Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Back in 1839, Daniel took part in Herbert's expedition to Algeria, in order to uncover an ancient tomb, located in the country's deserts. On May 17th, Daniel became trapped inside the tomb after the stone slab collapsed behind him, sealing him inside. Though Daniel's body was heavy to carry, he managed to move on, and suddenly saw a faint blue shimmer, which was The Shadow's orb. After closing it in his hands, the enchanting light began to spark brightly and spirit him away. While having visions about "spiraling towers, endless deserts and impossible geometry", he eventually was freed by a few Arabs, awoke to several orb pieces clasped firmly in his hands. Since the incident, Herbert sent Daniel back to England, fearing he might risk the entire expedition.
After these events, Herbert, whom had connections Alexander of Brennenburg, had found a second orb which he retrieved. In hope that it would reach Alexander, Herbert's expedition had gone terribly wrong, as the only survivor, known as Abdullah had been badly injured, and rambled deliriously about the expedition being attacked by something horrible, which was in fact, The Shadow.
