Backstory

Cadoras Damellawar approaches Harry after receiving a mysterious payment on behalf of an organization called The Silent Equation. The envelope contains platinum and a request: meet their representative at the old observatory to assist in decoding an ancient, coded spellbook. The task seems simple at first, but the nature of the book and the organization is unclear — and the opportunity is too intriguing to ignore.
