Portal Backstory 

A rare tome of essays attributed to Pythagoras named The Portal of Pythagoras was stolen from an important collection in Baltimore, Maryland over 70 years ago. Many assume this precious item of antiquity is gone forever though some believe it was smuggled down the east coast. A local historian and collector, J. Bradley Blevins, thinks it may be located near Boone, NC which matches a potential smuggling route from the original collector's home. 

Could this be true? Could there be a rare and historic book hidden somewhere in our beloved Blue Ridge Mountains? 

Recently, J.B. Blevins, a retired antiquities professor currently residing in Banner Elk, began receiving strange messages hinting that the ancient book, The Portal of Pythagoras, might be surfacing in the region, including an odd sequence of clues that are equal parts baffling and enticing. 

Blevins may be on the precipice of profound discovery. One, he believes, could shift the entire trajectory of mankind. However, he will need help locating the item given his physical disabilities. Of course, there are many who believe that this item is not a book at all, but something much more mysterious and wondrous. Only those who complete the entire journey will learn the powerful truth of Portal.
