There is a new couple down in the old Winery Gardens, outside of the Winery walls, and they have a mission.

Equestrian Center Gardener

bjorn

Hello! What a gorgeous horse you have!

I’m sorry. I should introduce myself. I am Bjorn, master gardener, artist, and renaissance man, at your service. Your horse must be the most beautiful horse to ever trod the green hills of Jorvik. I absolutely have to paint a portrait of your horse sometime!

Aha, and here beside me is Agnetha, my dear wonderful wife. Together we are a formidable gardening team with a brilliant vision, a sacred mission! We are going to restore the Winery gardens to their former glory.

Now I have a great idea! You should join us! No… I won’t take no for an answer. I can see it now… Bjorn, Agnetha, and Rita… In an article together in the Jorvik Gazette… “Together they accomplished the task of the century and restored the Eighth Wonder of the World – The Silverglade Gardens!”

This is going to be fantastic! Take these measuring sticks, or whatever they are called, and put them into the ground over there by the paddock. When that is done, my dear wife Agnetha can start working.

Objectives: Plan the measuring sticks around the garden beside the paddock.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Winery Master Gardeners

Go up the hill towards the outdoor arena, and place the markers on the indicated locations. This is the home of the future Sun Garden. When you are done, return to Bjorn.

bjorn

That’s great Rita! This is so exciting! Now you need to speak with Agnetha, let her know she can start clearing the garden now. Hurry, hurry, hurry!

A Careful Cleaning of the Land

agnetha

Wait.

Wait…

 BURRRRP!!!

Whoa… That really hit the spot! That was a great sandwich. Full of mayonnaise, shrimp, and all sorts of great stuff. What can I do for you now?

Whoa… Hold it right there. You don’t get to ride up her on your little pony and try to tell me how you should clear some land. I don’t think so. Listen to me now little girl. This requires the real thing!

Ride over to my old friend Barney and ask him to return the chainsaw I loaned him last year… That and a little dynamite I have under my bed should be just the thing to get this job done right in this little garden.

This is going to be perfect… Then my little darling man can put his little flowers just where he wants them. 

Objectives: Borrow a chainsaw from Barney.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 20 with Winery Master Gardeners

Barney can be found at his silo near Silverglade Village.

barney

Agnetha’s chainsaw? Yep, I have it.

Quest completed

______________

Agnetha’s Chainsaw

barney

This chainsaw wasn’t really of much use to me Rita. It is so big that it takes at least three men to even lift it off the ground. Taking it away on horseback shouldn’t be a problem though.

Give my best to Bjorn and Agnetha. See you later!

Objectives: Ride back to Agnetha with the chainsaw.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

Agnetha should be happy to see her precious dear chainsaw again.

agnetha

It’s about time, Rita. And here is the chainsaw we talked about, let’s have a look at it…

It is smaller than I remember, but… I guess it might work to clear the area with this little toothpick… But it might take a long time. 

Okay. Come back tomorrow, stand back and let a real woman do her job.

Quest completed

Return to Bjorn tomorrow.

A Seed is Soon Planted

bjorn

Have you seen it Rita? What a spellbindingly beautiful garden that is now showing us its naked face. It is a truly magical feeling isn’t it? It is going to be truly breathtaking… I simply can’t wait!

Now we need to plant flowers, flowers, and even MORE flowers! Ride as fast as you can over to Felix in Silverglade Village and ask if we can get some pansy seeds from him.

Hurry up Rita!

Objectives: Felix in Silverglade Village has seeds for Bjorn.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

Ride to Silverglade Village and ask Felix about getting the pansy seeds for the garden.

felix

Pansy seeds? Of course, no problem at all. You’ll have them in an instant!

Quest completed

______________

Future Pansies

felix

Here are the seeds, Rita. Take them over to Bjorn and Agnetha right away. Hurry!

Why am I so stressed? Have you met Agnetha when she is angry? No? It is something you never want to experience Rita!

Objectives: Ride back to Bjorn with the seeds from Felix.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

Hurry, before you incur the wrath of Agnetha!

bjorn

Hey Rita. Did you get the seeds from Felix? Oh, he is so thoughtful. Now we need to start planting them!

Quest completed

______________

Pansy Planting

bjorn

Finally, the glorious day has arrived! Now we will sow the seeds of our fantastic flower friends that will soon grace us with their blooms. Oh, I’m positively dizzy with excitement Rita! This is the best day of my life! I think I might faint!

Thud!

…

…

Oh…? How are you?

Of course, we are going to plant! Hurry up Rita, I feel a little dizzy… I think I need to rest a little… But please take the seeds and plant them in the ground.

Objectives: Plant the seeds in the garden by the paddock.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

Plant the seeds in the indicated areas, then return to Bjorn.

bjorn

Fantastic Rita, it is so exciting that I might die! When are they going to bloom?! I think I might explode!!

Quest completed

______________

Plumbing in the Garden

agnetha

Ah ah aaa! That is close enough Rita. You don’t need to come any close than that on your little horse.

Ah yes. We will need to repair the pipes. You should know that here on this old broken farm the pipes are of the worst possible quality. They break all the time and I don’t have time to fix them all AND help Bjorn with everything he wants done. He is completely worthless with anything that resembles real work, just in case you haven’t figured that out yet. How are you with fixing things, sweetie? Are you as useless as Bjorn or are you ready to get dirty and get things done?

You can? I’m glad to hear it. We like your kind of person here.

Have a look at these things here. This is my plumbing work kit. Be careful with it as these things are expensive. Take the tools with you to the garden and repair those broken pipes and come back later. Don’t be lazy now. This is good old-fashioned work.

Objectives: Repair the pipes over by the Sun Garden.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

Ride up to the broken pipe and use the plumbing kit to fix it. Return to Agnetha when you are finished.

agnetha

Good going little Rita! Now the flowers won’t have to die of thirst, like someone else here I could mention.

Quest completed

______________

The Big Secret

agnetha

Listen now, little Rita. The real secret behind this garden idea is a new invention, a super-fertilizer that I have discovered. It should get the flowers to grow and bloom in no time at all. You thought I was only good at running chainsaws and blowing things up, didn’t you? Well… You thought wrong. I have a good head on my shoulders, alright. 

When I worked over at Jorvik Stables, I used to muck the stalls, from morning to late at night, every day. I noticed everything grew very fast on the manure pile. I tested it by tossing a bundle of seeds on the pile one night and when I came back in the morning the pile was coated with tulips. So I asked Herman, the boss there, “Herman sweetie, it doesn’t make sense for this fertilizer to just be lying here, right? Why don’t I just buy it all for a cheap penny?” and he answered “Of course you can.” So now I have exclusive rights to the world’s best fertilizer, direct from Jorvik Stables, and we are going to use it to grow our flowers.

But anyways little Rita. I’m standing here and wasting valuable time we could be using to work instead. Here, take this sack of super-fertilizer and empty it in the Sun Garden. I know it doesn’t exactly smell like roses but you can use a clothespin on your nose.

Objectives: Spread the fertilizer out on the flower beds in the Sun Garden.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

Place the fertilizer on the indicated spots in the garden, the return to Agnetha when you are finished.

agnetha

Well done Rita! Now we just have to wait and let the super-fertilizer do its work. Come back tomorrow and we’ll have a look at it.

Quest completed

Return to Agnetha tomorrow.

______________

Not Only Flowers

agnetha

Listen up now. My patented super-fertilizer works too well. It isn’t only the flowers that grow quickly… But  the weeds too. We’ll we can’t have that, can we? Now it is time for you to roll up your sleeve and do some honest old-fashioned work. You are a little skinny to use my chainsaw… Don’t you eat enough breakfast?

Anyways, this is what we should do. Take these garden shears and clear out all the weeds in the Sun Garden. Don’t come back until all the weeds are gone. Get to it… Go on… Go.

Objectives: Get rid of the weeds in the Sun Garden.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

Go up to the Sun Garden and remove the weeds. Return to Agnetha when you are finished.

agnetha

There we go. The weeds are all gone, like they should be. Very well done. 

Quest completed

______________

Thirsty Flowers

agnetha

Rita, come over here for a second.

You… Well… This isn’t good.

You didn’t do a good job when you were repairing the pipes in the Sun Garden. Now they are spraying water all over the place again. We don’t like this kind of bad quality work here, little Rita. You’ll need to run down there and repair the pipes again… But do it properly this time. I’ve got my eye on you Rita.

Objectives: Repair the pipe by the Sun Garden again.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

Repair the pipe the same way you did the first time, the return to Agnetha.

agnetha

There we go. I don’t see water spraying all over the place anymore.

Doesn’t that feel good Rita? Real honest hard work is like food for the soul… Like I always say to Bjorn.

Now we’ll wait and see what happens. One more night, Rita, and I’m sure we’ll see the flowers have bloomed.

Quest completed

Return to Agnetha tomorrow.

______________

Invasion in the Garden

agnetha

Hold on there, Rita. We have a serious situation here that I need to take care of.

You want to help?

That’s the right attitude, Rita! I can always count on you through thick and thin!

Listen up now. Some sneaky parasites have sneaked into the garden and are trying to steal the fruit of our labor. Those little biters are sneaky as can be and I haven’t managed to catch a single one of them. I am completely worn out… No matter how quick I am, they jump back down into their holes as soon as I get close. I think you need to sneak up on them… Maybe you could give it a try?

Good! Take this sack and stuff it with those little guys. You’ll need to sneak up on them to be able to catch them, remember that. 

Objectives: Catch the chipmunks in the garden. Sneak up on them from behind and catch them in the sack. Remember they are scared of you and your horse, so don’t put your horse too close to any of the holes.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

You have to approach the chipmunks from behind or from the side. If you approach from the front, they will jump into their hole. When you move away from the hole, they will jump back out, facing a different direction.

When you have caught all of the chipmunks, return to Agnetha.

agnetha

Well done, Rita! There are a lot of those little guys in the sack!

What should we do with these little parasites? I’d like to throw them off a cliff… But Bjorn would never agree to anything like that. 

Quest completed

______________

A New Home for the Little Biters

agnetha

We can send them to old Steve’s. He and I don’t really get along, but take the little guys there. He like small animals like this. I guess birds of a feather flock together… Ha ha!

Objectives: Ride over to Steve’s with the chipmunks.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

Take the chipmunks to Steve. He should be delighted with the new additions to his farm.

Chipmunks? How nice! My own little guys need some new friends.

Back to Bjorn

steve

Agnetha? She is completely crazy, Rita! Are you sure you are going to work for her? Did you know she worked on my farm before? But it didn’t work out. Even on Sundays she was out there chopping wood and plowing the fields. I thought she would take some time off… But she never did, ever. She didn’t want me to rest either! I was afraid of going out of my house until it was dark. I had to let her go… It was just too stressful having her here.

But send my greetings to Bjorn and let him know the chipmunks are going to fit in well here. Bye bye, Rita!

Objectives: Ride back to Bjorn.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 50 with Winery Master Gardeners

Return to Bjorn and tell him that the little chipmunks will live out their lives happily on Steve’s farm.

bjorn

Hello Rita! So our little chipmunks are going to have a good life over at Steve’s? That is great to hear. Agnetha can get a little fired up when she thinks people are not working hard enough… So she doesn’t get along well with Steve. I think it is a little sad… Steve and I have a lot in common…

But you, Rita. Now we need to work day and night to get these flowers to bloom! We can’t possibly manage it without your help, so please come here every day, take care of a couple things, and before you know it… It will be harvest time! I’m so excited about all of this, I just might pee myself!

(Oh dear, I really wish you wouldn’t… I will not clean up that mess…)

Quest completed

______________

A Vision for the Sun Garden

bjorn

Wait… I have a vision…

Yeeessss! That is how it should be! Think Rita, you are sitting and relaxing, surrounded by our beautiful flowers. What could be more relaxing than that? I’ll tell you! A little pool with bubbling fresh water!

As luck would have it, we already have a pool here but there are so many holes in it that I am afraid to fill it with water. If you can find stones for me, I can patch it. We can’t just use any old rocks… They need to be the exact right kind, otherwise it will look uncommonly awful… You understand, right?

The perfect stones are only at one place in all of Jorvik… Below the cliffs to the Winery. So it isn’t that far away… Pretty lucky right?!

Ride over there, close to the riding arena, and collect some of those perfect stones. Hurry!

Objectives: Pick up some stones down the cliff from the Winery, close to the riding arena.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Winery Master Gardeners

You will have to leave the garden and go on the road to the riding arena. Ride past the arena and the stones are scattered on the ground near the cliff. Pick up all of them and return to Bjorn.

bjorn

Let’s see…

Hmmm…

These will be perfect! I am going to repair the pool and turn on the water right away. Ride over and take a look, Rita!

Quest completed

Return to Bjorn when you are Friendly with the Winery Master Gardeners

Oi oi oi! Have you seen the fantastic flowers, Rita? They are simply fabulous! I think I might faint…

Thud!

Flowers… That’s right! Fantastic! This is the best day of my life, Rita.

Here, take this as thanks for all your amazing help.

A More Beautiful Sun Garden 

bjorn

Rita, I have a fantastic idea! Listen! Listen!

We are going to put our beautiful vases and plant beautiful bushes in the Sun Garden and it is going to be even more beautiful than anyone ever thought was possible! I can picture it now… It is so terribly beautiful that even your horse is going to cry when you ride through there. Can you picture it, Rita? You see it?

It doesn’t matter… Trust me. I have a vision! Mark out the places where the vases should be with these measuring sticks and put fertilizer at the place in the flower beds where the bushes should go.

Hurry, Rita, hurry!

Objectives: Fertilize for the bushes in the Sun Garden. Put out measuring sticks where the vases should stand.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Fantastic! This is going to be so amazingly good that you are going to faint… So tie a pillow to your helmet so you don’t hurt yourself when you come riding through here and take a peek and fall off.

Garden Expansion

bjorn

Rita! Rita!

Come here for a minute! The garden is even more amazing than I ever would have imagined. It’s really a miracle of never before seen beauty! Not even when the garden was built a long time ago, was it so beautiful here, I’m a billion fantastic percent sure!

But, what I wanted to say is that we must continue our work on restoring the garden, it is our duty! Let’s get started with the next part, the farm house. 

Ride over to the Baroness and tell her that it is time to proceed with the garden project, I will not accept no for an answer from her. It will not do, we must proceed with the garden, must, must, must, right away!!

Ride over to her and come back as fast as you can!

Objectives: Ask the Baroness for permission to continue work on the restoration of the gardens.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 50 with Winery Master Gardeners

Speak to the Baroness about expanding the gardens. She is standing in front of the Manor.

baroness

Bjorn and Agnetha? Yes, of course, it was them that wanted to play around a little in the old gardens down there.

Quest completed

______________

Flower Proof

baroness

Have they really restored the Sun Garden, Rita? And it looks good? A really good job, you say? I’m not really sure I can really believe what you are saying. I thought at most they would clear up the flower beds but it sounds like they have completely restored everything. Can they continue with the work of restoring the gardens, you ask? 

I don’t know, Rita. It is a big responsibility that requires experienced tradesmen. The vineyard has a long history and I won’t have hobby-builders destroying a part of that history with shoddy work.

For them to continue, I will need to see evidence of the quality of their work, Rita. Let’s do this, around here on the estate we have empty white flower pots that you have probably seen. If Bjorn and Agnetha plant some of their flowers in them, I will get a chance to see how they look. If I find that the flowers are of acceptable quality, then they can continue in their project. Ride back to Bjorn and let them know my decision.

Objectives: Ride over to Bjorn and let him know what the Baroness has said.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Winery Master Gardeners

It seems a compromise is in order. Return to the garden and tell Bjorn about the deal with the Baroness.

bjorn

Plant some flowers at the Winery? Doesn’t she trust us? This will take up valuable time, Rita, that we could spend working on the Moon Garden.

Quest completed

______________

Proof for the Baroness

bjorn

If the Baroness needs to see we can do our job, then we will show her, Rita! Here, this is the most beautiful of the fabulous pansies you grew. When she sees them she is going to faint with pride… And when she wakes up, she’ll have to give us her permission to continue working… How could she possibly say no to such perfection? 

Take the pansies and plant them in the pots I have marked around the Winery. Speak with the Baroness when you are done. 

Objectives: Plant the pansies around the Winery.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

The Baroness liked the flowers? Wait… You don’t have to answer that. Of COURSE she like the flowers. She didn’t hurt herself when she fainted from the happiness of seeing them, did she?

No? Strange, but she is pretty old and probably can’t see very well. Now we don’t have time to stand around chatting about this Rita. Now we need to get started!

Speak with my dear wife.

Moon Garden

agnetha

Hello there Rita. There you are riding up to me on your little horse… And you have something to tell me, I guess? We have the approval of the Baroness? That is great news, Rita. Now I can take my chainsaw and dynamite over to the Moon Garden and star cleaning up there.

But wait… Not so fast. You aren’t trying to sneak away from work are you? Nah… Didn’t think so… I can always count on you.

Take these measuring sticks and mark the edges of the Moon Garden so I know where to clear. I’ll gas up my chainsaw so it is ready to go. 

Objectives: Mark the edges of the Moon Garden with the measuring sticks you received from Agnetha.

Next Flower Species

bjorn

Today is a wonderful day to be alive, Rita. The Moon Garden is, after years of being forgotten, back to life again. I feel so lucky to have been a part of this miracle! It is so fantastically beautiful that I don’t know what to do with myself!

Flowers? Of course! How could I forget that? But what kind of flowers should we have now, Rita?

Wait… Don’t say a word. I’m getting a vision…

With Bulbs from Landon

landon

Agnetha? She is completely crazy. Did you know she used to work for me before? She used to think the sheep were too lazy… They would just walk around and graze when they could be working instead. She screamed at the sheep and tried to get them to eat the grass in straight lines so they could be used as grass cutters in Silverglade Village. I had no choice but to fire her… The sheep were so stressed out their wool fell off!

Take the bulbs and ride back to Agnetha and Bjorn… Hurry up so Agnetha doesn’t get angry with me.

The marble is scattered in the grass along the flat area by the river. When you have picked up enough of the marble, return to Bjorn.

bjorn

Thank you, Rita! Now I can start work on repairing the statues. Ride over and look, but try not to faint too many times! I planted some more little bushes while I was at it.

Bush Party

bjorn

I am tired of flowers, Rita. I can no longer stand the sight of them! Flowers are so 2012… So grey and small and incredibly boring! But now I have a new idea, a fantastic idea that is going to revolutionize the whole gardening world!

Bushes!

We are going to plant bushes in long, fine rows in the next part of the garden, “Agnetha’s Grove.” Named by me in her honor! Can you picture it, Rita? Agnetha drinking her coffee in her grove while the people stand in enormous lines to get a turn in our fantastic gardening masterpiece. Believe me Rita, this is going to bring millions of Jorvik Shillings into Jorvik when a million people come to visit Jorvik each year to come see it. Bjorn Jarl! That is what they are going to call me!! They are going to write history books in our honor!

Bushes?

That’s right! We need to plant some bushes! Ride over to my dear friend Felicity in Firgrove and ask her for shoots from her bushes, they will be perfect for our garden.

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

______________

Here Come the Bushes

felicity

Are you sure you know what you are getting into, Rita? Agnetha isn’t right in the head, as you may have noticed? She actually used to work here, but I had no choice but to fire her… When I woke up one morning she had gone around the whole village and woken up all the old pensioners and put them to work weeding the gardens around the fences. When I asked her why, she told me I should stop whining and get a shovel to help. She also said the old raisins shouldn’t be lying around just collecting a pension! I really had no choice but to tell her she couldn’t work here anymore…

But you are pretty sensible Rita, take these shoots and ride back over to her and Bjorn. Maybe she has calmed down a bit recently…

Rita, sometimes you need to choose your path in life. It is important to do what makes you love if you are going to be happy. It is a bit of wisdom that I wanted to share with you.

So, it is now time for me to change paths. I am going to start riding! It looks like such amazing fun every time I see you and Summerblaze riding around here.

The garden? Which garden? Aha… Nah… Forget that Rita. That was ages ago… I’ve moved on. That was an earlier chapter in my life. Now I’m going to move on to something I’ve dreamed of for my whole life… Or at least since this morning… Riding!

I have spoken with Judy at the Equestrian Center, and she has promised to lend me a horse. Would you mind riding over there to get it for me, Rita?

A Horse for Bjorn

judy

It doesn’t sound like the best idea in the world Rita. Bjorn isn’t exactly what we would call… Responsible. But I can think he might be able to borrow old Brunte for a bit. Brunte is the kindest and calmest horse we have and if anything happens he will just make his way back here.

You don’t really need to put a lead on Brunte at all… Just go up to him and show him where he should go. He is standing over there by the stables.

Wow… What a stately trot! His name is Brunte? That must be the most perfect horse name I have ever heard! A trot worthy of a king! Brunte, do you see me in front of you? You and I are going to be winners in all the championships here in Jorvik together, and later in the whole world!

I think Agnetha wanted to talk to you about something Rita. Now I have to go out and win all the races in the whole world! We’ll see you around!

…Now… Let’s see… How do I get up into the saddle? What are these bits of metal going up to Brunte’s mouth? Why do you have bits of metal on your feet…

Rita, while we wait for the roses to bloom, you can help me with something else. I know, everything outside of the roses feels completely unimportant right now, but this is another project that really needs to be done.

We have elevated the beauty of the Winery from the old shell it used to be to almost looking like it belongs close to our gardens. But the Winery needs extra help from us to not be completely overshadowed by our fantastic gardens.

Take these bushes and plant them around the mansion Rita, so that the people working up there don’t begin to weep uncontrollably because they have to work up there instead of here with us.

Agnetha, I remember her. She worked for me as an apprentice…

Do you know her?

What do I think of her?

A fantastic person! A dependable rock of a human being. Like me, she worked day and night and never let anything get in the way of the work. I wanted her to remain here as my apprentice so I could teach her the art of blacksmithing and train her to be the best blacksmith Jorvik has ever seen.

But then that hideous Bjorn had carried her off with his talk of gardens and how together they would be famous gardeners. Agnetha would conquer the world, he said, and Agnetha feel for it all. She gave up everything she had to follow him and help him achieve his dreams.

It really was a terrible shame… She had so much potential… And it was all ruined by a ridiculous dreamer with nothing but air between his ears.

But… Love is like that. It can make the best of us do the worst things.

Now, here is an iron gate like you asked for. Let Agnetha know she is always welcome to come back and apprentice for me any time she likes.

I don’t know how they got there but when I saw them, I felt a darkness in myself. Should these fantastic creations just lie here in the trash when they could be out bringing happiness to people who see them placed out around our gardens?

Then cam a vision, Rita, you understand? You know what we need to do? Can you picture it?

No? 

It doesn’t matter, we need to follow my vision. Bring the statues back from the old race track and I’ll explain my plan a bit better.

Hello Rita. Can you help me with something? Please?

You see, the Baroness wants me to get a bottle of her finest wine from the wine cellar. She is going to serve her finest wine next weekend at her dinner with the Councilman. So I went down in the wine cellar and started to look for the bottle.

Suddenly I heard a horrible noise and the whole ground started to shake! I was so frightened that I just dropped everything and ran out of there. I don’t want to go in there again but the Baroness is going to be angry if I don’t do what I’m told. Can you get the bottle for me?

The wine cellar is at the other end of the winery. There is a door to it in the factory building behind the stores.

Objectives: Go down in the vineyard wine cellar and get the bottle of wine for the Baroness. The wine cellar is at the other end of the winery and there is a door behind the shops.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Village

Ride north from Tyra, past the manor. The door to the cellar is on the east side of the winery building.

Once in the cellar, go down the stairs and turn left into the first door, then go right into the next room, to get the wine.

Watch out for ghosts on the way down!

This Isn’t North Link

ged_trainee

Hello there! Where am I anyways? In a wine cellar? Eh? I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere…

Wait! Don’t go! Let me tell you all about it. This is how it is. Today is my first day as a trainee at G.E.D. by North Link and the first thing they did was show me their new drilling machine. Here is your new job they said, just drive it straight. Then they said good luck and walked off to drink more coffee.

So I figured I’d better do what they tell me to… But it seems like I drove the machine a little crooked. If the boss finds out I’ll get fired right away. I’m so unlucky.

What should I do now? I have no idea. This is so embarrassing. Can you help me get out of this fix I’m in?

Objectives: Speak with the trainee again.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

I know exactly how you feel, dude. Getting poor training and you muff everything up on your first day.

ged_trainee

What do I think I should do? I have no idea…

Quest completed

______________

Which Bottle is the Right One for the Baroness?

ged_trainee

You can’t come up with anything? Please, try and think of something. Please!

A bottle of wine? Yes, there is a bottle on the shelf here beside me of the finest Chateau Silverglade 1955, it has a complex taste with an excellent bouquet and a strong finish. An excellent choice for a formal meal. How do I know? Both my mother and father were sommeliers so I’ve been learning about wine since I could crawl.

You are going to take the wine to the Baroness so that she won’t come down and look around here? Ok, but don’t leave me in the lurch. Co back as soon as you can.

Objectives: Take the bottle from the shelf by the trainee and deliver it to the Baroness.

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Manor

Pick up the bottle behind the trainee and take it back outside to the Baroness.

And in case you were wondering, a sommelier is a wine steward; someone who is knowledgeable about many different wines and their tastes. They often work at high-end restaurants, and probably have more class than your average bartender.

Also, let’s hope he learned that info about wine from his parents, because he looks too young to drink.

baroness

How about that, that is the bottle I was looking for last week. Ah, from 1955. I didn’t know you were a wine expert Rita. But normally the staff is very dependable. But this took strangely long time.

Quest completed

______________

Organization of Years

baroness

You are an orderly girl Rita, how could it take so long?

Of course it is probably my own fault. It has been years since I have been down in the wine cellar… It must be very disorganize down there by now. I think it would be for the best if I went down there and looked into it myself. Rita, let’s go down and take a look right now.

What’s that? There is a wasp nest on the cellar stairs? Would you do me a favor and get rid of it? I’m allergic to bees you know.

Objectives: Go down into the wine cellar again and speak with the trainee.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Go down to ‘get rid of the bees’ and warn the trainee that the Baroness is coming.

Oh no! The Baroness is on her way here? She’s not going to be happy when she sees what I’ve done. What are we going to do?

Quest completed

______________

To Hide a Cellar

ged_trainee

What should we do? I have no idea… Hide the hole in the wall? We can’t do that…

What? Block the door with barrels? I’m not sure I understand but I’ll trust you. Don’t shut me in here. I promise I won’t make a sound. I’ll be quiet as a mouse!

Objectives: Pick up the barrels in the cellar and block the door with them. Then speak with the Baroness again.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Manor

Pick up the barrels, then go outside the room to place them. Once they are all up, go out of the cellar and speak with the Baroness.

baroness

Hello young lady. Is the wasp nest gone now? Excellent. Meet me in the wine cellar as soon as you can.

Quest completed

The Baroness is now down in the cellar in front of the room you just blocked off. Go down in the cellar to speak with her again.

Renovation of the Wine Cellar

baroness

It is overflowing with wine in the cellar! How could we fill up the cellar all the way up to the door? It has been a good couple of years now but I didn’t know it had been this good. We need to expand the cellar!

Can you take care of this development Rita? Great! Can you see to it that the cellar gets renovated? I promise you will be well compensated for your efforts. Were agreed then! Let me know when you are done. It will be so exciting to see the new cellar. Work quickly dear.

See you soon!

______________

A Big Hole to Fill

ged_trainee

I’m not good at this kind of thing… Digging a hole and then filling it back in… But for this I think concrete would do the trick. I know there is tons of it up at North Link.

How are we going to get a few tons of cement here? I have no idea…

But I’m sure you will come up with something… You are as smart as a Nobel Prize winner. Maybe you can find a way to fool the boss up there.

Come back as soon as you can!

Objectives: Ride to North Link and find some concrete. The boss should know something.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Who said we would have to fool him? We’re friends. He owes me a big favor anyway…

Ride up to the North Link construction site and speak with the crew lead there.

Concrete? Listen up, don’t go thinking we just give out concrete to anyone who asks for it. Anyways, we don’t have an concrete right now. The last delivery has gotten lost on its way here.

Lost Concrete

crew_lead

Whew. Can you believe it. The guy who drove the truck sent an SMS saying he was driving around Jorvik and doesn’t know where he is I have no idea where he could be… Can you figure out what his message is supposed to mean?

“Heya! I got lost. North of me is a windmill. To the west is a big castle. I have no idea where I am. I’m super tired right now. Cant drive more now. Stopped on a hill. Come find me. /Lightning”

I don’t really get what he is trying to say… and I have a lot of other things to do. Maybe you can find him and give him directions to here? Great. I’ll SMS him and say you will be coming to find him.

Objectives: Find the lost concrete truck.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

I am aware the clue to the truck is confusing. I have contacted game support to change it but have not heard back from them yet, as of writing this.

The truck is to the west of the castle. It is on the road south of the Winery.

quest-missing_cement_truck

Here is a map of its exact location. It is a big giant yellow dump truck, and hard to miss as long as you are on the correct road.

What’s up? Is it you who is going to show me the way to the building site? I have tons of cement I need to get rid of. Where should I take it? I don’t really know. The directions I got are worthless.

______________

New Instructions for the Driver

truck_driver

So you have directions to the build site? To the farm up there? To a factory by the farm? That is very close to here. Excellent!

Ok. I’ll drive there and unload the concrete in the cellar. No problem.

Great, we’ll see you at the Winery then!

Objectives: Ride and meet the driver with the cement delivery by the factory at the Winery.

Hello there! I took a bit of a roundabout way here but it got me here before you anyways. They don’t call me Lightning for nothing! Ok, so we are all set to unload the concrete now. This is going to take a while so you might as well come back tomorrow. You can trust old Lightning. 

Cheers! We’ll see you tomorrow.

These quests cover several days, but I am putting them all together on one post.

Day 15

Jame’s Treasure Hunt

james

Heya Rita! I was surfing J-Bay the other day and made a great deal. A real treasure map! Well… at least one out of the four pieces of one. If I could only get a hold of the other three parts then I could find the treasure. I’m sure it is amazing! There were two parts up for sale but I only managed to buy one of them. Someone called “Butler_o1” bought the other one… the only thing I know about him is that he also lives on Jorvik.

If you help me find the other parts of the map I’ll split the treasure with you. What do you say? If you are up for it you should start with figuring out who “Butler_01” is and try to get his part of the map.

Objectives: Find the person who calls themself “Butler_01” on the internet. They live somewhere on Jorvik. The name must be a clue as to who they really are.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with…

The only butler we know is Godfrey. Let’s go talk to him about this.

godfrey

Uh, “Butler_01”? Yes, that is me. How did you know?

Quest completed

______________

A Digital Library

godfrey

I see Rita, you can absolutely have part of the map but then I want my share of the treasure. We have plans to scan in all the books in the library to make them available for everyone in the world to enjoy. Unfortunately we haven’t had the money to get it done… so this treasure would really give us exactly what we need.

Take my piece of the map and ride over to James. Let him know that I want to share of the treasure as part of the deal.

Objectives: Ride back to James and tell him what the Butler said.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Take the map back to James in Fort Pinta

james

Oh come on Rita… did you promise to give away a share of the treasure to the butler? Don’t you know how to negotiate? This is how it is done. You made the deal with the butler so you can split your share with him!

Quest completed

James is getting a little greedy now. These quests really make me not like him….

The Other Part of the Map

james

I’ve been surfing on Jorvikipedia while you were gone Rita. The map belonged to the famous American treasure hunter Mississippi Jones. He died a long time ago, but he was an adventurer who came to Jorvik a generation ago. His heirs couldn’t decide on how to split the treasure so they tore the map in four pieces and kept one piece each. I was lucky to find a lead on his daughter, California Jones. Her grave is somewhere nearby, but I’m not sure exactly where… it only says she was buried with a view of Fort Pinta… the town she loved so much.

Objectives: Find the grave of California Jones. It should be somewhere with a great view of Fort Pinta.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Fort Pinta

The only graveyard close to Fort Pinta is in Doyle’s Abbey, though it isn’t much of a view for all the bushes.

The grave is in the northeastern corner of the Abbey.

“This must be the grave of California Jones…”

Quest complete

______________

Where Did the Bouquet of Flowers Come From?

self

“A bouquet of dandelions. Don’t I know someone who likes dandelions? Maybe that person can help me find the next piece of the map. I guess I should bring the bouquet of dandelions.”

Objectives: Someone has placed a bouquet of dandelions on the grave, find the person who put it there.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 35 with…

Mrs Holdsworth is the master of dandelions and fixing sick cows. Go speak with her in Moorland.

mrs_holdsworth

Heya Rita! Those are some nice dandelions! Yes, California Jones was my grandmother. She loved dandelions so I put a bouquet of them on her grave every year. An old part of a map? I think I might have it in a box somewhere.

Quest completed

______________

Think of the Poor Little Foals

mrs_holdsworth

Sure, you can have my part of the map. But of course you need to share the treasure you find with me. My share will be given to the Jorvik Home for Orphan Foals. All those poor little foals with no mothers… sniff…

Here is my part of the map. Make sure James knows about the deal!

Objectives: Ride back to James and tell him what Mrs Holdsworth said.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 15 with Fort Pinta

Tell James about the deal and the next piece of the map, though he won’t be happy about it.

james

What are you thinking Rita? Now Mrs Holdsworth is in on the treasure too? That is also coming out of your share! If you keep doing this there won’t be anything left for you at all!

Quest completed

Return to James tomorrow.

Day 16

A Final Piece of the Map

james

I’ve been doing a bit more research on Jorvikipedia and trying to find out more about the last piece of the map. I’m pretty sure it is in Silverglade Village. Mississippi’s son Washington left everything he had to the people of Jorvik. All his possessions were taken care of by the council in Silverglade.

Objectives: Speak with the Councilman in Silverglade Village and ask about the will of Washington Jones.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

The Councilman is near town hall in the center of town. Speak to him about the last part of the map.

council_man

Ah yes… Washington Jones left everything he had to us. An old piece of a map? That must be stored in the archives.

Quest completed

______________

Archived Inheritance

council_man

The archives aren’t in Silverglade Village anymore. Which ironically is mostly because of Washington Jones. He was an avid collector of just about everything. When we went to archive his collection it filled up the entire basement of the city hall. It really wasn’t practical in the long run so everything was moved to Firgrove. Ride over there and ask my colleague there, I’m sure he will know all about it.

Objectives: Speak with the Councilman in Firgrove about the collection of Washington Jones.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Firgrove

Ride to Firgrove, and speak with Mr Franklin. He can be found at the town hall across from the stables.

mr_franklin

Good day Rita. Washington Jones collection? Yes it was stored here. But it isn’t here anymore.

Quest completed

______________

Deep in the Archives

mr_franklin

Washington Jones collection was so big we were forced to hire out a place in an old mine around here. There was a lot of unused space in that old mine. It is shut down now and there was a big spring so unfortunately I’m not sure what has happened to the collection. If you are lucky the old piece of the map might still be there. You should ride over there and have a look. Good luck!

Objectives: Find the piece of the map by the old mine outside Firgrove and ride back to the Councilman in Firgrove.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 20 with Firgrove

Funny how no one is really concerned precious artifacts could possibly have been destroyed in the flood.

The mine is highlighted in orange on your map, so it should be easy to find. It is down behind the sandpit, and can be seen from the road. Go to the mine and look for a bunch of wooden boxes laying on the ground. Search all of them, then return to Mr Franklin.

mr_franklin

Look at that. There we have the old piece of the map.

Quest completed

______________

Take the Last Piece of the Map to Fort Pinta

mr_franklin

That piece of the map belongs to all the people of Jorvik so I can’t just give it to you. If you want this piece then you will have to share the treasure with the people of Jorvik. We need every shilling we can get to build new roads and new stalls.

Objectives: Ride back to James and tell him what has happened.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 30 with Fort Pinta

Speak with James in Fort Pinta. Mr Greedypants surely won’t be happy though.

james

Bah… not again! That is coming out of your share again Rita. You’ll never be a good businessman…

Quest completed

Return to James tomorrow.

Day 17

A Whole Map

james

Now I’ve put together the map but I still don’t understand it… Here is the map Rita, you can give finding the treasure a try. I need to take care of my customers that are here and want to spend money in Fort Pinta. I don’t have more time for looking for treasure now. Come back when you have found the treasure.

Day 18

The First Stone

elizabeth_sunbeam

Now I’ve been to look at the runestone you asked me about. Fascinating really Rita. The runes tell the story of an ancient ritual that will open the mountain… whatever that means. Mississippi Jones must have figured out the ritual and hidden his treasure there. The good news is we druids learn that ritual in pre-school so I know exactly how to open it.

To open the mountain you’ll need to collect four different stones. They will be used in the ritual later. But first we need to find the stones. The first stone is red volcanic rock and you’ll find it in the mountain at the end of Everwind Fields. You need to find a way deep into the mountain to get that stone. I’m not sure how but I am sure you will figure out a way to do it. Maybe you can ask someone there to help you?

Objectives: Ride to the north part of Everwind Fields, once you are there try to find a way in to the heart of the mountain to get some red volcanic rock. Maybe you can ask someone there to help you.

To get to the rocks, go out of the construction site, and go past the hill that Mr Bucket was standing on, where one tower of the gondola lift is anchored. Go around the other side of this hill and head back in the direction of the construction site. The red rocks are on the ground. Take one of them and return to Elizabeth in Valedale.

elizabeth_sunbeam

Good Rita, that volcanic rock will be perfect.

______________

Earth Stone

elizabeth_sunbeam

The next rock you need to find is a kind of Earth Stone. You can usually find this kind of stone in freshly dug ground. Around the Winery there should be lots of them… it shouldn’t be hard to get one. Speak with someone at the winery.

Objectives: Ride over and speak with someone at the winery about where you can find an earth stone.

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

They are scattered through most of the outer fields of the winery. The easiest one to get to is in the back of the winery. Cross the little bridge, and they are in the lower tier field. It is the same field that you check the soil instruments for Carney.

Return to Elizabeth when you have found one.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

I’m sure they can be found in other places along the beach, but the one I found was on the little bit of beach where the land juts into the river, south of the southern most bridge, on the Firgrove side of the river.

Return to Elizabeth when you have found one.

Star Stone

elizabeth_sunbeam

Star Stones can be found high up in the mountains around here. It is hard to ride up there… but wait! I have an idea! Look around the rocky outcrops by the road on the way to Valedale lake. When they were building the road I’m sure they knocked down some Star Stones and they should still be there.

Objectives: Look along the road to Valedale lake for a Star Stone.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Take the Valedale Lake road, and after the last switchback, just before you get to the top, there’s grass of to the left of the road, that you can ride on. You have to go through some bushes (take it slow so you don’t fall off the cliff, oops!) and there are some Star Stones on the ground there.

Return to Elizabeth when you have found one.

Runestone Secret

Now that you have all the different stones it is time to solve the riddle of the Runestone. I’m sure you understand by now that this is a puzzle. I’ not going to explain how it is done… look at this as a test. Instead I’m going to tell you the meaning of the runes and see if you can figure it out for yourself.

So, now you will be able to read what is written on the runestones. Ride over there now and good luck!

You get the ugly statue and hat and I’ll take the silver coins. That seems more than fair, you get two things and I only get one.

Have a great day! See you later.

Share the Treasure

Are you still here? I’ve got a bunch of important things to do right now… but maybe you should ride over to the councilman in Firgrove and share your share of the treasure with him… as we agreed before. Here, take a silver coin as a souvenir. You don’t need to thank me.

See you!

mr_franklin

So you found the treasure? Fantastic! What’s that? James took all the silver coins? Let’s see the coin you have. Hmmm… hehe. That is a ten-pence, worth about half a shilling. I doubt that James has even earned back what he paid for his piece of the map on those. But you got an amazing adventure, am I right?

Wait a minute… that statue… let me have a closer look at it.Wow! You know what you have found?!

An ancient statue made by the old horse tribes here on Jorvik. This is a priceless cultural artifact! This belongs to all the people of Jorvik so it needs to be displayed so everyone can see it. As an archaeological find I need to take this from you right now… but you should get your reward for finding it. I will see that the Butler and Mrs Holdsworth get their share of the reward but you definitely deserve your share. You have done Jorvik a great service Rita. Thank you! You should keep that fantastic hat. It looks great on you, I have to say.

What do you think about letting them live behind the barn? In the corner of the old wall where the race starts. Then we won’t have to walk very far when it’s time to give them cabbage.

A Bathtub for the Chipmunks

What? You think we should give them a bathtub? Aha, the vet said that they like to take baths because they get so dirty when they dig. Yes, that sounds fair. Barney at the silo has some old water troughs and I’m sure he’ll give one to us.

The Journey to Valedale

alex

Ok, so this is all very interesting. What do we have? We know that Linda is locked in the castle, probably by Godfrey, ordered by the Baroness.We also know that the Baroness is extremely secretive about her former husband, John Sandman, whom she claims to be dead. This John Sandman should thus be the grandfather of Justin, and the man Justin and Sabine have gone to see. The police? Well, not yet I think, but maybe soon.

Listen, there’s someone I need you to talk to who will be able to help us. Her name is Elizabeth Sunbeam and she’s my supervisor. You’ll find her in Valedale, ever been there? Northeast of Silverglade Village you’ll find the Mill Hill Road, which later becomes the Valedale Way. Follow that up north.

Objectives: Travel to Valedale and speak to Elizabeth Sunbeam. The Mill Hill Road will take you there.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 80 with Keepers of Aideen

Elizabeth lives in a cute little cottage just north of the stable, in Valedale.

Rita, I’ve been waiting for you! How I knew you were coming? Oh, nothing mysterious about that; Alex sent me a text message. So, tell me what’s going on.

Quest completed

______________

Listen to Elizabeth

elizabeth_sunbeam

Right, I see. The Baroness seems highly involved n this, indeed, or else she would have let Linda out when you girls demanded it. At the same time there is something she is trying to hide about her past. My strong belief is that both these matters are deeply entwined. The Silverglades were a powerful family who reigned over practically all of Jorvik and to this day their members have influential positions in Jorvik Council. Silverglades are used to getting what they want. You have come upon an affair much more complicated than you ever imagined. Are you willing to continue helping us in this, Rita?

Objectives: Answer Elizabeth’s question.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 55 with Keepers of Aideen

It’s a little late to turn back now, isn’t it?

elizabeth_sunbeam

Good, we will need you. What bothers me the most is Sabine’s involvement in all this. Why that is I cannot yet tell you. What is it they want with Justin? The only way of answering that is to find out who this Mr Sandman is; he who supposedly is Justin’s grandfather.

Elizabeth’s Test

elizabeth_sunbeam

Before you continue to Firgrove to do further research, I would like you to do something for me. It may seem strange to you now, but there is a reason to why I’m asking you to do this. You will need this… stick. Have you seen the rune stones that stand here at the hill behind the house? What you need to do is give each of these stones a minute of reflection; stand in front of it holding this artifact and watch the pattern intently. When you have done this to all of the rune stones, return to me and let me know if you felt anything… unusual.

Objectives: Take the stick, stand in front of the rune stones and concentrate on their patterns. There are four rune stones.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 90 XP, Nice Helmet

Reputation: 210 with Keepers of Aideen

Trust me, there’s a method to my madness…

The rune stones are in the first flat at the top of the hill, north of Elizabeth’s house.

When you worked all four stones, return to Elizabeth.

elizabeth_sunbeam

So, tell me what happened. They all started to glow? That’s… that’s very remarkable, Rita. It’s the first time anybody… I mean… Thank you for your participation. Will you do me a favor and please keep this to yourself? Well, you can tell Alex too, if you must, she is a member of our society – The Keepers of Aideen. That’s all you need to know for now.

Welcome to Firgove

elizabeth_sunbeam

According to the registration books John Sandman grew up in Firgrove. You should ride over there and talk to the villagers; perhaps they can give you a clue on who this man really is.

The pass can be found by standing at the starting line of the Valedale Lake race, and going down the trail as if you were running the race. Immediately after the first bridge, as you make the turn, instead of following the race trail, there’s a trail to the right that goes up into the mountains. That is the start of the Firgrove mountain pass. You can follow the trail all the way to Firgrove.

Once you’re in Firgrove, speak with the stable girl, Felicity.

felicity

Hi! Welcome to Firgrove! We just got our cross-country riding track rebuilt and we’re all super excited. Hey, what if you tried it out? As an experienced rider you could probably give us some tips on what you think about it?What a great idea! There are also a lot of regular stable chores to do here, but I can see you’ve got other things to get to.

If you want to try the track out, just talk to Minka. She’s standing at the starting line by the sandpit where Andy has his sheep.

Talk with the Elders

felicity

What? If there’s anyone you can talk to who has lived here for long? Well, you’ve come to the right place; Firgrove is full of old men and women that grew up here. Most of them are really nice, and they LOVE discussing the past. It can be rather annoying sometimes… But hey, that’s only my opinion!

Objectives: Ask the elders if they know of a man named John Sandman.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 60 XP

Reputation: 100 with Firgrove

The elders are all little clones of Mrs Packard and they are standing outside their homes around Firgroves. You’ll find the real Mrs Packard has some information for you.

mrs_packard

Dear girl, I’m so happy to meet you. What is your name? Rita. What a lovely name, dear. John Sandman, you say? It does ring a bell, actually. John Sandman… My memory may not be as good as it was, but I think that John Sandman was the man I paid my rent to when I first took over this house fifty years ago. And God knows, but I wonder if I’m not paying the rent to him still.

The Big Picture

mrs_packard

I will try to find a rent invoice for you to look at. In fact, until then you could head over to Firgrove Town Hall and ask Mr Franklin to see the picture of the village council from 1959. Now that I think about it, Mr Sandman may have been a member of the council back then.

Objectives: Ask Mr Franklin at Firgrove Town Hall if you can see the picture of the village council.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 55 with Firgrove

The town hall is located in the center of town, and Mr Franklin stands right out front of it.

mr_franklin

Ha, what are the odds! There was just a strange girl here, asking that same question about John Sandman. And what’s more, when I showed her the picture she produced a pocket knife and CUT HIM OUT of the photograph! I can’t believe you youngsters. Just because you can do something with a computer does not mean you can do the same in the real world without consequences. This isn’t ones and zeros, for God’s sake – it’s fifty year old, high-quality photo paper!

If her name was Sabine? I don’t know, she didn’t tell and she was wearing a dark cloak that hid her face. She took off on the blackest horse I’ve ever seen.

Quest completed

______________

Get the Picture?

mr_franklin

Yes- she had a big, black horse and a red and black cloak. But look, she’s still over there by the gate! HEY, COME BACK HERE, YOU HOOLIGAN!

Go get the picture back for me, will you?

Objectives: Catch Sabine and take the stolen picture from her.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 55 with Firgrove

Chase after Sabine like you did the first time to get the picture back.

And was that a dinosaur screech at the beginning of the cut scene?

mr_franklin

You got it back! It seems that your generation isn’t in complete decline, after all. Good work. I hope I’ll be able to restore the picture. Do you want a copy of this? I’ll make one for you.

Quest complete

______________

Collecting the Clues

mr_franklin

Here is a copy of the photograph. Mrs Packard called when you were out – apparently you have some sort of invoice to pick up in the village. Good luck with whatever your adventures may be!

Objectives: Pick up the rental invoice at Mrs Packard’s.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP, Nice Riding Pants

Reputation: 55 with Firgrove

Ride back over to Mrs Packard to get the rental invoice.

Reporting to Elizabeth

Good luck with your research dear. Oh, you’re off to see Elizabeth? Do tell her I said hi. She’s such a lovely girl, Elizabeth; she’s always welcome here in Firgrove.

Welcome back Rita. What have you found? A photo of Mr Sandman, I see. And this? This may be the number of his post office box? Good detective work!

Quest completed

______________

Only Alex Can Tell

elizabeth_sunbeam

Wait  minute, this looks like… There’s a man known as Mr Sands who looks frighteningly like the person in this picture. Mr Sands is the leader of Dark Core – an organization with an even darker agenda than that of Global Energy Domination.

Have you shown this to Alex? She would be really interested in seeing this photo – She has fought against Mr Sands before, you see, and has a deep hatred for him. Sh will be able to tell whether or not the man in this photo and Mr Sands are the same person.

Objectives: Show Alex the photo and ask her if she recognizes Mr Sands.

Ride back to Alex at the Manor and show her what you have found.

alex

What have you found? A picture of John Sandman? Let me see it…

Oh, God. That’s him. Mr Sands. How could I not have realized this before? I guess it just didn’t occur to me that things could be this severe. Or maybe I was just being naive… So this means that Mr Sands is Justin’s grandfather and that Justin could be in danger as we speak!

Quest completed

The Letter Trap

alex

You have an idea? Good, tell me about it! Ok, so you got the address to this post office box… It belongs to Mr Sands? Really? That’s a great lead! So what’s the idea? A letter? That sounds very interesting…

Ok, so let me see if I got this straight. You’re suggesting that we send a fake letter to Mr Sands’s post office box just to make him come there and get it? Right? That’s a fantastic idea, Rita. In that way you can watch the office from a distance and when he comes, make sure that he’s actually alive and active in Jorvik. Awesome plan, really.

Wait, I actually think I have an empty envelope on me… Here it is. And viola: a pencil! The only thing I don’t have is a stamp. You could ask Judy in the stable, I bet she keeps  stack of them somewhere.

Objectives: Ask Judy the stable girl for a postage stamp.

While you’re waiting for the post, Sophie, in Valedale wants to start a new track, and needs your help.

A New Competition in Hollow Woods

sophie

Hello Rita! I haven’t had that much to do recently so I went to see my friend Minka in Firgrove. What an amazing race trail they had there! I thought that I should try and make something similar back home in Valedale, so now there is a race here too!

I think the race trail looks great but there are a couple last things to do before we can have you test it out.

First of all, there are a couple rare flowers growing right in the middle of the track. We need you to pick them up, roots and all, so we can plant them back here where they will be safe. It would be horrible if they got trampled when the track starts getting used.

Objectives: Gently pick the rare flowers that are out on the racing trail, with the roots and everything. Plant them again behind Sophie.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Valedale

The quest requires eight actions; four retrieving the plants, and four transplanting them.

The flowers are to be put in around the lightpost near Sophie.

sophie

Those look beautiful Rita! Now they are safe and I have something nice to look at too! Thank you!

Junk in the Woods

sophie

There is one more thing we need to take care of before we try the track. It is important that it looks nice around the track, but I saw some litter around the track just yesterday. It is so sad when people don’t pick up after themselves. Ride out there and bring it to me. I’ll put it where it should go when I get back to the barn in Valedale.

Objectives: There is some litter out on the track. Please ride out and pick it up so it can be properly disposed of.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Pick up the trash, as highlighted on your minimap, and return to Sophie when you are finished.

There we go! Well done Rita! Are you ready to test out the new riding trail? It is going to be great, I just know it. Good luck!

Objectives: Ride the new trail to the finish.

You can now ride the Valedale track as a daily race.

There is one more forest creature that needs your help. He (she?) can be found perched on a rock in Hollow Woods, near where Sonja is riding around.

Let’s see what those soil samples turned up!

Analysis Completed

judy

I got a message from the veterinarian saying that the test results of the soil and grape sprouts are ready. Please ride over to the village and fetch them? I don’t dare to think of what they will tell us… And how the Baroness will react to that. Oh well, let’s not be overly pessimistic. Off you go!

Objectives: Fetch the tests from the veterinary in Silverglade Village

Rewards: 12 Jorvik Shillings, 65 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Manor

Ride to Silverglade Manor. The vet is just north of the Council Man.

vet

Hi there, are you the girl from the Manor? Good, I’ve got your test results. I’m afraid we’re looking at some badly contaminated grapevines here. I’m sorry to say it, but this does not look good at all. Wine from these grapes would probably taste like it had dish water in it. And the soil is poisoned by petroleum, as well.

Quest completed

______________

Return with the Results

vet

You had better let the others know this as soon as possible. Return to Judy right away. Be careful however; G.E.D. control these kinds of activities and probably know that these tests were done. Impossible, you say? Not to the G.E.D. Nothing is impossible when you have access to that kind of money. I wouldn’t be surprised if they knew our names and where we live as well.

Understand? Here are the test results. Watch out for the G.E.D. men on your way back to Judy!

Objectives: Ride with the test results carefully back to the Silverglade Equestrian Center. Don’t let the G.E.D. see you!

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP, Decent Shirt

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Manor

Take the test results back to the Manor.

Hi! Did someone see you? From G.E.D. I mean? No? Good.

______________

Bring Me Some Oil

judy

Oh no, things were just as bad as I suspected. Oh no! How are we going to tell this to the Baroness? She will completely freak out! I guess we’ll have to deal with that later. Right now we should do some more research. Your next mission will be to ride over to the oil field, fill this can up with some of G.E.D.’s oil, and return here so that we can do a comparison to that and the oil found on our test samples.

The oil field is north from here, just before the race track. Please remember to watch out for the G.E.D. men, I couldn’t bear to lose you!

Objectives: Collect some oil from the oil field and bring it back to Judy. Don’t let the G.E.D. men see you.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 110 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Manor

Now this time you really can’t let them see you! This quest works similar to the one in which you turned off the GPS devices. The G.E.D. men are walking around the oil field, and as long as you don’t act while one is standing directly in front of you, you won’t be caught. If you are caught, you will have to start the task again.

judy

Ok, this should be enough. Great work Rita. You seem like a person that could handle just about anything!

Quest completed

______________

Comparing the Samples

judy

Ok, so we’ve got this very interesting machine here in the stable that Carney got from a scientist in Holland, or something. I don’t really remember the story behind it, but what’s interesting about it is that you can do some simple analyses on it. In our case, it will be on the oil.

What I need you to do is use the machine to compare the oil on the grape sprout with that from the oil field. Get it?

Objectives: Use the machine to compare the two oil samples.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Manor

The machine is on the table next to Carney. Use it to test the samples and speak to Carney when you’re finished.

This old thing still works like a charm! Let’s see… It looks like we have the same oil in both samples. Not very surprising, do you think?

Oily News for the Old Lady

carney

Well, someone will have to tell the old grand lady what’s happening. You’d make a rather good messenger, don’t you think, Rita? Other things to do? Nonsense! Nothing can be more important than informing the Baroness of the destruction that G.E.D. is carrying out on her land.

Off you go! Ride over to the winery to tell her.

Objectives: Ride over to the winery and tell the baroness about the oil.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 110 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Manor

Now would be a good time to bring out that ‘Don’t shoot the messenger’ t-shirt you’ve never worn…

baroness

You again? What now, dear? I really don’t have time to chat… What? The G.E.D.’s oil has contaminated my soil and grapevines? That’s what you came here to say! What’s the news? Please don’t come here to inform me of matters one can figure out with one’s little toe.

Quest completed

______________

Ready for Mission

baroness

I… I… Never mind. Excuse that little tantrum of mine. You could actually be of help, Rita. I have a little… experiment that I would like to try. You see, from a trustworthy informant of mine that will remain anonymous, I heard that the G.E.D. may have acquired their equipment in an inappropriate manner. And this is the drilling equipment I’m talking about.

What you could do for me is going over to the field and searching their machines for serial numbers. Copy the numbers and bring them back to me. You should take someone with you; there’s a nice girl called Sonja that would make a good companion. Have you met her? You’ll find her out at the winery fields, inspecting grapes.

Objectives: Find Sonja at the Silverglade Equestrian winery fields and ask her to accompany you to the oil field.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Manor

Sonja can be found down in the lower terrace of the grape fields, on a white horse like Loretta’s

sonja

Yes, I’m Sonja, why? The baroness asked me to accompany you? Of course I’ll go! Inspecting grapes is very boring so I’d be happy to do anything else.

A Serial Collector

sonja

Let’s do it like this: you go copy the serial numbers while I stay here keeping guard. Ok? That’ll work, right? Just keep away from those scary looking men and you’ll be fine. Probably.

Objectives: Hold the paper against 4 serial numbers and transfer them onto the notepad. Avoid being seen by the G.E.D.

baroness

Hello there, dear! Did you find Sonja? Good. And my serial numbers? Oh, I’m impressed! Very good work. Maybe I’ll use you for other missions in the future. You see, what you did now may come in handy in our long-drawn fight against G.E.D. Thank you very much, Rita. You did some honorable work today.

Post the Letter with Serial Numbers

baroness

Just one more thing, dear. Take this letter with the serials and put it on the postbox that is located just at the entrance to the manor gate. This is addressed to my son Aaron that works in Jorvik City at the Jorvik Council. He will find out if there is anything fishy going on regarding these oil rigs. I have  feeling that Mr Kembell didn’t buy them in an honest deal.

Objectives: Post a letter. The post box is at Silverglade manor gate.

“That horse looks familiar; haven’t you seen it somewhere else lately? It looks very distinctive with that glistening black coat, and the way its eyes stare right through you… You get a chill down your spine.

Wait! That mysterious gleam… It’s the same mysterious gleam that struck you when that disguised ride came by Moorland and stole Thomas’ ownership deed! You need to ask someone who owns that horse.”

Objectives: Ask Tyra who owns that black horse.

Tyra is standing to the west of the stable.

tyra

What? Khaan? His owner is a girl called Sabine, she’s standing over there. She’s rather new here. I think she came about  week ago; I remember that Linda showed her around. That must have been Linda’s last day here, by the way. I wonder what happened to Linda… Haven’t seen her since…

Talking to Sabine

tyra

If she was out riding last night? At Moorland? I have no idea, ask her yourself. Doesn’t it seem a bit odd though, to be out riding in the middle of the night…?

Sabine is up stalking around in front of the manor stables.

sabine

Um… What? I certainly haven’t been out riding in the middle of the night. Who are you, by the way, to come here with your stupid inquisitions? Excuse me? What are you implying here, exactly? That I was at Moorland? What would I be doing in that pathetic hellhole, when there’s a perfectly functional riding track here? You know what, you need to learn how to behave around other people, that’s for sure. You act like you’re five years old, for God’s sake. Please. Spare me that obnoxious baby talk.

Great track, right? I’m quite proud of it, actually. I mean… not that it’s mine or anything, but you know… being able to use it and all. I’ve been to some of the other tracks in the area and they just can’t compete with one. I don’t want to sound like a snob or anything, I’m just… thankful, or something.

Reversed Attitude

Well, that was… great! Hey, I thought about the talk we had before… We didn’t get a very good start, did we? I guess I was feeling a little insecure or whatever; I’m new here, you know. Would it be too much to ask if you could do me a small favor? Why don’t we start over, and get to know each other? Yeah? So what’s your name? Rita. Hi, Rita, I’m Sabine. Friends?

Sabine’s Request

sabine

Ok, so I’ve got this letter. For Justin, from a sort of… unknown relative. He needs to get it but as you know, I’m not at all familiar with the land outside the manor; I’m sure I couldn’t find my way back here if I got lost! You’re at home in Moorland, aren’t you? What, ride there together? Ha ha – I can’t be seen over there! Um… I mean, I can’t be seen there because of my… status. I have to keep to the… classier areas, you see? I’m sure you understand.

Please go to Moorland and give this letter to Justin!

Ride to Moorland whichever way you see fit, and deliver the letter.

justin_mooland

Hello there, long time no see! A letter for me? Seriously? From who?

So, you’re doing well at the Manor? That’s nice. Don’t feel any pressure returning here until they can manage without you – according to what I’ve heard they’re pretty desperate for help since that girl Linda disappeared.

Return to Sender

Sabine is the one who gave you the letter, you say? I don’t like that at all. Why of course I know who she is – and I know what I think and always thought of her – she’s a sneaky, insidious snake of a girl, that’s what she is. Been harassing my family for far too long now.

You were saying? Well… That’s an interesting point. You’re actually saying that you think Sabine was the cloaked rider who stole my ownership documents? I haven’t thought of that myself; always figured it was someone from the G.E.D. That makes sense, however; that girl sure has some sort of hidden agenda involving my family.

Listen, you should ride over to the manor and try to figure out more about this. We’ll need anything we can get on this girl.

Hold on – Justin, you say? I’m sorry, what? He went to see my… his… Is this a joke, dear? Because if it is, it’s not funny.

Objectives: Ask the Baroness about Sabine.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 125 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Manor

Tell the Baroness that you, indeed, are not joking.

baroness

Well, excuse me, I… I think I need a hot bath. Immediately. GODFREY!

Quest completed

Looks like the Baroness doesn’t want to talk. In the meantime Judy needs some help over at the stable.

Horses on the Run

judy

The horses escaped the stable! They are out on the fields at front of the main building and eating… grapes! Just locate them, pat them and they will follow you back to the stable. Ride close to them, otherwise they will stop and try to escape again.

Objectives: Look around and locate the three horses. Just pat them, and they will follow you back to the stable if you stick close.

Rewards: 45 Jorvik Shillings, 300 XP

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Manor

The horses aren’t hard to find. Bring them back.

judy

You found them all and took them back to the stable? Well done, Rita!

Quest completed

I think the bath has helped the Baroness decide what she wants to say to you.

A New Girl at the Stable

baroness

Rita, wait. There’s a new girl here somewhere, she has also been asking me about this Sabine. Get in touch with her; you two will be best friends in a whiff, I’m sure of that.

Objectives: Go speak to the new girl at the Silverglade Equestrian Center, Alex.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 45 with Keepers of Aideen

Alex can be found mounted on a horse in front of the stable.

alex

Hi, nice to meet you, Rita! I’m Alex. Yes? I’m so glad you’re saying that. I’ve been trying to stop Sabine from doing harm to the people of Jorvik for some time now, and it’s hard. Actually, right now I’m trying to find a girl that used to work here but suddenly disappeared, Linda is her name. I wouldn’t be surprised if Sabine had something to do with it.

Quest completed

______________

Tracking Missing Girls

alex

What? You delivered a letter from Sabine to Justin? Uh-oh. That’s not good. And now they’re both gone…

Wait. Have you ever seen Sabine’s horse, Khaan? He looks really different from other horses; he almost has  faint glow around him. His hoof prints look special too… Like he touched the ground with his hooves burning. If we can find such hoof prints around here, maybe we will be able to track Sabine! Start looking around the stable.

Objectives: Find Khaan’s glowing hoof prints.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 45 with Keepers of Aideen

Most of the prints can be found behind the stable to the east side. When you’ve found the trail, return to Alex.

alex

Good work, Rita! Regarding of the direction of the tracks you think it seems as if Sabine had gone towards Moorland? You may be right… Probably to meet Justin somewhere. Don’t you think?

Quest completed

______________

Hooves on Fire

alex

Let’s follow the hoof prints together! They should be easier to see now when we both know what they look like. Let’s go!

Objectives: Follow Khaan’s hoof prints to locate Sabine.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 70 XP

Reputation: 45 with Keepers of Aideen

It’s not technically a race, so you can keep pace with Alex, or follow her, or run as fast as you can. It’s up to you!

quest-adios

alex

There they are! They’re leaving the island. Oh no! This can’t be happening. This is a catastrophe… What? No, it’s just… Those containers… Sabine is taking Justin to… You know, I’m sorry, but I really can’t say more right now.

Quest completed

______________

A Message of Doom

alex

Listen, you should go tell Thomas about this. He’s Justin’s father and needs to know. I’ll see you again at the manor, ok?

Objectives: Tell Thomas what his son is doing.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 60 XP

Reputation: 55 with Moorland Stable

Go break the bad news to Thomas, as much as we all hate to be the harbingers of the unfortunate.

thomas_moorland

Rita, what’s the matter? You saw Justin? Well, did you stop him?! They left on a CONTAINER? Well that’s not a nice way to travel. Oh, God, please tell me this isn’t happening. My son has been taken away! My son has been seized by the dark side!

Quest completed

______________

Rendezvous at Silverglade Manor

thomas_moorland

Thank you for the information, Rita. From now on you should put all your energy on helping Alex in her search. We need to somehow get Justin back to Moorland. You’re meeting her at the manor now? Marvelous.

Objectives: Meet up with Alex at the Silverglade Manor.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 60 XP

Reputation: 45 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride back to Alex at the stable.

alex

You told him? How did he take it? Poor Thomas.

Ok, so I spoke to the Baroness while you were in Moorland and got hold of a piece of highly interesting information. The Baroness told me that Justin is her GRANDSON. That means that Thomas Moorland is her son. Who Thomas’s father is? Good question. That I couldn’t get out of her. She went on about how that didn’t matter because he’s “long since dead”.

Quest completed

______________

Who’s Your Father?

alex

You’re right, Rita, that doesn’t make any sense. Justin claimed that he was going away to see his grandfather. As long as he isn’t going to a grave, somebody is lying, here.

Listen; there should be records of the Baroness’s past husbands at the town hall. It’s full of old registration books, right? Why don’t you ride over there and check for names?

Objectives: Head to the town hall in Silverglade Village and check the registration books for names.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 25 with Keepers of Aideen

Talk to the Council Man in Silverglade Village

council_man

Hello again, what can I do for you this time? Of course, the registration books are open to the public, what exactly are you looking for? Oh, the Silverglade family? Now that could be a bit problematic… You see, there was a mysterious fire in the archives some time ago in which the Silverglade family records were the only ones to be destroyed. It’s certainly peculiar – I agree with you, miss. Strange indeed.

Quest completed

______________

Searching the Abandoned Summer House

council_man

However, all hope may not be lost. An old mayor kept copies of all the records in his summer house. It’s abandoned now and has been for decades – probably infested by kids with graffiti cans, I don’t know. Anyhow it should be pretty badly run-down. You could of course go there and see what you can find – perhaps you’ll get lucky.

The house is located in Hollow Woods’ southwestern outskirts.

Objectives: Find the old summer house in Hollow Woods. Search it for copies of records on the Silverglade family line.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 110 XP

Reputation: 25 with Keepers of Aideen

The summer house can be found by taking the mill hill road north, and about halfway to Valedale another road connects to it. Take the connecting road and the summer house is at the top of the little hill.

Go inside what’s left of the house and search the piles of rubble and refuse for the book.

self

“Among the raffle you find an old registration book about the Silverglade family line. The book is falling apart and many pages are moldy, but you find what you were searching for: 1964 the Baroness married a Mr John Sandman, registered in Firgrove.”

Quest completed

______________

Bring Back the Book

self

“You better bring the book with you back to the manor so that Alex can see it.”

Objectives: Return to Alex with the old registration book.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP, Nice Sweater

Reputation: 45 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride back to the Manor with the book.

alex

Whoa, this is one really old book – it’s practically falling apart! John Sandman, you say? I wonder who that is.

Quest completed

Return to Alex tomorrow.

It seems in all the chaos Sonja was able to slip away from her boring stable chores. She can be found riding around in the Hollow Woods. She may take some chasing to get to talk to her.

Trash in the Woods

sonja

Hi, it’s me, Sonja. I am out riding but there is so much trash in the woods so I try to clear it up so our horses and animals don’t get hurt. You can’t believe how much stuff people throw in the woods, too bad. Help me collect some trash!

Objectives: There is trash to collect! Clear the woods and make it safe for all animals.

Rewards: 22 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 45 with Silverglade Manor

Pick up the trash, as highlighted on your minimap.

sonja

Wow! You found a lot of trash! Great work. Now I think it’s safer to ride here and the animals in the wood won’t get hurt anymore.

a new kind of horse racing, back to duty, baroness, checking the riding track, judy

Checking the Riding Track

baroness

The race track? Oh, Godfrey told you about that. The work has been suspended for some time now, but you may well ride over there to see if it’s still there at all, or if perhaps the G.E.D. have turned that into an oil field too. It wouldn’t surprise me, honestly. If it’s there however, you should try it out and see if it’s working.

Objectives: Ride down to the manor’s race track.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 85 XP

Reputation: 30 with Silverglade Manor

The easiest way to get to the track is to cut through the oil fields, there’s a trail that leads directly to the race track.

self

“This is the start machine for the race track. The track itself seems to be far from finished. There is rubble all over the place so racing here now won’ be easy. If you don’t want to use the rubble as obstacles, that is!”

Quest completed

______________

A New Kind of Horse Racing

self

“Use the rubble s obstacles and race the track by jumping over it.”

Obstacles: Use the rubble as obstacles and race the track jumping over it.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 85 XP

Reputation: 30 with Silverglade Manor

Watch out for the rubble! Return to the Baroness when you’ve completed the track.

baroness

Really? You jumped over the rubble? Well, that’s an idea… I hope that they will finish it soon, though. You should ride over there from time to time to see if there has been any problems.

Quest completed

Back to Duty

baroness

Enough chatting. You need to be off, dear girl. I’m sure they need you down at the equestrian center.

Objectives: Head back to the Silverglade Equestrian Center for new chores.

Let’s start out by finishing the quest with Barney from the day before, so that we can feed the birds!

Amazing Grains

barney

Here is the grain. Now bring that back to Steve and the birds.

Objectives: Bring the grain to Steve.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 85 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

Do as Barney says and take the grain back to Steve.

steve

Wonderful! My birds can finally eat to their hearts content.

Quest completed

______________

Feeding the Birds

steve

Would it be too much to ask if you fed the birds as well? Just put the grain on the bird tables and they will flock around you. I think some birds are fleeing from the Everwind Fields since G.E.D. has started to drill for oil over there. Poor birds.

Objectives: Put the grain on the bird stables to feed the birds.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 125 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

The bird tables are scattered around the farm. Place the grain from your inventory onto the bird tables.

steve

Look how happy they are. I must say that you make an excellent bird feeder.

Quest completed

Donald the Tailor needs some help!

I Need More Wool!

donald

Rita! How are you? Now that you’re here, perhaps you could do me a favor. After this harsh winter I need to make a lot of warm jackets for people. You see, I’m out of wool at the moment, and as a tailor I depend on wool to make fabrics and thread to make clothes with. You should be able to get some more wool from the shepherd, Landon. Please run this errand for me, will you?

Objectives: Find the shepherd and ask him for some wool.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Village

The easiest way to get to the shepherd is to take the road north out of Silverglade Village, and after the large hill, take a right and he’s in the little field beyond.

landon

Well hello! What? You’ve come for wool? Oh, I’m afraid I have to disappoint you; I haven’t had time to shear the sheep yet. I’ve been too busy watching over them. I’m awfully afraid they’ll run away, you see, and that would be such a tragedy, don’t you think? I couldn’t stand losing another one of them.

Quest completed

______________

How to Shave a Sheep

landon

If it’s very important I could of course lend you some sheep shears and in that way you could shear the wool off them yourself. Do you want to help me with that?

Yes? You are a feisty young lady, I must say! Here you go then; take these sheep shears and cut off as much wool as you want.

Objectives: Use the sheep shears to cut wool from four sheep.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

You only need to shear four sheep so you can choose any four you want to shear.

landon

Nice work. Perhaps you should consider becoming a sheep farmer yourself some day? I work for the Baroness of Silverglade, do you know her? No? Ok, I guess you will meet her soon and probably start work for her like everybody else around here.

Quest completed

______________

Wool for the Tailor

landon

Say hello to Donald for me, will you? Now I’ve got to return to watching the sheep. I almost thought one of them was going, there, for a while. The Baroness would not be happy if I lost one… She is very upset right now over the new oil drilling project at the Everwind Fields.

Objectives: Take the wool to Donald, the tailor.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

Donald is waiting for you.

donald

Beautiful! Looks like this wool has been cut off by a true professional and the sheep look great!

Quest completed

Looks like Harold needs help with something again.

Cookies to the Castle

harold

Once a month we deliver a jar of cookies to the castle. These are cardamom cookies; greatly appreciated by the Baroness. Will you take them there, please? Ride there on that beautiful horse of yours and it will take you no time at all.

I forgot to note the objectives and rewards for this one, sorry!

Take the cookies to the front gate of the castle.

self

“Nobody is answering the door. There’s nothing to do but head back to the shop. Unless you want to taste one of those cardamom cookies… they smell rather divine.”

Quest completed

______________

No Cookies to the Castle

self

“As nobody is answering the door, it seems the best thing to do is head back to the shop.”

Objectives: Return to the shop with the cookies.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Take the cookies back to Harold. And try not to eat any on the way back…

harold

The castle was closed? Nobody answered the door? You know, lately there’ve been some rumors circling around about that place. Someone said they heard what sounded like a girl crying from inside the building. Frankly, I don’t know what to think. The Baroness has seemed… anxious, lately.

Quest completed

______________

Bottles for the Butler

harold

If I have heard the crying? I can’t say I have. Actually, it kind of sounds like a silly ghost story to me. But hey, you could always ask the Baroness yourself when you see her.

The Baroness is the owner of the Silverglade Manor and the vineyards, you see. Her family, the Silverglades, run way back in history. They have been the most influential family in Jorvik since, I don’t know for how long, maybe hundreds of years.

Here are some wine bottle samples that the Baroness has requested. See if can deliver them to the butler, he should be at the winery. Ride carefully! The bottles are fragile.

I forgot to note the objectives and rewards for this one, sorry!

Take the gate out of the north of Silverglade Village and follow the road to the west to get to the winery.

godfrey

Miss? Oh, the bottle samples, very good. Thank you. What? Yes, the winter has been hard indeed, for the manor as well. How the Baroness is? You heard that she was very busy – I see. Well, one could say that; she’s had a lot on her mind lately with the G.E.D. exploiting the land and all. She’s building a new race track as well, which of course takes a lot of time and effort. But I’ll see that she gets these. Certainly, miss. Good bye.

Quest completed

______________

The Very Noble Stable

godfrey

Pardon? A stable? Why of course we have a stable here; the Silverglade Equestrian Center – the noblest stable in Jorvik, miss! You come from Moorland? Well, you should indeed pay a visit to the Equestrian Center; it houses some of the best performing horses on the island.

Why don’t you speak to Linda… hold on… what am I saying – not Linda! Ha, ha! Not Linda, miss. There are other stable girls over there, however. I think one of them is called Judy. Judy will be able to help you.

Objectives: Talk to Judy at the Silverglade Equestrian Center.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Manor

Suspicious, at the very least. I’ll be back to you later Mr Godfrey…

Ride over to the stable and speak with Judy.

judy

Hi Rita! Of course I know who you are, I’m so glad you’re here! I’m Judy by the way. I spoke to Thomas Moorland earlier and he told me that you and Summerblaze are really great together, like you truly bonded. That makes me happy since Summerblaze is the horse I used to ride when I first started out as a stable girl at Moorland. He’s a wonderful horse and deserves a rider that understands him.

Anyway, we’re short on people here since Linda went away. Thomas said that if you happened to come by, I could ask you if you would be willing to help out a bit here.

Quest completed

______________

Help the Equestrian Center

judy

Have you met the Baroness yet? No, it doesn’t surprise me. She’s been acting almost hysterical lately – when you actually see her, that is. It seems like she’s spending more and more time inside the castle, God knows what she is doing.

Will you please help out the stables until Thomas needs you again?

Objectives: Talk to Judy at the Silverglade Equestrian Center.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Manor

Tell Judy you can help out in the stables.

judy

Thank goodness you said yes! Ok, so what we need you to do is give the horses hay and water, groom them and muck out the boxes. You can do this whenever you feel there’s the need. You’ll find detailed information on the notice board in the yard. I will be around if you need anything, but I doubt that you will have any problems. You look like a smart girl.

Quest completed

______________

Inspect the Water Pipes

judy

What we acutely need help with though, are the water pipes for the irrigation system in the fields. We just turned the water on and now the pipes are leaking. They must have broken down during the winter by the cold.

Do you think you could try to locate the leaks? Ride over there on Summerblaze, the terrain is a bit troublesome to walk on for you and me. When you find a leak, turn the knob and stop the water at that spot.

Objectives: Locate the eight leaks and turn eight knobs to stop the water.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Manor

Follow the orange highlights to the leaking pipes. All of the pipes are on the lower terrace of the vineyard, behind the stable.

judy

You found all the leaks? Fantastic! I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am to have you here!

Quest completed

The next character that needs help is Carney. He is standing behind Judy next to the fence around the stable.

Testing the Soil

carney

So, I heard you were riding around and was hoping that I could ask you for a favor. The thing is, we’re doing some tests on the soil around the vineyards and the results should be ready now. Would you be so kind as to check them for me?

Objectives: Check the soil test instruments and report back to Carney.

Rewards: 22 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Manor

The tests are in the very back fields and can most easily be reached by taking the trail next to the Manor to go behind it. There is a bridge over the little gully, and the tests are on the other side of the bridge.

When you have visited all three of the devices, return to Carney.

carney

Interesting. Very interesting. Thank you so much for helping me with this.

Quest completed

______________

Grape Sprout

carney

And you know what; could you get me a sprout from one of the grapevines as well? We’ll perform tests on that too. Use these garden shears. I did send the girl Sonja for the sprout samples, but she couldn’t find any…

Objectives: Cut off a sprout from the grapevines and return to Carney.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 65 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

The sprout can be found on the lower terrace behind the stable.

Also, if you didn’t notice, the shears Carney gives you is actually a rake…

carney

That’s it. Thank you, Rita. You are of really good help.

Quest completed

Judy needs help again.

The Riding Plumber

judy

Here are some tools that you can use to fix the water leaks you found on the pipes.

Objectives: Use the tools to fix the water leaks.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 95 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Manor

Return to the same pipes that you turned off, and fix them with the plumbing kit.

judy

Ok, great. Let’s hope that the pipes stay together for a while. We’ve got other things to do, haven’t we?

Quest completed

______________

Report to the Baroness

judy

You did a great job on the pipes, Rita. The Baroness herself was here earlier and complained about the leaks – she will be absolutely thrilled over the fact that you fixed them.

You know what, you should go over to the castle and tell her. Then you’ll get a chance to introduce yourself. The Baroness is a really good person to know around here. If you’re ever in trouble she will be able to help you with almost anything. If you make a good impression on her, that is.

Objectives: Go to the Baroness and tell her that you fixed the leaks.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 40 with Silverglade Manor

Go north past the front of the Manor and the Baroness is on the other side, in front of the wall, beside a pile of grapes.

baroness

Hello there my dear, who might you be? Rita? Oh, you work in the stable, I see. I’m delighted to hear that the leaks are fixed and that you sent the grapevines to be analyzed, very good indeed. I’m afraid you’ll have to be off now, though since I have a lot of work to get to. I’m a little stressed out at the moment as you may be able to tell.

If you could help? Well, I’m sure you can’t help more than you already did, dear; these are some big issues I’m handling right now. I’m sure you’ve already heard about the construction company doing their best to destroy my land – “Global Energy Domination”, have you ever heard such a fatheaded, ridiculous name? They actually set up an OIL FIELD next to my vineyards. and our upcoming harvest will be as poor as ever. Oh my. I feel like a terrible evil has come to this island.

Quest completed

Return to the Baroness tomorrow.

After the Baroness’ little speech it’s time to go see another person. Follow the same trail you took to get the soil tests back next to the Manor and cross the little bridge to get to the Everwind Fields.

A Familiar Unhappy Face

mr_kembell

Well, well, well… What do we have here? So we meet up again… Well, to be honest with you I am not very happy to see you again. You really ruined my plans to bring down your little stable and build my houses there. Do you have any idea how much money I lost because of you!

Are you going to try to destroy more things for me now?

Objectives: Talk to Mr Kembell.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 85 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

More Mr Kembell brand melodrama at its finest.

mr_kembell

This oil is mine and only mine! Nothing will stop me from drilling for oil here, not even you! So take your stupid horse and go away! I don’t want to see you ever again!
