He hadn't considered the tablet to be located in Africa. For the most part, Nikolai dismissed much of the continent. He hadn't lied to Jacques when he emphasized Africa's value, but until recently, higher priorities occupied his attention. As a young man studying the Atharim, there were ancient histories to discover, but his memory, distant as it was, included no lore of theirs.
Perhaps a tablet, or some other object of value, was buried far and away. Egypt was rife with stories of powerful gods. A schoolboy could recite the fearsome names woven throughout Egyptian mythology. Now that he considered the possibility, it seemed obvious. "Possible. Look to the lands of Egypt as a start. The country is currently overrun by Al'Janyar, the overlords that rose in the aftermath of the disturbance in Dominance V."
Perhaps two birds could be killed with one stone. If Michael discovered a trinket or weapon of the gods of mythology while leading Danjou's channelers to defeat the darkness sweeping the states, Nikolai would be more than pleased. "Danjou is in need of our help, and as it serves my purposes at the moment, I fully intend to give him that help. Make sure he uses my resources wisely. Meanwhile, he has some channelers in the Legion who need ... guidance. I can think of no one better for the job than you. I'm also told native channelers exist in the region."
