Relocation
"My toes sweat at such possibilities lying so close to my mortal self. Each night I beat myself rid of these fantasies, but it is indeed a test."

- Herbert

In 1573, Brother Herbert and his fellow monks relocated to the monastery of St. Francis' Folly in Greece. During this, Brother Herbert recorded some rumours within his prayer book. Rumours about ruler of Atlantis, Tihocan, being buried beneath their monastery with his piece of the Atlantean Scion. Herbert appeared to be already familiar with the story of the Scion and the rulers of Atlantis. Herbert was attracted by this possibility that a piece of the Scion lay so close to him but he attempted to suppress the thoughts. It is unknown whether or not he succeeded.

Book Discovery
"Miss Natla put Pierre DuPont on that trail."

- Larson

On July 16th 1945, ruler of Atlantis Natla was freed from her imprisonment. Mingling with humans, Natla became rich and set up Natla Technologies. She wanted to reunite the Scion pieces and continue her plans. To locate Tihocan's Scion piece, Natla somehow came into possession of Brother Herbert's prayer book and used it to locate Tihocan's piece. She sent Pierre Dupont to recover it. On the trail of the Scion, Lara Croft broke into Natla Technologies and used Herbert's book to find out more about the artefact and where to travel to next.

FMV - Lift

 * Relocated now to St. Francis' Folly, new temptations torment me. Rumour amongst my fellow brothers is that entombed beneath our monastery is the body of Tihocan, one of the three legendary rulers of the lost continent, Atlantis and that with him lies his piece of the Atlantean Scion. The pendant divided and shared between the three rulers which curbs tremendous powers. Power beyond the creator himself. My toes sweat at such possibilities lying so close to my mortal soul. Each night I beat myself rid of these fantasies, but it is indeed a test.

Appearances

 * Tomb Raider (1996) (mentioned only)
