotten wars, historical tomes, and a myriad of other books filled with forgotten secrets!
