Origins[]
Marco Polo was a Venetian explorer who travelled from Europe to Central Asia, documenting his travels in The Travels of Marco Polo. With his father and uncle, he traveled to the Mongol empire, meeting their leader Kublai Khan. When he returned to Venice, it was at war with Genoa and he was imprisoned, telling his tales to his cellmate; he was eventually released and became a merchant. His chronicle was the first detailed description of exploration, which helped inspire future explorers such as Christopher Columbus.
Effects[]
Allows instantaneous travel to the Mongol capital of Khanbaliq, but damages the user's sense of direction.
