"Your grandfather wanted you to have this" James, the butler of my family says as he hands me a rolled up piece of musty paper. "Its a map of his tomb, and his drawing room". Laying the crumpled old map on my desk I read 'Mordecai's Rest' penciled in across the top. The rest of the map shows where what seem to be two towers and a central entrance lead that the room in which my grandfathers body lay underneath a statue of both man and machine. "It doesn't say where it is" I think out loud as i begin counting out how big it is. "Yes, Mordecai enjoyed meditation quite a bit, his crowning achievement was and still is this tomb, created in his mind at a very young age, this place holds the blueprints to all of your grandfathers great inventions, lost or no." Gasping I reach for James i blurt out, "Where is it?" After regaining my posture I continue. "Grandfather would bring absolutely excellent creations with him whenever he visited, to see what the man had done for actual work and not play would be amazing!" after asking this James straitens up and replies by saying "I personally don't know. If there was any way to do so i think your father would know, but seeing as that isn't an option... I would say read Mordecai's books on meditation, maybe there you can find a way into it."

An old map, darkened by the passage of time. Don't try to find the place described on it, it exists in another realm.

How did you manage to get a photo uploaded? It hasn't been working for me.
