Treasure Hunting
Just a short list of ideas that popped into my head regarding potential stories with Lara. These are fairly open-ended and have plenty of room to flesh out other ideas, and add to them. These are not end all be all, but something to help get the creative juices flowing.
------------------------------------------------
It's not a secret that Egyptian history is long and decorated with blood. Yet, they managed to build one of the greates monuments and cultures to ever exist. Ever since, explorers and treasure seekers have combed the endless dunes for long-lost secrets that they may have left behind. As modern technology advances, the grains of sand become more transparent and reveal what they've been protecting for so long. Following a lead found about a secret Pharoh that ruled for just one year, Lara has found a forbidden and hidden hieroglyphic detailing the potential source of a vast vault of treasures from all around the world kept by this unnamed Pharoh. One such treasure is hinted to be the Circlet of Ra. The wearer apparently is able to cheat death and even bring back those souls that have long departed...

- Beneath the World's Lungs
The Amazon stands as more than just the largest rainforest. Housing perhaps thousands of undocumented species of plant, animal and insect, the vast canopies have many secrets hiding beneath them. A recent visit to the region has led Lara to overhear a potential informant to Trinity that a long-lost tribal city is just beneath the surface, and that perhaps a underground network of cities run the length of the forest. These cities have never been recorded or touched by man. Whispers of rituals convening with unknown deities granting supernatural powers to tribal shamans have been spreading through Brazil. Trinity seeks to grasp this power for themselves and use it as a bargaining chip to obtain world control. Lara has to find these cities and learn if the rumors are true and stop Trinity before they can acquire these powers and to help preserve these ancient ruins knowing that Trinity is not gentle when uncovering what they seek.

Conspiracies have been rising in the last few decades about a land hidden past the great frozen wasteland of Antartica. Tales of lush grasslands and ancient forests and even dinosaurs that survived the meteor. Entire continents not mapped and perhaps even civilizations that remain sealed off by the great Arctic Wall. Just the ramblings of crazen online theorists right? That was until verified video evidence was mysteriously spread online showing a aerial view of a massive wall of ice, and beyond was the rumored green land that stretched beyond the horizon. Ever since, the video has been removed and all talk silenced. But not before it reached Lara Croft. She's no stranger to following crackpot theories to fruition, and this is no different. Gathering her will and assembling a team she seeks to prove once and for all if this secret land exists.
