Norilsk is a city in Siberia, in the Soviet Union (modern day Russian Federation). Founded in the 1920s as a mining center, it is now the northernmost city with more than 100,000 people.
In 1931, at a diamond mine at the Popigai Crater north of the city, Francis Beresford-Hope, Marwell O'Brien, and Henrik Mellberg discovered an ancient artifact. Gathering a group of men to follow the map on the artifact, they reached the Tomb of the Gods, where most of the expedition perished. Knowing the power of the artifact, the three discoverers broke it into three pieces and split to different parts of the world.
