Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold

The story unfolds during the colonial era, when explorers pushed into uncharted regions in search of wealth and fame. Expeditions relied on limited technology, personal valor, and shifting alliances, making every crossing a test of endurance. The imperial backdrop frames a clash between adventurous exploration and the deadly lure of gold.

Set against the backdrop of colonial Africa, the expedition travels across harsh desert terrain to reach the Walls of Japora and the fabled Lost City of Gold. The landscape blends arid deserts with hints of jungle and ruins, offering peril and wonder in equal measure. The city is depicted as a place where Black and White inhabitants live with political intrigue and a leadership that shapes the fate of its people.
