LORE QUESTS.

LORE 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 the token-purchased lore-related quests for the game.

Lore quests are multi-part questlines that focus on uncovering a greater idea of what is going on behind the scenes, peering behind the curtain and uncovering information that might make or break how a character relates to the world, factions and their own goals or dreams. To be clear, these are all separate from Side Quests, demand a higher level of participation and planning, and are posted as areas get added and/or Loremasters get ideas for quests.

( There is a section for players to submit key interests their characters would have, for Loremasters to take into account while crafting future lore quests! )

While uncovering the lore is it own reward, sometimes players may gain other rewards based on their participation in lore quests; not every lore quest you undertake has universally good outcome, but every quest will affect the swing of relationships between the cities and factions. We are considering allowing players to pool their AC tokens in the future, but currently this practice is not allowed.

OOC, you will spend the correct number of tokens in your AC reward, then comment under a side quest to “claim” it by noting all participating characters. Players will receive additional details and information once the claim is made. After the thread/log/etc. for the mission is complete, you’ll return to the comment and turn it in. Loremasters will then tell you the further rewards + outcomes. As a note, you can only have one active lore quest per character at a time. If you're expecting upcoming time constraints, please consider your purchase, as dropping from the quest may cause the party to have to redo it.

Unless noted, the lorequests are bound to a single purchaser ( and their entourage ). Once purchased, the questline is tethered to the purchaser, but participants can change as the questline develops.

UPDATE 01/30/24: If unsure whether a personal goal is something you can simply play out yourself, or if it would qualify as a Lore Quest/AC Reward, the key question we use to assess for this is: will it affect the world of Kenos or multiple other player characters as the result of my character's actions? If the answer is "yes", we would consider that something you need to use tokens for, develop over time via threads/reporting on your Notable Actions, or working together with mods to achieve! If the answer is "no", you have every right to craft your own narrative for your character.

So, without further ado, get to questing!

Claiming this for the Meridian side of the quest, token submission is here! I'm still looking for other participants so I'll update this when I have any takers. Pax has offered Set for this so we are good to go 🙏

Gen will be getting dragged into this one! He'll also be recruiting Atsumu to help him, alongside a very unfortunate D being forcibly enlisted into the matter.

Tokens spent here!

Players Involved: Evy, Ren, Ruby
Characters involved: Joshua Rosfield, Yuri Leclerc, Shez

Investigation Details: In order to investigate the disappearance of Sain-Breq, Yuri has asked a couple of not-yet-harmonized Shard-bearers for their assistance, knowing them to both be capable and interested in learning more about whatever truth is behind the world they've found themselves in.

Team Composition: Due to the prevalent bias against Meridian among two-thirds of the potential suspects, their group is comprised of two unharmonized and one Meridian. Yuri is shrewd and experienced with leveraging his charm and good looks, highly experienced with plying people for information. Shez is an unassuming, naturally helpful man who has a way of getting along with anyone he gets to know, regardless of how different they are. Lastly, Joshua has experience in politics as well as being an academic at heart who wins people over with his kind nature.

Preparation: To begin with, Yuri has shared all information provided to him with Joshua and Shez. They first discussed how to approach the situation and agreed that they'd be best off starting with a charm offensive, deciding upon who would speak to whom.

Strategy: After making themselves a visible presence around the Spire and covertly observing their suspects individually, they will each insinuate themselves into their routines, offering a helping hand, a sympathetic ear, or affirmation as deemed appropriate. Around a week into this approach, if their suspects haven't made any comments regarding Sain-Breq and his research by then, they'll casually bring the matter ijto conversation themselves to see what might be learned. Shez will focus on Charante, Joshua on Garonne, and Yuri on Aigneuse. Their backup plan is to snoop around their workspaces or living quarters, something Yuri is very well-equipped to do without leaving visible traces due to his criminal background, but the trio has agreed that the least risky approach is their first course of action.
