Background
Expedition and disappearance
In the spring of 751, Pinter deJersi led a state-financed expedition to the Southern Jungles, hoping to find and map an overland route to whatever territories lay south of civilized Citeran. The expedition was highly discussed and debated at the time, as Citeran does not allow sea travel south of a certain point due to religious reasons. Citeran did, however, allow for the deJersi expedition to be carried out after a hefty (and undisclosed) payment.
The 2 man crew of Pinter and an acquaintance, ____ was accompanied by 12 porters and animals laden with thousands of dollars worth of supplies and equipment expected to be used on the months-long expedition. They began the first trials of their journey through the jungles from the town of _______.
