I was on my way to Byron, the new fence in Southquarter, when I noticed that I've been followed by someone who appears to be well-trained in the arts of stealth and deception. This guy has either no idea what he has gotten himself into, or worse, I'm in deep trouble again. But hey, they don't call me the masterthief for no reason and getting rid of unwanted company almost counts as daily business. However, this guy was up to the task and just as I wanted to escape using the good old Thieves' Highway I noticed that he was a Keeper. A couple of minutes later we sat together in a dark corner of the Southquarter Inn and he told me why he seeked me out. Keepers...why do they always bother me with their troubles?

As it turned out, there is an entire district of Karath-Din buried deep beneath Southquarter which I never heard of before. The district was discovered by a Keeper exploration party shortly before the incident in Old Quarter. The Keepers who were scheduled with the task of exploring and mapping out this district even built a small Keeper chapel and were working on some other project too. Unfortunately, this part of Karath-Din was struck by a series of heavy earthquakes during that time and nothing was heard of the Keepers again. A 2nd exploration party, sent shortly after a severe quake, was not able to make it into Karath-Din as all paths were blocked by debris. All members of the first exploration party were declared as dead and the entrance was sealed again by the Keepers.

Due to the events in Old Quarter, this sealed-off section of Karath-Din has soon been forgotten again. Recently, however, a young Keeper scribe stumbled upon some notes about the first exploration party in an old book and the Keeper Council decided that this matter shall finally be investigated. And this is where I come to play...

Thanks to my "expertise", the Keepers want me to find a way into this sealed-off section and to unravel what has happened back then. Although I wasn't really fond on risking my life trying to get
down there again, this Keeper soon directed my interest on something else and more valuable according to my standards. The Keepers offered me to buy anything valuable I might find in Karath-Din to prevent me from selling it to some ruthless fence. As if I would care about preserving the heritage of the Lost City...Dammit, I even wish I never went down there in the first place.

They want me to find the possibly buried Keeper chapel and to seek out what has happened to the members of the first exploration party. The entrance to this part of Karath-Din is located somewhere here in Southquarter, in one of the local sewers nearby. Finding the entrance shouldn't be a problem, getting into Karath-Din, however, might turn out to be more complicated. Official documents dating back to the time of the incident also indicate an abandoned iron mine which was sealed-off decades before the first houses of Southquarter were built atop of it. With a bit of
luck some of the mine shafts could provide another way into Karath-Din.

I just hope that the whole place is still intact; otherwise I might risk my life for nothing...
