About this quest
Step into the role of an investigative historian on the trail of a 300-year-old conspiracy. Your target: Cristóbal de Ponte, a ruthless Genoese banker who built a colonial empire of wine, power, and shadow.
Hours before the catastrophic eruption wiped his harbor off the map, his most valuable ledgers, and a rumored fortune, vanished. Did he know the fire was coming? Or did he orchestrate the ultimate disappearance to escape his sins?
Navigate through hardened lava fields, whisper-quiet convents, and colonial ruins to piece together a gripping puzzle of corruption and bloodlines. The ghosts of the Atlantic are waiting. Can you uncover the truth before it fades into the ashes forever?
