The Lost Tomb ➔ We move away from the historical period and step into the modern times as we shift our focus to Wu Xie from another family – Clan Wu. There, they must learn to navigate not only the threatening Japanese forces but the other eight families who are not always as friendly as they appear. They have recently entered Changsha as officers in the military. Zhang Qi Shan and his cousin Zhang Ri Shan are all that remain and seek to recover the name and reputation of their family. Clan Zhang was once the most powerful, but weakened in the 1800s. The main series in this era is The Mystic Nine collection focusing on Zhang Qi Shan – head of the most mysterious of the nine families. They serve both as a historical approach to the tomb-raiding concept and as a tool for understanding the novels’ world and its characters. Prequels ➔ The prequels focus on the rise of the Nine families immediately before and during WWII. The Grave Robber Chronicles can more or less be divided into three eras chronologically within the universe: None are safe against the guards set by the ancestors to ward off intruders. others are in it to preserve the precious artifacts before they are looted and sold on the black markets. Originally protecting the famous city of Changsha, the families have slowly branched out and relocated since the war - each specializing in their own methods and techniques for evading the deadly traps and tricks that lay waiting underground. The novels follow the adventures of the Old Nine Gates – nine ancient families who have controlled most of the tomb-raiding mission in China since before WWII. The original novels formed a series known in Chinese as 盗墓笔记 (Daomu Biji) or by its English title ‘The Grave Robber Chronicles.’ They were written by popular Chinese novelist 徐磊 (Xu Lei – Kenny) who writes under the pseudonym ‘Nan Pai San Shu’. It’s filled with mystery, fantasy, the supernatural, fighting, history – think Indiana Jones with less Romance and more Mystery and Intrigue. A great balance of enough romance (but not overly-much) versus action and adventure (tons). One of the reasons we love the show is that it truly is a great watch for any taste. You can easily install it and add on to your existing world or campaign.Although we have hundreds of mysteries under our belt, ‘The Grave Robber Chronicles’ universe has been a particular favorite since its first adaptation ‘The Lost Tomb’.
