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!

STAFFING ISSUE

One of the characters in the group will receive a simple, hand-written note:

The “staff” at World’s Edge are a bit more than that. Kill or kidnap one of them. I only need what’s in their chest. Bring that to Kowloon and I’ll consider it good will for a chat.

- A

Kian’s castle is generally not open to the public at this point, so it will need to be infiltrated without raising the alarm of the workers (or Kian himself). Or, if they do, make a quick escape! It’s heist time, baby.

Some things to note about the staff for threading purposes:

• They are not alive! They are animated by a snowglobe like marble that’s embedded in their chests. It’s Shard-adjacent, but also distinctly different and doesn’t carry any sensation that a normal Shard would.
  
• Looking into these marbles gives a glimpse of a life that was once lived when World’s Edge seemed to be more populated and vibrant. You’re free to make up these details.
  
• While each person has a unique appearance, they all share golden eyes that are the exact same shade as Kian’s.
  
• For further details about Kian, please get in contact with Archer, since Kian is not a NPC the Loremasters control!

This quest can only be claimed once, with a maximum group size of three characters. Claiming this quest should include a general summary of how the group plans to accomplish this to help determine the overall success!

POTENTIAL REWARDS

A thread with Aetós for the “main” claimant of this quest. If others in the group are also aware that this is for Aetós, they can receive a thread as well. Just depends on how honest the leader is about what this is for!

POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES

If the group completely fails, a permanent consequence from Kian as well as being banned from World’s Edge forevermore. Otherwise, consequences can range from mild to moderate and depend on how good their plan is!
