The Lord of the RIGS: The White Tower

General description

Eleven Rings for the Elven Queens under the sky,

Eleven for Mortal Men to party hard till the morning light,
Two for the Dwarf orgs in their halls of stone,
One for the Main Organizer on his dark throne.
In the Land of Thessaloniki where the sun does shine.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Course to bring them all and in the Oil bind them

I feel it in the water.
I feel it in the Earth.
I smell it in the air.

Prepare yourselves 'cause Spring is coming and Thessaloniki is organizing the epic "The Lord of the RIGS: The White Tower".

You will learn how oil is formed in the ground, the basics of fractional distillation and you will have the amazing opportunity to visit the headquarters of one of the biggest oil companies in Greece. The experts will guide you through the process of oil production and introduce you to their own Middle-Earth!
