Journey to Damietta
Summer of 1231 - Adventure 36
The magi decide that they must finally travel to Damietta in search of the tablets that were in the Covenant of the Vera Cruce (True Cross) when it was lost due to the muslim recover of the city. While preparing for the trip, they discover that their rival merchant house, House Metaxas, has problems with the Teutonic Knights and against the Shoelim'o'v. Once in Damietta, they find the buried and sealed laboratory of David of Tremere, and follow the trail of his sodales Xydas. They rescue him from the prison in which Salima keeps him, and make contact with one wizard called Umar, an important figure from the Suhar Suleyman. They end up establishing themselves as intermediaries with the Covenant of Para Belli, in the Levant. Before they leave, they learn from a local book seller that there's one mysterious man called Tamat ibn Qurah, who may have access to the tablets. They tell the book seller to tell Tamat ibn Qurah that he's invited to visit them at Constantinople to talk about these tablets.
