January Quest Signups
Quote:As the year draws in and the days grow shorter, strange tidings reach the Weyr.
Riders that visit Tempest Hold find their reception chillier than usual. A pernicious rumor has taken hold: a dragon, or perhaps even two, has stolen beasts from Tempest Hold's scant herds. The riders, naturally, deny knowledge of any such thing, though the Weyr's leadership seem troubled. Closer to home, a rash of nasty tunnelsnake bites has sent several people to the healers for attention, sparking fears that an infestation lurks somewhere within the Weyr. Tunnelsnakes may also be to blame for the disappearance of a small party of miners that set out from Tempest Weyr, heading for the mountains to the northwest.
Whether these rumors hold truth remains to be seen.
Greetings and welcome to our first quest signup!
Quests will generally function as short staff-run group threads. Most quests will tie into the site plot, though we may have just-for-fun quest events of other kinds! Completing a quest will earn your character rewards, which may be OOC (such as currency or items) or IC (such as special plot opportunities or IC recognition).
Because this is our first round of quests, this round is also a bit of a trial run to gauge the general interest level in quests and iron out any kinks. Quests will be run semi-regularly by staff (and in the future, by members with a quest token purchased from the shop). Because quests will have different themes and plots, future quests may have different requirements for which characters are permitted to sign up. For example, we may limit a certain quest to candidates only, or exclude candidates and weyrlings for their own safety.
Some points:
- Quest signups will be open through December 29th at 9PM EST.
- Quests will be posted in early January and will run for 2–3 weeks (this may be extended if there's a need).
- Quests will include 2–4 players and one staff character or staff-written NPC.
- You don't have to post in every "round", but if you don't post in several days your turn may be skipped.
- Players will be limited to signing up with two characters for the first round of quests.
- More details on rewards, etc. will be posted when the quests go up.
- To enter, please fill out the form below and post it as a reply to this thread!
