TR: The Sanctuary of Water, Ice and Fire [TRLE] | Part 1 - The Snowy Mountains & The Holy Fountain

Blind playthrough of a custom Tomb Raider level made by Piega (released in October 2002).

Story:
"Far away in a forgotten land on the border of snow there lies an unholy sanctuary. Centuries ago monks built this sanctuary of prayer to eternally bring peace to the world. From their pureness a magical power was born and protected this sanctuary from all evil. All went well. Any evil that tried to enter & destroy the sanctuaries peace was slain by the the monk's divine power.

Thankful for this power amongst them the monks built a second sanctuary & on the border of snow, the sanctuary of water was created. The melting snow from the mountains served the sanctuary for eternity with holy water. Then a third was build, the sanctuary of ice to freeze the good will of mankind & use it in time of need. And lastly they built the sanctuary of fire to burn the unholy thoughts of mankind.

But even monks... are only human; their goodwill went wrong. The power among them became too big and they could not control it. One by one they fell to wickedness; their unholy thoughts turned into horrible demons. All was lost and evil found it's way across the world. However, there was one monk who survived. He burned his unholy thoughts & froze his goodwill. They became crystals and could not be touched by the dark evil. He escaped through the holy fountain and in the catacombs he hid the key of the gate - to the sanctuary of water. He locked himself up, protected by the holy water.

He wrote a cry for help with a golden feather and sent his message with a white dove into the world. With the last power of the monk, the dove escaped safely from the sanctuaries evil grasp. But without his good will, the monk could not resist the evil within himself. His hope for salvation would never come true.

Centuries went by and the sanctuaries were forgotten by mankind. It became a legend after the scroll was found a hundred years ago. It was examined by many explorers but no one could discover the exact location of the sanctuaries. Some of them claimed to know it's location but they never returned from their quest.

But things were about to change. Lara Croft just got home from an expedition in Egypt. Lara: "I'm bored Winston. Are there any more adventures left besides sand and pyramids?". "Well, Indiana Jones took some right out from under your nose but I think I have something different for you Miss Croft." Winston says. "Have you ever heard of the legend of the lost sanctuaries?". Lara: "Cathedrals and such, sounds interesting. Where is it?"

After Winston explained it has not been found yet Lara and Winston travel to the museum in London where the monk's scroll was kept to get a copy of it. Back home they start their research. Lara: "Did you notice something Winston back at the museum? The true scroll was written with golden ink. That probably means that a golden feather is used. This will be my new quest item!" and Lara smiles.

Through the books from her fathers library in the Croft mansion Lara starts her research to decipher the scroll and to find out were the sanctuaries are hidden. After days of research she finally finds it. Lara: "Winston, get the chopper ready. We're going on an adventure!". They begin their journey and after a flight to an unknown location the first ruins of the sanctuaries loom up in snowy mountains.

On a flat area in the cold snow Winston unloads the snowmobile and some other stuff. Lara: "What are those crates for Winston?". Winston: "O, just some helpful stuff that you might need later." Lara: "Ah, you're not worried are you?" Winston: "Of course not but you never know. Take this tracking device, whenever you need me I'll be there with the chopper!". After a final good luck from Winston Lara slides down into a new big adventure..."
