Folklore and Fact: Mystical Artifacts, Week 13 [Thurs/2nd Period]
The display screens today were going through a series of images that some students might recognize as pictures related to the mythical continent of Atlantis.
"Atlantis," Sakura said once the students had filed in, passing around a handout. "The earliest known references to this continent date back to Plato’s accounts from 360 BC. Later accounts of it believe it to be the archetypal utopia – the perfect advanced society."
"Orichalcum, the legendary metal of Atlantis, is held to be extremely valuable, second only to gold. We have not actually obtained any yet, although we do believe that it’s likely to exist." Sakura went into a lengthy discussion of Plato’s description of Atlantis, and concluded, "Many adventurers have dreamed of finding the lost continent of Atlantis. No one has succeeded yet that I know of, but I do believe that it’s a worthy goal. And dreams are a crucial part of adventuring, should you choose to make that your career."
"So my question to you: do you believe Atlantis exists? Do you think searching for it is a worthy goal?" She glanced at Evie. “If not, what do you think is a worthwhile, motivating dream for an adventurer to have?"
[OOC: Class Info Post. Sorry for the lame class but I’m still recovering from moving this weekend –- no interaction from me until after about 5:30 PST since I’m still sort of lying low during the day. OCD is up!]
