SIDE QUESTS
SIDE QUESTS
The world of Kenos has many mysteries to explore, and not all of them are directly tied to the ongoing plot of Meridian and Zenith struggling against each other to claim the Oracles. This page is for compiling what could effectively be called side content for the game, but these are all chances to explore the world of Kenos and have some unique opportunities to discover hidden lands and secrets, gain boons or treasure, or just deepen your CR! To be clear, these are all separate from Lore Quests and are posted as areas get added and/or Loremasters get ideas for quests.
Because these quests aren’t part of the overarching plot, they’re effectively “missions” that characters can choose to undertake and the exact way the mission plays out is up to you! Consider these more prompts for threads or open logs, but with a bonus of being able to receive something IC for the effort. For an example of how this might work, see here (at least until we get some side quests done). Sometimes this may be a magical item, or other times it might be a curse! Not every side quest you undertake has universally good outcomes, after all. Any quests with significant risk will be clear about that risk!
OOC, you’ll comment under a side quest to “claim” it by noting all participating characters, then once your thread/log/etc. for this mission is complete, you’ll return here to turn it in. Loremasters will then tell you the further rewards + outcomes. As a note, you can only have one active side quest per character at a time. If you decide that you don’t want to do the quest anymore, just delete your comment. If you run into an issue with completing it (such as the other party dropping), just get in touch with the mods and we’ll work it out with you.
So, without further ado, get to questing!

ALENROUX

Monster Hunting
With many new Shard-Bearers present in Kenos, maybe it's possible to make Alenroux a little more hospitable. A group of 2+ characters can claim this quest, then pick from three mod-generated high level monsters to slay (which will only be pictures, its capabilities are up to you!). Their success or failure is up to the group to decide! This quest can be claimed multiple times and by multiple characters before it will be marked "Complete".POTENTIAL REWARDS
The overall threat in Alenroux is reduced with each completion of this quest. At a certain point (that mods are tracking), Shard-Bearers will be able to establish residences here. There's a secondary point beyond this where NPCs will then be able to establish residences here. Also, you get to keep the monster corpse, if that's something you want?POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES
All at player discretion.Claiming!

After a couple patrols of Meridian soldiers ended up dispatched by a mysterious beast, Liem and Akua ventured out to take care of it like the hotshots they are. Liem tracked it down to a region of forest where it seemed to frequent, and Akua laid a trap to snare it so it would be easy prey. The creature fought back with a disorienting sonic scream, and after weathering some projectiles and toasting, teleported away to lurk and (metaphorically) lick its wounds. Then Liem and Akua located it, immobilized it properly, and shot it full of holes.
The plan after this point is for them to examine the body to see what monster lore they can learn from its organs and such, and then Liem intends to cut off some bits to bring them back to the Meridian outpost as proof of their hunt, and also to bring down to Kowloon to sell.

But by bringing proof of the hunt, Akua and Liem will both be rewarded for their assistance in making Alenroux safer. They're both asked if there's anything in particular they're missing from their homes and may want here in Kenos—the clergy of the Church will try and commune with the Timestream to pull out what they desire. They're warned that this might take some time, though, since this is an imprecise art... By which I mean OOCly, request an item and it'll be their next gift reward, so long as it's nothing huge or crazy, haha.
Finally, Liem will make a decent bit of money at Kowloon because as it turns out... It's pretty tasty when fried! Go figure.

The thing Liem probably would request is a copy of the Manual of City-Building, since it would be helpful for him in drafting his report on how to develop Alenroux further. Sorry he is such a workaholic who won't request anything for actual sentimental reasons.

Each of the three found their way to Alenroux on their own, interested in the local situation, and decided to investigate together. Not all that deep into the forest, they encountered the creature and engaged it in battle. With their combined efforts they were able to identify and take advantage of the monster's weak points with minimal injury.
After this point it's been discussed that Yuri and Dimitri would agree to cart the carcass back with them to report their findings (they expect Midna will supervise) in case the monster's remains are of any use to local authorities. No point in wasting it if there is something to be made from such a very unusual creature.
