The Jacobi Expedition was an exploration into the Duat led by Jacobi Henry, it began in A.Y. 279. Ostensibly, the expedition was in search of gold, but Jacobi's true motive was to map at least a large portion of the Duat and to potentially establish underground colonies. Land on the surface was at something of a premium, but space underground, it seemed, was plentiful.

Preparations

Jacobi's party consisted of a thousand man, fifteen hundred horses, seven hundred specially-designed wagons, and a huge backing from various organizations on the surface. The group carried enough food for an entire year, with the plan being to thoroughly map everywhere they went and establish supply-lines. Eventually, Jacobi planned to construct a mining colony of three thousand when they made a suitable strike.

Journey

The expedition began at a duat entrance located on the eastern edge of the Agras Plains. The exact location of Jacobi's entrance has since been lost, and was a well-kept secret even in it's time.
