What it is about
Three centuries ago, the Great War broke out and the wizard Hieronymus the Hearty vanished without a trace. Many historians have theorised the circumstances regarding the disappearance but none have been universally accepted as the truth. That’s where you come in. You are a scholar working in the University of Arcadia. For your latest research project, you have been tasked with proposing a new theory for the disappearance of Hieronymus the Hearty. With full access to the University’s libraries, you must probe through the various aspects of Hieronymus’ life, gathering clues and building a theory. Will your theory shake the very foundations of history as we know it? Or will you craft a theory so embarassingly wrong that you could never show your face in Arcadia again?
