There's a rumor that they were chasing ghosts who migrate around Europe, but are particularly active in conflict areas. Poland has had a great deal of fighting in recent history, so there are rumors the ghosts are somewhere in Poland. A Seeker who is also looking for this horde has heard the same rumors.

	While searching for Maribus, the magi were transported to a hilltop town featuring a Roman town that was apparently abandoned. The foliage suggests a location somewhere in Europe as opposed to the Middle East or North Africa, but the magi did not stay and explore for very long.

	The town is compact and laid out in a very regular grid of approximately 100 blocks (10x10). The city is partially ruined, with some buildings burned and extensive damage near the amphitheater. However, most buildings are still intact with furnishings that could probably be salvaged.		The town is compact and laid out in a very regular grid of approximately 100 blocks (10x10). The city is partially ruined, with some buildings burned and extensive damage near the amphitheater. However, most buildings are still intact with furnishings that could probably be salvaged.

	~~Key activities:~~
	* Re-organizing the scattered paperwork in the Basilica that can be turned into various tractatus; some appear to be a type of lab notes, likely be the priests of Mercury
	* Fixing the aqueduct; this will require extensive repairs and a team to maintain. Notes to come on this activity.
	** Note: This will require skilled recon and examination by a stonemason
	** Repairing the aqueduct is simple, but labor intensive. It requires 20 man years to repair the aqueduct, that is one character working 20 years for an equivalent of two seasons a year. This could be achieved in other ways, say 20 characters all working together for two seasons. Note that this is just repairing the existing aqueduct; originally constructing the aqueduct would have required considerably more labor.
	** Once the aqueduct is repaired it must be maintained, by clearing it of silt and debris (and maybe ice in winter), and plugging leaks. Maintenance occupies 5 characters every season, and the work must be done every season. If maintenance is not done for a season, at the end of that season roll a simple die against an Ease Factor of 3 + 1 for each consecutive season for which maintenance has been neglected. If this roll is failed the aqueduct is clogged by silt and the flow stops. If less than 5 characters’ worth of work is done in a season, then it counts as a season without maintenance. Once maintenance has been neglected, for every season of neglect it takes 1 man year (i.e. two seasons of work) to catch up on the maintenance, with a maximum requirement of 20 years work (at two seasons per year). This repair work is in addition to the normal 5 characters’ worth of work per season. The flow does not resume until the extra repair work has been done.
	* Salvaging the town: although compact, there are 100 blocks to go through, particularly the warehouses
	* Fixing certain key buildings (like the baths, or the burned down domus lots)

	In order to prepare for this, Geoffrey has sent his lab assistant to scout the location.

			It has been postulated that Khras-Nagar may have witnessed supernatural or other events that could be indicative of vis sources. It might be good to try and tease these out of him before the curse is broken.
