The Stone Marker of Leaf Eriksson
Legend contribututed by: Sarge Pereira
"Five hunderd years before Columbus, a fierce Viking explorer and his tiny longship battled a ferocious storm in the Atlantic Ocean.  His name was Leif Eríksson.  Waves tossed along most violently, but the crew held on bravely to their oars, rowing whenever the paddles touched the water.  Leif knew that his father, Erik the Red, would be worried.  They had started out from Iceland week ago, but this storm had been pushing them for days, and now they had no idea where they were.  Just then, lightning lit up the sky and Leif pointed to the west.
"'Land! LAND!' he yelled.  By morning, the storm had rained itself out, and they drifted in the current along the white sandy beaches and forests of tall trees.  Leif named it Forestland.  Today we know it as America.
"He and his men left a carve stone marker near their settlement so they could return with other Vikings, but they never did.  The stone marker eventually came to rest in the Temple.  Your quest is to retrieve the Stone Marker of Leif Eríksson and bring it back here."
"Thank you Olmec," Kirk says after Olmec finishes telling the story. "Olmec, where is the Stone Marker?"
Olmec replies:
"The Stone Marker can be found in the Tomb of the Ancient Kings."
