Geocache Description:

Located on the University of Manitoba campus. Co-ordinates are accurate. No poking, prodding, digging, or moving of anything is required to retrieve the cache.

From the Encylopedia Frobozzica:
The Endless Fire destroyed the city of Mareilon in 773 GUE, after raging for 4 weeks. It was later found out that the fire had been started by a civil servant on 18 Estuary, who thought he was casting the ZEMDOR spell ("turn original into triplicate") but who, instead, cast the ZIMBOR spell ("turn one really big city into lots of tiny, little ashes"). He reportedly apolozied to the city with, "Whoops! My bad." The Fire led Lord Dimwit Flathead (the Excessive) to issue a series of 5,521 edicts over the following few weeks, which had the effect of severely limiting access to magic, and, incidentally, lawyers. Henceforth, all magic was entrusted to the various Guilds of Enchanters.

One of these edicts required that all magic scrolls be hidden in caches throughout the Empire. The Wizard entrusted to documenting the location of the caches was unfortunately eaten by a grue, and the scrolls were lost.

The location of this cache was discovered by a nameless Adventurer, who brought back the co-ordinates, along with tales of wonderous treasure and peril.
