Being a relic hunter means becoming an unrelenting archeologist and fearless adventurer who isn't afraid to rediscover items and locations thought lost to time.

Venturing Outward
Many relic hunters begin their journey in the town of Rastein. There a central dig site has been set up to access the Stein for excavation. However, as an adventurer it is likely you have a desire to travel farther than just the sands of one desert. There is a whole world of ancient sites out there to discover.
Maybe you are interested in discovering the history of different civilizations? Is there a specific artifact that intrigues you, driving you to find it? Or is your quest more personal, a family matter that can only be solved by diving into the oldest parts of the world? Speak with your GM and figure out what drives you beyond your beginnings.
