THE EMERALD ISLE
The Great Explorer Society’s resident Irish historian, Dr. Ronan Gallagher has devoted the waning years of his life to the study of the fairy realm and the magical beings of Ireland.
His obsession came decades prior when his wife died of Influenza in 1919. He heard the banshee’s call, and he dedicated his life to unlocking the mysteries of the unseen world, the realm of the fairies. Ultimately, he believed that if he could capture a banshee, he would be able to reverse the death of his wife. However, the banshee eluded him. He became obsessed with Leprechauns, believing that they were the lowest level of fairy, and therefore his gateway into the fairy realm. He thought once there, he could finally capture a banshee and bring back his lost love. Nobody has seen Dr. Gallagher for months now, and you, the newest member of the Great Explorers Society, were sent on this meaningless errand… errr, special mission to find out where Dr. Gallagher is. Most members of the GES believe that the old kook probably finally caught himself in one of his leprechaun traps and has met his end, others believe that he is held somewhere remote, and only steps away from finally achieving success.
Either way, he owes the society his dues, so go collect… errr, figure out what he is up to! The last contact the society had with him was an empty dues collection envelope with a return address to his cottage in a remote village of Ireland.
