Quest Suggestions

This thread is for you, the members, to help shape the site how you want for it to be shaped - though more specifically, in the area of a soon to be implemented system, Quests.

We've been building up several ideas inside the Staff Section, but we want your ideas and suggestions to play a big part here. So what I'm going to do is explain how Quests work and post an example of the way Quests will be set up on this forum, and then I want you to use the template (which will be posted at the very bottom of this post) to make some of your own Quest ideas, post them in this thread. If they're good enough they'll be used on the site!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Quests
Characters have the opportunity to take up Quests, which span across the lands of Westeros and beyond, bringing glory, riches, honour as well as potentially rare and valuable items! To complete a Quest you must follow/meet all of the special requirements listed, as well as roughly following the pre-set story for it. The Quests vary in difficulty and Reward; the higher the difficulty then the more we expect of you when judging it, but with a high difficulty also comes a high reward.

The Quests come in three main Difficulties (Medium, Hard & Very Hard) and currently there is only one type of Quest that you can undertake:

Normal Quests - These are the most standard type of Quest available on the site. They will usually involve a standard story to follow, where certain requirements must be met during the Quest to successfully complete it. A Quests rewards will vary depending on it's specified difficulty and resulting bonus, if earned.

Each Quest has 'Objectives' that must be met for completion, and if a Quest involves you travelling to several locations (i.e.: from The Crownlands to The Cold North) then you must split the Quest into multiple threads (one in each area - Crownlands, Riverlands & the North; to represent the journey). If the locations you need to travel to fall under the same realm, then a singular thread will suffice.

Example:

Laugum of House Cressey stands before you. “It will not be long before my father passes from this world, and I shall become the new Lord of House Cressey." he begins. "However, as he approaches death, he has started to speak of the regrets he carries from things left undone, or mistakes in his past." An loud sigh resonates from his lips. "One such mistake was the forging of a valyrian steel sword he called ‘the Peacekeeper’. Though admirably named and made, it was said that the blade was forged with magic, in the hopes that the enchantment would inspire even the weakest willed soldier to fight with unrivaled fervour! There was no real enchantment, but the thought of there being one did exactly as intended...those dishonorable men who wielded the sword became enthralled to its power. For a time, it was held by the Commander of our house, but the blade was lost when he was killed."

Laugum slowly begins to pace back and forth. "Recently, we have learned that the Peacekeeper resurfaced in the hands of Alekyne Florent, of House Florent. The weapon is to be gifted to the winner of a tournament held one week from today. You must arrive within nine days time and take part in that tournament, hero, and bring the sword back to me so that I may reforge the blade and stem its lust for blood. Should any other touch the sword, I fear the story of the sword will corrupt them and the terror of that blade will be unleashed once more.”

To get things kicked off, I'm going to post up two of my suggestions from the Staff section:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Greston Harte, a minor noble of House Harte in the Crownlands, shakes your hand enthusiastically. “Thank you for coming. I’ve been looking for the right person for some time. I’m afraid what I’m asking is a little unorthodox. But my wife and I are becoming increasingly distressed. Ah…I am getting ahead of myself. ” Greston releases your hands and composes himself, clearing his throat. “Let me tell you of our woes. One year ago, our daughter Cassida, was courting Jorlan Wendwater, of House Wendwater. Jorlan is wealthy and well-bred, but that boy has terrible temper. He even lost the little finger on his left hand in an unruly brawl in a tavern, earning the epithet ‘Ninefingers’. Upon discovering his reputation, we naturally advised Cassida to cease her courtship and pursue other suitors…but Jorlan did not take the news well.”

Greston briefly lifts a handkerchief to his eyes, wiping away a tear. “We found Cassida dead in the orchards of our estate. She was…battered brutally. Of course we knew Jorlan was to blame, and we took our pleas to King Robert, who convicted Jorlan of murder. Yet his Jorlan’s father managed to somehow negotiated the terms of his sentence and they were lowered to a scant three years. Three years for what he did to our Cassida!” Lord Greston was clearly angered. “Abominable…we have tried taking our case to King Joffrey, but he will not overrule his father’s decision. I cannot abide the notion of that wretch walking Westeros as a free man. He must be," he pauses, then whispers, “Dealt with.”

“There is a tavern that he can almost always be found within. It resides along the Kingsroad, further North than here. Whatever it takes, you must deal with him. In public or discreetly, it matters not to me. It should take you but a day or two to travel to the location and deal with the situation. On the third day several miles South of the tavern, towards Kingslanding, you will meet my messenger - he will pay you handsomely for your service to the realm.”

Characters Eligible: Any.
Quest Difficulty:
Group Required? No.
Starting Location: Castle Hartestone, the Crownlands.
End Destination: The Lonely King tavern on the Kingsroad, the Crownlands.
Employer: Greston Harte, Lord of House Harte.

Request Objectives:

• Travel to the Lonely King tavern.
  
• Wait for and then deal with Jorlan ‘Ninefingers’ Wendwater with whatever means necessary, or find an alternative solution.
  
• Meet up with the messenger to receive your payment.

You hand a piece of rolled up parchment to an old prison guard. Before taking it he looks at you with a disgust that tells you he hates the entire world and all within it, though he takes the parchment without saying a word, tearing the wax seal and reading it thoroughly. After seemingly reading it over twice, the guard looks up at you and speaks through a curled lip. “So you’ve got this ere’ letter from the Lord?” he asked rhetorically. “Well blast him and blast you too.” he grunts, spitting on the floor down by your feet. You’ve been charged by a local Lord of a minor House to take all the criminals within his hold, a total of ten, North to the Wall, so that they can join the Black. They range from petty thieves to harden murderers and rapists; not the sort to be taken lightly. “Go on, empty all the blasted cells. Take the whole lot of em’!” he exclaims, throwing his hands up in the air. “I ope’ the lot of em’ freeze their bloody arses off on that blasted Wall!”

Group Required? No.
Starting Location: Any Minor House (any location).
End Destination: The Wall, in the Cold North.
