Lore

Sloan Cameron had an affinity for finding lost things since they were a child. They never lived in one place for long, and each new home meant a new expedition—on which they unearthed treasures, trinkets, and traces of the past. Their unusual talent drew them to the Wayfinder Society: a group of archaeologists and historians from around the globe. At sixteen, they started an apprenticeship with the organization and never looked back.

Due to their unfettered bravery, Sloan was a unique addition to the brilliant minds of the Wayfinders. From ancient ruins to dormant omniums, dangerous expeditions quickly became their go-to assignments. They often returned from digs covered in dirt, bruises, and local fauna, but always with a smile on their face, eager to learn about the artifacts they’d recovered. Their dedication eventually saw them graduate from their apprenticeship, making them a full-fledged member of the Wayfinder Society.

Sloan’s fearlessness came in handy for more than just expeditions. With increasing threats to Wayfinder sites, security often fell into their hands. Looters, scavengers, even master thieves would try to steal artifacts recovered by the Wayfinders. But with their excavating tools and quick wit, Sloan managed to fend off any would-be troublemakers.

While on site at Ilios, Sloan had to grapple with their most challenging enemy yet: Talon. The shadowy organization plundered the site with reckless abandon, leaving Sloan with no choice but to stand up to them. After a long-fought scrap, Sloan succeeded in driving them out. But in the wake of the attack, something stuck in their mind. What would such a powerful organization be hunting for in these ruins? It was a mystery, indeed… and Sloan could never leave a mystery unsolved.
