Settings
Roopkund Lake Research Camp
A sparse field laboratory perched at 16,000 feet, skeletal tents surrounded by glacial moraines and exposed bone fragments. Thin air carries an otherworldly silence broken only by wind whistling through examination tables cluttered with DNA sequencers and century-old skulls.
Delphi Monastery Archive
Byzantine stone corridors lit by oil lamps, walls lined with deteriorating codices and temperature-controlled cases holding texts in dead languages. Father Mathias's desk sits beneath a cracked fresco of the Oracle, surrounded by genealogical charts mapping bloodlines across continents and centuries.
