The Golden Compass Explorers is a secretive organization lead by Toma the Dwarf Chief who can travel through time. The Golden Compass Explorers is comprised of treasure hunters who seek out ancient ruins and excavate its most valuable relics. One of their discoveries included awakening the sealed Merkios’, a skilled wizard who was corrupted by studying dark magic, and eventually sealed away. All records of Merkios’ were purged from history.

Toma and the Golden Compass Explorers manage to escape the awakened wizard’s wrath, but had to leave behind the treasure hidden in the altar. Toma is now looking for any brave adventurers that wish to risk venturing into Merkios’ Altar withpromises of untold valuables to anybody who makes it out alive.
