The Lara Croft that was on St. James has relocated to Animus. It is believed that she has undertaken an agreement to do some archaeological research for Lord Jonathan, in return for unspecified recompense. This appears to have created a vacancy in the Universal Nature of Things which had to be filled.
Within days a convention was organised by the Game Wizard’s Consortium in London to select the new Lara Croft. Despite interventions by the Regiment of the Keys, the process eventually selected Kathy Willis, who has now become Lara Croft, inheriting the name, title, the mansion and the royalties from the use of the identity in movies and computer games. Four of the losing finalists have been given contracts to appear at promotional events for the Tomb Raider franchise.
