a big thank you from ferdinand and eddie, an herbal remedy against seasickness, back to seasick horses, carin, eddie, ferdinand, horses on the loose in cape west, mayor klaus, rent for the horse market in golden hills valley, seasick horses need medicine

The following quests are only available when the market is at Cape West Fishing Village.

Seasick Horses Need Medicine!

Ah! My dear Rita! How wonderful that you’ve come to see us! You’re like a lovely little spring flower; it always cheers us up so much when you stop by. If you’re looking for something to do, maybe you could help me with a little errand? Ooh, wonderful Rita, that’s really nice of you!

It’s such a shame… Our lovely horses are feeling a little seasick after our journey here on the barge. They usually deal quite well with being at sea, but this time it seems to have been a bit too much for them. Thinking about it, our old friend Carin at Goldenleaf Stables could probably help us out. I seem to remember something happening last time they were seasick, but hey, my memory isn’t what it used to be, dear Rita. Hurry along to Carin and be sure to say hello to her from me!

Objectives: Ask Carin to help the horses get rid of their seasickness.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 100 with Ferdinand’s Horse Market

Carin should know of a helpful remedy for the horses.

Hello there Rita. What can I do for you?

Quest completed

______________

An Herbal Remedy Against Seasickness

Sooo… Ferdinand and Eddie’s horses are seasick again. Tsk, don’t they remember what happened last time? Ah well, of course I’ll help again, but Ferdinand really should know better by now!

The best thing for their seasickness is to give them fresh beach flowers to munch on, it usually makes the worst of the seasickness subside. These beach flowers grow all around the island, so take a look around and pick as many as you need then come back to me.

Rita, you must only pick green beach flowers. It’s important not to pick the red ones because they’re a protected species as you maybe know. Only green. No red. Understood? Great!

Off you go now!

Objectives: Gather green beach flowers and return to Carin. Don’t pick red ones, they’re a protected species!

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 100 with Ferdinand’s Horse Market

Ride out on the beach surrounding the stable, and pick only the green flowers. If you pick a red flower, you will fail the quest and have to start over.

When you have picked enough green flowers, return to Carin.

Oh! I see you’ve got those lovely green beach flowers!

Quest competed

______________

Back to Seasick Horses

Here you go, Rita! Your green beach flowers. Give them to Ferdinand and tell him that he needs to mix them in with their food and he should notice they’ll feel better almost straight away.

Say hi to Ferdinand and Eddie from me. See you soon!

Objectives: Ride back to Ferdinand.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 100 with Ferdinand’s Horse Market

Return to Ferdinand with the remedy for the sick horses.

Oh, the green flowers!

Quest completed

______________

Horses on the Loose in Cape West!

Oh, jumping jellyfish! Rita, I can’t believe it’s happened again! All the horses are loose!

Good grief, once they’d eaten up all their beach flowers, they really seemed to get much better. Seems as though they’re feeling a little bit too perky. The second I had my back turned, they just made a break for it This happens every time we come to Golden Hills Valley. I’m sure they were only play-acting when they looked so seasick; they knew they’d get some tasty beach flowers from me to fix them up so perhaps they were just planning to run away all along.

Look, they’re dashing around here… You see them, but they don’t seem to be in a hurry to come back.

Could you round them up for us, Rita? It’s just a case of finding them; they’ll come right back afterwards. Sometimes their frolicking drives me crazy, but if these zesty little moments never happened then everything would get rather boring, don’t you think?

Good luck Rita, and be sure to have a good look; those horses really can fly when they feel like it!

Objectives: Find all the loose horses in Cape West Fishing Village.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 100 with Ferdinand’s Horse Market

Chase down all of the horses, and when you get close to them, they will stop. When you have caught all of the horses, return to Ferdinand.

Hoho, you did a great job Rita! All of the horses are finally back where they belong. Next time we’re here, we won’t fall for the same nonsense again!

Quest completed

______________

Rent for the Horse Market at Golden Hills Valley

Hello Rita! Do you think you could help me with a little errand? I haven’t got time to leave the market just now, but the rent needs to be paid. You’re one of my most trustworthy friends, so I could certainly rely on you to get this envelope of Jorvik Shillings to Mayor Klaus in Cape West Fishing Village. It’ll be light work for a ride of your ability.

You’ll do it? Oh, thank you Rita!

Objectives: Give the rent money to Mayor Klaus in Cape West Fishing Village.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 100 with Ferdinand’s Horse Market

Ride up into the village square and give the Mayor the rent money.

Hello there Rita. Ah look, the rent from Ferdinand and Eddie. Marvelous. Give them my regards.

Quest completed

______________

A Big Thank You from Ferdinand and Eddie

Dearest Rita, you’ve really been a huge help for us here in Golden Hills Valley. If you hadn’t helped us to find all the horses, we’d have been forced to search for them all night long.

Eddie and I had a little chat earlier on, and we both decided that we wanted to give you a gift, you know, to say thanks for all you’ve done for us. Eddie has been fixing it up and I think she’s finished. You go talk to her and you’ll get a really lovely present from us, and nope, I’m saying nothing about what it is. That would only spoil the surprise! So long, dear Rita, see you soon.

Objectives: Talk with Eddie at the Horse Market.

Rewards: 150 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP, Loud and Colorful Hawaiian Shirt

Rewards: 500 with Ferdinand’s Horse Market

Speak to Eddie about the present.

Hello Rita! Here, I’ve dug this out of the caravan for you. It’s a lovely little thing I got which Ferdinand wore on our wedding day. I’m certain it’ll suit you perfectly! Here you go. Until next time Rita.

a scuba tank for the mayor, jasper, mayor klaus, mr k trout, pi, scuba tank delivery, scuba tank on the loose, scuba tank rocket, shadows in the tank, this is how a shadow is caught, trap to the witch, valve fishing, we need to capture the shadows

Let’s see if Pi has decided what to do about the Shadow Seekers loose in Jorvik.

We Need to Capture the Shadows

I’ve thought a lot about it Rita, and I haven’t been able to come up with anything…

Wait!

Now I have an idea…

I have it!

We should build a shadow trap and catch all the awful shadow seekers!

But I’m not sure how…

Hmmm…

You know what… The thin air up here in the mountains is making me dizzy.

I can’t come up with anything. Ride to the Fishing Village and speak with my old husband, Klaus. He is clever and I’m sure he will come up with something.

Objectives: Speak with Klaus in the Fishing Village. He will come up with an idea.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with The Goldenleaves

Let’s go see if Klaus has any ideas. Pi is no help…

Something tough to catch Shadow Seekers in? What exactly is a Shadow Seeker anyway? Sounds mysterious.

You should really speak with my wife about this… This is more her kind of thing. Oh… It was her who sent you here?

Aha. Let me think for a minute…

Quest completed

______________

Scuba Tank on the Loose

Aha Rita! Now I have an idea!

My old scuba tank that I used for underwater archaeology was built specifically to be impact resistant and good under pressure. I’m sure that would be good enough to hold a few infernal Shadow Seekers without any trouble at all.

Unfortunately, it isn’t here.

I loaned out my tank to Mr K Trout who was going to try cod fishing underwater. Speak with him and tell him you need to borrow it. He has had plenty of time to get his own scuba gear by now if he has decided to continue his underwater fishing.

Objectives: Speak with Mr K Trout, who has borrowed Klaus’s scuba tank.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with The Goldenleaves

Mr Trout should be able to give the scuba tank back.

Klaus’s scuba tank? Yes, I borrowed it. But it is gone now…

Quest completed

______________

Scuba Tank Rocket

It is actually a little embarrassing, Rita. I thought this diving thing was easy… But when I went to fill the tank with air, I must have done something wrong. I think I might have put too much air in it… Because suddenly the valve flew off and the tank took off like a rocket, straight up into the air.

I didn’t see where it went but it must have landed somewhere in the village. How will you find it?

I’m sure it made quite a hole in whatever it might have landed on when it came down again. If you ride up somewhere high, you might be able to see where it landed?

Objectives: Get up as high as you can in the village and look if you can see where the scuba tank might have landed.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with The Goldenleaves

The lighthouse is sufficiently high enough.

Enter the front door to look from the top of the lighthouse. The scuba tank crashed through the porch roof of the house to the far left of the screen. When you get down from the lighthouse view, with the lighthouse behind you, go immediately to your left and you will find the scuba tank on the ground of the first house on the right. If you go around the corner of the path, you have gone too far.

When you have the scuba tank, return to Mr Trout.

You found the scuba tank, Rita. Well done!

Quest completed

______________

Valve Fishing

The valve? You need that too? Well… I don’t really know where it is either…

You know when the scuba tank took off like a rocket, I was terrified and I dove out of the way… And I think I must have dropped the valve out in the water here. But you know what? I have an idea…

If you borrow my magnetic fishing lure, that I invented, for when I’m fishing for Jorvik Iron Herring, you might be able to find it. I’m sure it is on the bottom somewhere close by so it shouldn’t be impossible.

Good luck!

Objectives: Fish for the valve from the scuba tank near Mr K Trout and speak with him again when you have found it.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with The Goldenleaves

Oh, Mr Trout, what are we to do with you…?

Fish for the lure off of the inside corner of the east dock, right behind Mr Trout. This part works just the same as the normal fishing does.

When you have found the valve, return to Mr Trout.

You see Rita, you can solve any problem with a fishing rod!

Now let’s see… There! Now the valve is attached to the scuba tank properly again!

Quest completed

______________

A Scuba Tank for the Mayor

There, now you have a perfectly workable scuba tank. A little rusty maybe, but it will work just fine.

Thank Klaus for me and tell him that underwater fishing didn’t work out well for me anyways… My float went straight up to the surface and I never got any bites!

Objectives: Take the whole scuba tank back to Klaus.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with The Goldenleaves

Guess who we’re not letting borrow our stuff…

Yep. That is my old scuba tank.

Quest completed

______________

Scuba Tank Delivery

Have a look Rita. This old scuba tank should be able to hold a few Shadow Seekers in check with no problem. Take the tank to my old wife and say hello from me!

Objectives: Take the scuba tank to the witch Pi.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with The Goldenleaves

Ride back up into the mountains to give the scuba tank to Pi.

A scuba tank? Huh, can that really work?

Quest completed

______________

Shadows in the Dark

Hmm… A scuba tank… I’ll need to cast a very strong spell on it… But it might work.

But now… We need to find a way to get the Shadow Seekers into the tank. How should we do that? Who should we ask about that?

Jasper? You think Jasper might be able to help with this? His barn is full of all kinds of possible solutions you think? Okay. Worth a try. Ride over and ask him what he might have for this problem.

Objectives: Speak with Jasper if he has anything we can use to catch Shadow Seekers with.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with The Goldenleaves

Jasper has all kinds of fun things up in his barn.

You need to squeeze Shadow Seekers into a scuba tank? Have you gone completely nuts?

Quest completed

______________

Shadows in the Tank

Hello there, Rita. I have finally managed to cart away all those stones. It wasn’t easy. Water? I could have just poured water on them and they would have melted? You could have told me that earlier… It cost me a sprained back and two shovels to get them out of here. Grrr…

But what are you saying now… Catching shadows?

Catching Shadow Seekers? Aha… Hmmm… I have no idea really, but look in my barn and see if there is anything you might be able to use. There is all kinds of old junk in there.

Objectives: Look in the barn for something you might be able to use to catch Shadow Seekers.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with The Goldenleaves

Dismount your horse to be able to go into the barn attic. When you have found something, return to Jasper.

A vacuum cleaner? Haha… You are a funny one, Rita!

Quest completed

______________

This is How a Shadow is Caught

I’m not quite sure what you are thinking but go ahead and take the vacuum cleaner. It hasn’t been used since bell-bottom pants were fashionable. Ah… Those were the days. They called me the King of Fort Pinta, did you know that? When I got up on the dance floor at the disco, everyone would move away. Nobody could compete with me at disco dancing.

Ah… I feel the old fire in my legs again just thinking about it. Watch now and you’ll see some real disco dancing! YES! I feel like a young man again! I’m going to invite the Baroness to the disco and show you youngsters how it is really done!

Come on now! Woohoo! One and two and OWWW!!

Ouch… Now my back is locked up again. That was dumb of me. Good think I have a cane.

Quest completed

______________

Trap to the Witch

Bah. Run off to the witch with that junky vacuum cleaner. Go on… Get out of here!

Objectives: Ride back to the witch Pi with the vacuum you got from Jasper.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with The Goldenleaves

Well, it’s not my fault you started dancing like a fool… Don’t get mad at me…

A vacuum cleaner? Ah…

Time Consuming Research

I’ve been reading all night. There was so much to read… Yawn… Zzzz…

Objectives: Speak with Linda.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Sounds like me studying for finals…

Woo… Oops, excuse me… I must have fallen asleep again. Yawn… I’m sure you are wondering if I found anything we can use? I think I have found a lead at any rate.

Quest completed

______________

The Legend of The Golden Apple

This is what I have discovered:

The legend says there is a type of Golden Apple that has magical properties that would affect an evil witch. Special trees produce these apples and they only grow one apple each year. Of course while the legend says that the apple would turn a cruel witch kind again, it is also a powerful weapon against the witches who have been trying to destroy the trees for years. At any rate, even if we get it… How are we going to get her to eat it?

Objectives: Listen to Linda.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Linda will tell you more about these golden apples.

Aha. There is another story that says the more cruel that a witch gets, the harder it is for her to resist the chance to eat the Golden Apple when it is offered to her. Something about being truly cruel builds an irresistible appetite for the apple. Some think that the apple merely releases the witch’s inner desire to do good after years of evil work. A cruel witch will continue to do evil works for years and will not wish to be freed but they also can’t withstand the Golden Apple when it is offered by a pure soul with good intentions.

Quest completed

______________

Where Do We Find the Golden Apples?

Good question. All the known Golden Apple trees have been destroyed by witches. But I think we might know where on is that may have survived.

Aha, you picked a golden apple in Applegrove recently? I’m sorry, but I don’t think that is the right kind of apple. These are golden apples and there are Golden Apples… There are different kinds.

But listen here! Every year there is a traditional competition around Scarecrow Cliffs in Goldenhills Valley. The competition is to race out and pick the first yearly apple from the old tree on Scarecrow Hill and bring it back to the finish.

A few years back Alex took part in the race under some strange circumstances. Since that race the whole area has been closed and the race hasn’t been run again. I think we should speak with Alex about this.

Can you give me a ride to her?

Objectives: Listen to Linda.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Tell Linda that you will give her a ride to where Alex is.

Great. Just tell me when you are ready to take me to Alex, who is probably still watching the North Gate. We’ll see you outside!

Quest completed

______________

Tell Alex About the Golden Apple

Ready to give me a ride to Alex by the gate? Excellent. Let’s go!

Objectives: Give Linda a ride to Alex at the Northern Gate

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride up to Shadow Hills and meet Alex by the North Iron Gate.

Hey Rita and Linda! Fun to see you again, I was beginning to think you had forgotten all about me!

You’ve found out that a Golden Apple can transform the witch? Hmm… Sounds strange. There is definitely a Golden Apple at Scarecrow Hill. I was there and picked one during the competition back when they used to have them. But now Scarecrow Hill is closed and I think it has been for years now.

Quest completed

______________

Unlock the Scarecrow Hill Gate?

Do you think the Key to the City opens the gate to Scarecrow Hill? It’s not that unlikely. I still have the key so take it with you and give it a try. I’ll stay and keep watch over the gate here so you can ride over and look.

Objectives: Ride over to the Scarecrow Hill and try and unlock the gate with the Key to the City.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride to Scarecrow Hill and try the key, then speak with Linda.

Rita, bad luck. The key won’t work with the gate. What should we do now?

Quest completed

______________

The Key Doesn’t Fit

So typical that the key doesn’t work. Ride to Mayor Klaus and ask him what the problem might be. He should know why this key won’t open this stupid gate like it should.

I’ll wait here while we figure out how to open the gate.

Objectives: Speak with Klaus.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with The Goldenleaves

Ride to Cape West Fishing Village and speak with Mayor Klaus.

Thank you for the key! I hope it worked on the North Gate.

What? You couldn’t use it to open the gate to Scarecrow Hill? Wait… That is as it should be. I locked it years ago and actually threw away the key…

Quest completed

______________

Klaus Tells You About Scarecrow Hill

Why did I lock the gate and throw away the key? Well… Scarecrow Hill used to be a safe and beautiful place and we used to have a fantastic race there. But a few years ago, the scarecrows came to life… Which was a bit more than frightening. So the scarecrows wouldn’t get out, I locked the door with a different key so nobody could get in… And threw away the key to make sue it would stay shut. It was perhaps a little stupid now that I think about it but I was afraid and perhaps wasn’t thinking very clearly at the time.

Hmmm… You think it might have been my wife Pi who brought the scarecrows to life to prevent people from getting to the magic apple? Interesting idea… I hadn’t thought of that.

Objectives: Speak with Klaus.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with The Goldenleaves

Klaus will tell you more about the locked gate.

Oh well. Done is done. You will need to find another way to open that gate without the right key. I’m sorry, but when something that scary happens you don’t always do the right thing.

Quest completed

______________

Can a Strong Smuggler Break Open a Lock?

The key was thrown off the bridge and it is very, very deep there so we won’t be getting that key back. I don’t really have a good idea of how else we are going to get into Scarecrow Hill.

Maybe you know someone who might be able to open a lock like this?

What do I know. Whoa… You look like you just got an idea… Do you have someone in mind?

Objectives: Speak with Smuggler Bob in the Smuggler’s Cave. Maybe he can open the lock…

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride through Labyrinth Shore to get to the smugglers.

Aha… Trouble on four legs! You again. I think we might be seeing each other a little too often. You do remember we are secret and don’t really want to be as famous as you. Aha… You need our help? Again? With a lock?

Quest completed

______________

Lock Emergency

So you want help to break into Scarecrow Hill? You have the Mayor’s permission? Okay… But this is going to be the last time we help you as after that we expect you to leave us alone. Okay?

Speak with my associate Rob her, he has some bolt cutters he can lend you. Make sure you bring those back when you are done with them.

Objectives: Speak with Rob, Bob’s smuggler buddy.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Ask Rob if you can borrow his bolt cutters.

Hmm. I’m Rob. You borrow bolt cutters? Rob says it okay.

Quest completed

______________

Bolt Cutters Open Almost Everything

Okay. Here are the bolt cutters. You make sure you bring those back when you are done with them. You understand?

Objectives: Cut off the lock from the gate to Scarecrow Hill with the bolt cutters.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride back to Scarecrow Hill and dismount your horse to use the bolt cutters.

“You strain with the effort but you manage to cut the lock off the gate…”

Quest completed

______________

Rob’s Bolt Cutters

“Better return the bolt cutters as soon as possible… That Rob guy was weird and not the kind of guy you want to irritate. Better do it before going into Scarecrow Hill.”

Objectives: Return the bolt cutters to Rob before you explore Scarecrow Hill.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride back to Rob in the Smuggler’s Cave to return his bolt cutters.

Me Rob! You… horse! Bolt cutters mine! No scratch. Good. Rob happy. You leave now.

Quest completed

Ride back up to Scarecrow Hill and speak with Linda.

Explore Scarecrow Hill

Do you know what Rita? Those living scarecrows in there are really scary. Are you sure you can get past them and up to the tree? If you manage it, don’t forget to get that golden apple. If there is one…

Objectives: Try to get the Golden Apple past the scarecrows in Scarecrow Hill.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride through the gate and explore. Watch out for their lazerbeam eyes!

Okay Rita, it looks like trying to ride past the scarecrows isn’t going to work. Whatever you do they seem to be able to scare you or your horse away.

Quest completed

______________

Find Out More About the Scarecrows

Evil, living scarecrows. Wow… What are we going to do now? It will be hard to find out about the scarecrows so I think we need to speak with Elizabeth. This is powerful magic we are talking about so we’ll save time going to her first.

I’m afraid we are not going to find the answers we need for this problem in books… But I’ll try. Give me a ride to the library at the Winery and I’ll get off there and try to find something helpful in the books. Then you can ride to Elizabeth and ask her about our problem.

Objectives: Give Linda a lift to the main building of the Winery. Then you can ride to talk to Elizabeth in Valedale.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Drop Linda off at the Winery, then go visit Elizabeth in Valedale.

Living, people-hating scarecrows… You are wondering how you can get past them without scaring you out of the hills?

Quest completed

______________

How to Get Past the Scarecrows

It is powerful magic that has brought the scarecrows to life and it seems that they are still under control of their maker. I’m certain it is Pi who has created them to prevent people from getting anywhere near the Golden Apple… The apple we hope is growing on the windblown top of Scarecrow Hill’s highest point.

I know that with powerful magic, the spell controlling the scarecrows could be broken… But we haven’t seen power like that since we had a fragment of Aideen’s Light a long time ago. I should tell you about that.

Objectives: Speak with Elizabeth.

Reward: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Elizabeth will tell you more about Aideen’s Light fragment.

When Aideen first stepped onto the island of Jorvik, right after the creation of the island, Aideen had a strong light in her hand which brought life and light to this dead stone island. The light was strong magic filled with goodness and warmth that we’ve never seen again. But in later years we found a fragment of that light which was used for many good deeds, but lost along the way deep in history.

I’m sure even a tiny piece of that light would certainly be enough to break the magic of the evil scarecrows.

Quest completed

______________

Is There a Fragment in Jarl’s Crypt?

They say that Jon Jarl was buried with a fragment of the light in his crypt. It is one of the few stories I know about the light that might actually be true. Jon Jarl was the first to come to the island a long time ago, some time in the twelfth century, and it was him that named the island Jorvik.

The problem is Jarl’s Crypt is sealed and I have no idea how we can open it. I know Rita, you have been there and collected Ghost Ore, but that was just the first chamber you were in. According to the stories, the crypt is made of more rooms… Or at least that is what they say.

But maybe the history books can help you with this. Chat with Linda, you already dropped her off at the library, and see if you can find anything in the history books that might help. Maybe something there will help us open Jarl’s Crypt.

Objectives: Ride to the Winery library and tell Lind what you have found out.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Back to the Winery we go!

I haven’t found anything yet… But you have? Great!

So if I understand what you are telling me: A fragment of Aideen’s Light can break the spell that is animating the scarecrows, and that the stories say that a fragment is buried with Jarl in his crypt… But we need to figure out how to get into the crypt? Okay… Not easy. I’m sure there is something in the history books about his funeral.

Quest completed

______________

Books About Jon Jarl

I know there are three books we are going to want to look at. Nic Stoneground’s Travel Diary always has great information about things here on Jorvik and I think we need volume twelve. Then we need a history book about Jarl’s funeral, and maybe a book about his life here on Jorvik. Help me find the books about our local hero Jon Jarl. They are here in the library.

Objectives: Find the three books about Jon Jarl.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Pick up the books around the library and take them to Linda.

These are the three most important books we need. Excellent.

Quest completed

Return to Linda tomorrow.

Let’s go learn some fishing techniques from Mr Trout.

Try Fishing!

Look at that! Another beautiful day! I can just feel it that the fish will be biting today! If you have bought a fishing rod from Mr Loop, then we are ready to get started.

So this is how we do it. Fishing requires patience and a little luck. But first we need a good place to fish and that isn’t that easy. A good fishing place is a secret that fishermen usually don’t share with each other. You need to look everywhere, and it can be hard and require time and patience. Maybe you have fishing friends who can share their secrets with you? Otherwise you need to look…

I’ll give you some beginner tips. Halfway up the eastern of the two south-running bridges is a pretty good spot. Go there and give it a try. When the float, some people call it a bobber, goes completely under water, click it at just the right time to catch the fish! You’ll need to wait for the right moment and time it just right to catch them.

Catch three roach fish and then come back to me.

Objectives: Use your fishing rod at the fishing spot halfway up the eastern south-running dock. Catch three roach fish for Mr K Trout. Fishing rods are sold by Mr Loop. Click on the fishing float when it goes completely under water to catch the fish!

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP, Fishing License

Reputation: 50 with Jorvik Fishing Club

There are a couple mistakes in the quest dialogue. The fishing spot is actually on the western south-running dock, and you need to catch five fish to complete the quest.

If you have not yet purchased a fishing rod, you can do so from Mr Loop’s shop. Take it to the spot marked by the orange sparkles. Dismount your horse and place your fishing rod on the spot. You will then enter the fishing minigame. When you have caught the required amount of fish, you will automatically exit the fishing minigame. Return to Mr Trout with your catch.

Look at that! You did great! Three fantastic roach fish! From now on you are Cape West Fishing Village’s number two big fisherman! After me, Mr K Trout, the number one fisherman in all of Jorvik of course. Welcome to the club Rita! Here is your Jorvik Fishing Club membership card! Congratulations!

Quest completed

Now let’s go see Conrad and do the next day of forging on our horseshoes.

Third Blacksmithing Day

Ready Rita? Now we are going to continue our work with your horseshoes. You know what to do now. We’re going to do the same thing today… But in a different order again. Follow instructions closely. There you go… You have my hammer and tongs again. Get ready to use them.

Objectives: Use the tongs and hammer to carry out the instructions Conrad gives you. Be careful!

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Keepers of Aideen

Follow Conrad’s instructions as you have done before. Speak with him again when you are finished.

Well forged! Now the metal needs to rest until tomorrow and then we can get started again. I think we will need more Jorvik Iron and it would make sense to go and get it before we start again.

Quest completed

______________

More Jorvik Iron

Listen here Rita. We need more Jorvik Iron for the horseshoes. With this special iron, these shoes should last forever. Do you remember where you go it last time? Here, take my pickaxe and ride into the Demascus Mine close to here and chip out some good Jorvik Iron that we can use.

Objectives: Mine some iron from the Demascus Mine and give it to Conrad.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride up into the mine behind the forge, and dismount your horse to use the pickaxe. When you have collected enough of the iron, return to Conrad.

Great Rita. Your horseshoes will last forever with Jorvik Iron in them.

Quest completed

Return to Conrad tomorrow.

With that done, let’s go take a pleasant ride by Nilmer’s Highland.

You Can Be a Ghost!

Watch where you are riding lunatic! You aren’t the only person up here, you know!

Ghost?! YOU could be a ghost! You almost run me over like a mad-woman then accuse me of being a ghost? All I’m doing here is waiting here, minding my own business, waiting for my wife to come home. Get out of here! Ghost… Hah!

“Wow… Could this be a real ghost? Am I dreaming? I need to speak with someone about this. Maybe someone at Moorland Stables has heard something about this…”

Objectives: Speak with someone at Moorland Stables about the ghost in Nilmer’s Highland.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Maybe Tan would know something about this?

A ghost? Ha ha, you didn’t think I’d fall for that, did you Rita?

Quest completed

______________

Ghosts There?

Whoa… You aren’t joking? Okay. I’m not entirely convinced it was a ghost you saw… Maybe you ate something funny… Or didn’t get enough sleep? Did you watch too many scary movies lately?

The only thing I know is that the farm up there has been abandoned for many years. Go and ask Loretta about it… I think she knows more about that farm.

Objectives: Speak with Loretta.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

I hate it when people don’t take me seriously…

Maybe Loretta will be more helpful.

Ghost? You saw it too?

Quest completed

______________

Two That Have Seen the Ghost

I knew I wasn’t crazy, Rita! You actually spoke to it! Brrr… I’d never be able to do that. There used to be a competition track here before, a long time ago, that went up past where that farm is now. The beginning of the track hasn’t changed since then… But the race used to be longer and finish up on the other side of the river by Hill Crest. I’m sure you have seen the broken bridge by the abandoned farm up there? I think the bridge might have something to do with the ghost…

Anyways, Mrs Holdsworth is old enough that she probably remembers something from that time. She must know more than I do. Maybe you should ask her?

Objectives: Speak with Mrs Holdsworth.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with Moorland Stable

Mrs Holdsworth knows about a lot of things.

Hey, my little friend! What’s on your mind? The broken bridge by Nilmer’s Highland? There was a horrible accident that happened there…

Quest competed

______________

Two Reliable Old Sources

Like I said, it was a tragic accident. During a competition, the old bridge collapsed! I remember it like it was yesterday. All of Jorvik was in shock when it happened. What made you ask me about it? It was a very long time ago. You want to know about the people who died? All I know is that it was a handsome man with a handsome horse. The papers wrote a lot about the accident. I’m sure there are some old copies of the Jorvik Gazette in the library archives. That’s where I would look if I were you. Good luck my friend!

Objectives: Ride to the library at the Winery and try to find more information about the accident.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

One more trip to the library. Pick up the newspaper on top of the bookshelf, inside the library.

“This article is about the accident in Nilmer’s Highland. Let’s see what it says…”

A competitor was killed in a tragic accident during the weekend’s competition in Moorland when the bridge over the southern part of the river collapsed. It appears that the wooden structure of the bridge had begun to rot and that lead to the collapse. The man who died has been identified as Mr Hill. Mr Hill leaves behind a wife who is grief stricken after the accident.

Quest completed

______________

Then What Happened?

“The article continues…”

The council in Silverglade is investigating the accident, the people responsible for the competition, and will speak to the wife of the victim. A report on the incident will be delivered soon.

“Hmm… The Council Man in Silverglade might know something more about this…”

Objectives: Speak with the Council Man in Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Let’s go see if the Council Man knows anything.

An accident in Nilmer’s Highland? It must have been before I started working here. But of course I’ll help you try to find out more about it.

Quest completed

Return to the Council Man tomorrow.

Quest completed

Alex is ready to catch the Dark Rider that is to pick up Justin’s horse. Let’s go see her outside the riding arena.

Observation Place Number 2

Now it is time. I thought I would watch the Southern Gate here. I thought you could watch the southern beach in Goldenhills Valley, just down from the broken bridge that goes over the ravine that makes a natural wall between the beach and the Goldenleaf Forest, you know. I’ve marked the place on your map.

I’ve sent other friends to other locations on the Golden Road, and around the Labyrinth Coast so I think we have the area quite well covered.

Proposal for Alex

Okay then Rita! Well followed! So the Dark Rider took Justin’s horse past the Northern Gate? What is up there and who’s there? Why are they taking Justin’s horse there? There are questions we’ll never know the answers to if we can’t get past that gate in some way… Do you have any good ideas?

Objectives: Tell Alex what you think we should do here next.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

See here, I’m full of good ideas!

Does Jasper Have Any Ideas?

Jasper is close by! We’ll see you at his place!

You are wondering what is past the Northern Gate? Well youngsters, it was a long, long time ago that I was there… But I’ll try to remember.

Quest completed

______________

An Old Man Tries to Remember

My memory is letting me down. It was over twenty years ago that I last set foot in the area past the North Gate. It should be open after the winter, just like the Southern Gate, if I remember right… I might have heard that it has been locked for a decade since I left… And hasn’t been opened since. But now we need to see if I can remember anything about the area past the gate…

Objectives: Listen to Jasper and see what he can remember…

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Think, think, think!

That’s right… There was a wood and a nice summer house there! And a road that led to an old fort if I remember right. The summer house in the area was owned by Mayor Klaus and his adorable wife, whose name I can’t remember right now… Wow, that was a long time ago. I remember eating pumpkin ice cream on the porch in the summer…

Quest completed

______________

A Chat with Klaus

Okay. It seems like someone is living beyond the Northern Gate and it just might be they are staying at the Mayor’s old summer place… Now we have something to check out. Ride over to Cape West Fishing Village and speak with Klaus. Ask him about his summer house and about his wife. Also ask to borrow the Key to the City so we can open the Northern Gate. I’ll watch the gate to see if the Dark Rider or anyone else comes out… Or possibly for anyone else coming in. We’ll see you there later.

Objectives: Speak with Mayor Klaus in Cape West Fishing Village about his old summer home.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Oh. You know what? I think I have to rush off now. I’m pretty sure I won’t remember anything about that… I think I need to go right now. Bye bye!

Objectives: Hunt down Klaus in the village! He is running away and doesn’t want to talk.

Rewards:10 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 10 with The Goldenleaves

Stupid man… How silly of you to run away from a person on a horse…

You caught me Rita. A bit dumb of me to think I could just run away from you and your horse. I can’t run away from you and I certainly can’t run away from my past…

Quest completed

______________

The Tragic Wife

Oh well. You can’t run away from your past. I’ll tell you everything.

My wife and I were so happy together… And we had a wonderful summer house together beside a mountain lake north of the gate. But my wife became interested in hocus-pocus type things… And she began to brew strange witch potions. I was really worried about her.

Finally, one day I returned to find our beautiful mountain lake had changed into a dark swamp! And my wife… She had turned into an evil witch!

There was nothing I could do for her! It is my biggest regret… She is still there completely lost in her potions and witchcraft.

So… You also want to speak to her?

Objectives: Speak with Klaus.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with The Goldenleaves

Yes, I would like to speak with her.

I don’t think she will listen to a word you say, my friend. My dear wife is gone and that witch is all that remains. It breaks my hear just to think about it. For my part I would still appreciate it if you would try and speak wit her.

You have helped me and the village a great deal already. Of course if there is anything I can do to help you, I absolutely need to do it.

Quest completed

______________

Past the Northern Gate

Here is the Key to the City. With this key you can also unlock the Northern Gate. Good luck now. If you manage to speak with my witch wife… Please tell her I still love her and would like nothing more than to have her come home again.

Objectives: Unlock the North Gate and speak with Alex.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride up to the Northern Gate and unlock it with the key. Then speak to Alex.

The gate is open now… Hurray! I can take the key and give it back to Klaus later. I have some things to take care of in Cape West anyways.

Quest completed

______________

Are There Witches Here?

Okay then. Ride in and see if you can find the witch. I agree with you that the witch and the Dark Rider probably have something awful in mind for Justin’s poor horse. She can definitely give us some information on where we might find Justin. Be careful! I’ll keep watching the gate for as long as I can. I’ll be here if you need help!

Objectives: Find the Mayor’s old house and his wife the witch.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride north down into the swamp and ride on the boardwalk to the back of the swamp to get to the witch’s house. Be careful to not fall into the swamp water.

Hahaha! Abracadabra! You think you can just walk in here and get me to tell you anything you want? You ARE funny! Now I think I’ll transform you and your silly horse to teach you a lesson!

Quest completed

Ride back to the gate to speak with Alex.

A Real Nasty Witch

You were turned into a frog? Oh my… Luck it wasn’t for very long.

So the Mayor’s wife is also the witch Pi and is not really that willing to help. And she has Justin’s horse in a big cage… Hmm… We need to think of something to do. Linda is pretty clever and isn’t too far away. Ride over to Linda at the Equestrian Center and ask her what she thinks we should do. I’ll keep watching the gate so nobody can sneak in and move Justin’s horse without us knowing about it.

Objectives: Speak with Lind at the Equestrian Center.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Meet up with Linda at the Winery stable and tell her what has happened.

Heya Rita! I have a lot on the go right now but if you say it is really important I will absolutely help out. That’s what friends are for.

Quest completed

______________

Winery Library

Okay. I understand. You need a way to get that witch Pi to talk to you. Poor Klaus having his wife turned into a witch. Hopefully we can find a way to bring back Pi so she turns into the nice woman she once was.

Well, I don’t have a solution in mind. I think we’ll actually have to do some research on this one. It is time to visit the Library. The Winery has a fantastic Library. I’ve spent many hours with my nose buried in those exciting books. Come on. Let’s go!

Objectives: Follow Linda to the Winery Library. Go in through the east entrance to the main building.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Walk with Linda to the Winery building, then dismount your horse to go inside the building. Meet Linda inside.

What do you think? Pretty amazing right? A really good library, full of the collected knowledge of hundreds of years. You can almost feel how much the books really want to push their knowledge into someone’s mind! So much to read… So little time…

Quest completed

______________

Find the Right Thing in the Right Book

The thing is we need to find the right book to find the answer to how to turn the witch back into her old, kind self… Or at least get her to talk to us and tell the truth. I’ll sit down here and start looking through the Witchopedia first. You can look through the library and maybe you can find some books about witches. If you find any, bring them here.

Objectives: Look around for all the books you can find on witches and bring them to Linda.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Go to the end of the west-most southern dock, and place the net there. Return to Mr Trout when you are done.

Thank you for your help Rita! You really need a lot of energy and patience to be a big fisherman like me, Mr K Trout. At first I thought you were a little minnow, but I’m beginning to think you have what it takes to be a big shark like me. Maybe you would be interested in joining us in the world’s best fishing club? We’ll see if you have what it takes to be a member of the Jorvik Fishing Club.

Quest completed

______________

Do You Want to Be a Big Fisherman?

I have a suggestion, Rita. Do you want to be a big fisherman like me? If you say yes then I will teach you how to catch fish and then later you can earn extra Jorvik Shillings by helping me fish. If you think you have what it takes then we can see about making you a member in the Jorvik Fishing Club. All the best fishermen are members there.

Every day I’ll need fish that are in demand. Fishing is the most fun thing ever. Do you want to be a big fisherman?

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 10 with Jorvik Fishing Club

Sure, why not?

Great Rita! I’ll teach you everything I know! You will need to prepare before you fish. First and foremost you definitely need a fishing rod. You can buy that from Mr Loop at the fishing store. If you like you can buy fishing clothes there too… But you don’t really need it to fish… It is just cool to have.

Why don’t you come back tomorrow when you have bought a fishing rod and I’ll let you test out fishing for a bit and we’ll see how it goes.

Quest completed

You can buy the fishing rod now, or wait until tomorrow, but you will need to buy one from Mr Loop to continue the quests.

______________

Gone with the Wind

So you are looking for the Mayor’s sea charts… Yes, that makes sense. We did take them when we stole the Key to the City. But when we hid in the Labyrinth Coast there came a strong wind that blew away the sea chart. I’ve seen that the winds are still playing with that chart. I have seen it still blowing round out there when were out smuggling. We haven’t had any luck catching it but maybe you will as you have a horse. It is on the small islands along the Labyrinth Coast. If you catch the charts of course you can do whatever you want with them.

Objectives: Ride to the Labyrinth Coast and catch the three sea charts that are blowing around in the wind. Return them to Klaus.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

We certainly can’t leave like this… Grrr… Now we have to stay here even longer…

Hunt for More Golden Leaves

In Goldenleaf Forest there is a special leaf that is fantastic for making our special prizes with. I have everything else we need but the leaves, so they are the last thing we need… But we need a LOT of them Collect twenty for me if you can.

The forest lies in the deepest valley between the mountain and the Golden Road. Most of the leaves can be found in the western part of the forest and will be lying on the ground or blowing around in the air.

You will have to chase some of the leaves in the manner you did for the sea charts. Collect twenty leaves, then return to Carin with them.

Thank you Rita. Those are fantastic leaves you have found. Now I’ll need to have a go at making those prizes. Come back later.

Quest completed

Return to Carin tomorrow.

There is a wayward traveler that needs our help. You can find her on the road east of Scarecrow Hill.

Can You Give Me a Ride?

Stop! Wait for me!

Whew! Thanks for stopping. I’m on my way to the fishing village to buy some new clothes… But it is just to far to walk. I’ve already walked all the way from the Baroness’s riding arena. Would you mind letting me ride on the back of your horse?

That would be really nice of you! That would save me walking the entire way. Why don’t you drop me off by the clothes store on the southern dock in Cape West Fishing Village?

Objectives: Give Emma a ride to the clothes store on the west south running dock in Cape West Fishing Village.

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

Emma is a very enthusiastic rider. She will surely enjoy the whole ride there.

Quest completed

Return to Emma tomorrow.

Let’s see if Jasper remembers where he left the tractor key.

The Forgotten Tractor Key

Haha! Now you get to hear about it Rita! When I left the farm about twenty years ago, I loaned my tractor key out to the lady who ran Goldenleaf Stables. You’ll need to ride over there and ask her if she still has the keys.

Objectives: Travel to Goldenleaf Stables on the island north of Cape West Fishing Village and speak with the lady in charge.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 30 with The Goldenleaves

‘Lady in charge’ = Carin

Hey! So Jasper is around again? It has been a long time since he was seen in this area… It might have been about twenty years…

Quest completed

______________

A Forgotten Loan Remembered

I was just a tiny kid the last time Jasper was around here but he must have some reason to think he loaned the key to his tractor to my poor mother who ran this place around that time. I have a key in the key cupboard that has little label on it that says “Jasper’s.” That has to be it.

Take this key to Jasper and thank him for lending it to us… Even if nobody remembers now it was nice of him.

Objectives: Take the key to Jasper in Eastglade.

Rewards: 100 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 30 with The Goldenleaves

Back to Jasper’s we go!

Aha, there you are. So it is her daughter Carin who runs the stables now? Things change with time. But now we have my key back, and that is what matters! Now you don’t have to ride that long trip so often if you don’t want to when I can drive you safely between here and there. If the tractor starts of course!

Quest completed

______________

Jasper’s Transport Service

Serviced, filled up, and ready. Now we are ready for the moment of truth! Will the tractor start? I think you have earned the honor of being the one to try it. Take my key and try to start the tractor. You can feel the excitement in the air!

Objectives: Use the key to try and start Jasper’s old tractor. Speak with Jasper after you try.

Rewards: 100 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Ho ho! That’s great! I now declare Jasper’s Transport Service reopened! After a twenty year break! Any time you want a ride between here and Goldenleaf Stables, I’ll be ready.

Quest completed

We have a new idea we should discuss with Ewa.

An Unexpected Proposal

It was a great idea to use the same course in the opposite direction. The course is ready for a test ride. Go ahead Rita!You should be the first to try it as you came up with the idea.

Objectives: Test out the Goldenleaf Stables race in the opposite direction.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 100 with The Goldenleaves

Ride the track, then speak with Ewa when you are finished.

Was it fun? Great then, I’ll open it up for everyone to ride in the other direction.

Quest completed

Carin has a task for you now.

Seahorse

Hey Rita! Do you see the beautiful horse over there? That horse needs to be taken to Herman in Jorvik Stables and I’d like to get your help with that. Captain Brus is going there on his next boat trip and he has promised to deliver the horse to Herman. But first we need to get the horse to his ship. Captain Brus is at Longbridge, so it isn’t exactly a long trip.

Keep close to the horse and lead the way for it and it shouldn’t be a problem. The horse you want to bring with you is the one over there by the wall, right beside the barn.

Objectives: Stay close and show the horse the way to Captain Brus.

Rewards: 45 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 40 with The Goldenleaves

Escort the horse to the other end of Longbridge. Speak with Captain Brus when you get there.

Arrr! Here comes a rider with the old horse that should be taken on the boat to Jorvik Stables. If I could only get out to sea then Herman would get to see his horse again tomorrow.

Quest completed

______________

Get the Sailors Together

Cough cough! Before I can get myself back out on the big blue sea I need the help of a brave rider like you. When you are ready to depart I’ll have a present for your horse…

My sailors seem to have started a mutiny. They have hidden in town and I can’t gather up these idiots. It’s trange, they used to be loyal and trustworthy but now they are acting like shady smugglers. See if you can find them and make them understand it is time to cast off. There are five of them and they are stumbling around the docks in the fishing village. Come back and let me know what’s happening later.

Objectives: Ride around the fishing village docks and looks for the five sailors. Find out if they are ready to go. Report back to Captain Brus.

Rewards: 65 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 35 with The Goldenleaves

Ride around and notify the five sailors that are walking along the lower level of the fishing village. When you have contacted all of the, return to Captain Brus.

Yarrr! You found all five sailors? And all said they were ready? That’s good, I knew I could count on them. But I need to talk to them and let them know they need to sharpen up and stop acting like cheap smugglers in the future. On my ship we do it right or not at all! Now we only have one more problem to solve…

Quest completed

______________

Pick Up More Cargo

Hrmmph! Before I weigh anchor and set sail towards Jorvik Stables, I need our cargo onboard. Everything was loaded and ready to go until the Mayor called and has something to add to the load. Speak with the Mayor to find out what he wants to bring and ask him to hurry up. The wind is just right and I don’t want to wait longer than I have to.

Objectives: Ask Mayor Klaus if he has anything he wants to ship.

Rewards: 45 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 25 with The Goldenleaves

Ride up to the village center and speak with the Mayor.

Hey Rita! It’s true, I do have an antique porcelain dinner service that I inherited that has been in my family for generations. It is so fragile and delicate, I haven’t dared to transport it to Captain Brus before.

Quest completed

______________

Breakable Package

Careful Rita, careful… The box you are holding contains a delicate set of china that has been in my family for generations. I’ve never used it so my sister should have it. I thought Captain Brus could sail it to her. I never felt I could trust anyone to ship it, which is why I haven’t sent it yet. You are a careful and skilled rider, Rita. Ride carefully with the box to Captain Brus. Please, please! Be VERY careful!

Objectives: Ride slowly and carefully to Captain Brus.

Rewards: 55 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 25 with The Goldenleaves

This task is like the one delivering eggs from Andy to Mrs Packard. Ride slowly to Captain Brus. Do not let the danger bar fill up. The faster you ride, the quicker it will fill. If it gets too full, slow down to a walk or stop completely, and it will drain.

Ahoy! That wasn’t quick at all Rita! A fragile dinner set? Now I understand why it took you so long. You had to ride much slower than normal.

There we go, down in the cargo room with it! -crash, shatter, tinkle!-

That ought to do it. Okay, now we are ready!

Quest completed

______________

Where is My First Mate?

Now I’m only missing my first mate… I’m beginning to be a bit unwilling to wait longer before casting off. The last time I saw him, he was up near the fishing village lighthouse. Who knows what he was doing there? Rita, ride your brave horse there and ask him to get back here quick so we don’t miss the wind… And so I don’t keelhaul him!

Objectives: Speak with the First Mate. He was last seen up near the lighthouse.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 25 with The Goldenleaves

‘Keelhaul’ is sailor-speak for ‘butt kick.’ The more you know!

Ride up the lighthouse to find the First Mate. You may have to chase him a bit around the lighthouse to get to speak with him.

Hello! Captain Brus is looking for me? Well, you see, there is a bit of a complication. We can’t leave at the moment because I misplaced both the navigation charts and my compass when I was up visiting the lighthouse. I think the wind might have blown them away, you understand.

Quest completed

______________

Compass Hunt

Well, the compass was attached to the chart when it blew out to sea. So the compass must have fallen down from the top of the lighthouse and landed there somewhere. I’ve looked everywhere down there but I haven’t found it. What did you say? It might have fallen farther down? Oh no… I hope it hasn’t broken.

Objectives: Look for the compass that fell down from the top of the lighthouse. Maybe it has landed farther out than where the First Mate is searching.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 25 with The Goldenleaves

Ride down to the lower level of the village and look on the beach that runs along the west side of the village. When you find the compass, return to the First Mate.

Thank you! You are my hero! And the compass is working too. It must have landed on something soft… Like the sand over there. Thank you so much!

Quest completed

______________

Missing Navigation Chart

Yes, the wind ripped the navigation charts right out of my hands and blew it out to sea. I don’t really know what to do about it. What? You think you can just ask the Mayor for a new one? That would be really kind of you if you could do that… I really don’t want to be keelhauled by the Captain…

Objectives: Ask Klaus if he can issue a new navigational chart.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 25 with The Goldenleaves

Ride down and speak with Mayor Klaus.

Hey Rita! Of course I can issue another navigational chart for you. You and Captain Brus and his staff are friends of the city so of course we’ll help him out.

Quest completed

______________

Sea Chart Thieves?

No… You know what Rita! My sea charts are gone! Who could have taken them? It might have vanished at the same time the key was stolen…

You have an idea as to who might have taken them, you say?

Objectives: Ask the smugglers in the smuggler’s cave if they have stolen the sea charts.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 25 with The Goldenleaves

Ride through Labyrinth Shore to the Smuggler’s Cave to speak with its occupants about the missing sea charts.

Conrad has finished making a key to the gate.

The Key is Ready

There Rita, the key is ready. We can’t be certain it will work as it isn’t exactly easy to make a copy of a key from picture. The key has brittle pieces that can break off or possibly ruin the lock permanently… But that is a risk we’ll have to take.

Do I know anything about Goldenhills Valley? Yes, I do and I’m happy to tell you about it.

Objectives: Speak with Conrad.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 35 with Keepers of Aideen

Conrad will tell you more about Goldenhills Valley.

Goldenhills Valley is a very special place. It isn’t just a myth that snow spirits and other dangerous creatures sneak around over there during the winters… That is why they lock the gate. For the last few years it has been relatively safe, but we have carefully guarded the area just to be sure.

In the eastern part of the valley, there is a cottage and a crop owned by Justin’s grandfather. That’s right, old Jasper that you met before.

Farther down in the western part of the valley you will find Cape West fishing village… There is a very nice barn there for your horse around there. I’ve never been there myself, but I’m sure you will find some nice friends to get into some new trouble with there.

Quest completed

______________

The Southern Gate

Okay then Rita! Time to start your trip to Goldenhills Valley and good luck. I hope you find the Mayor there and find out why the gate was never opened this year. Remember that we can’t be sure that the key will work. It looks good for about three tries… Come back here if it doesn’t work.

Try to be careful over there.

Objectives: Unlock the Southern Gate that is directly north of the Baroness’s riding arena.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 70 XP

Reputation: 75 with The Goldenleaves

Ride to the gate and use the key. It will take a couple of tries to get the gate open.

“The key broke! But the lock opened! The gate is open and Goldenhills Valley lies open before you…”

Quest completed

Now with the gate open, let’s go see what Jasper has been up to on his pumpkin farm.

The Pacifist Pumpkin Grower

Rita! Welcome to Eastglade’s pumpkin farm! Finally we get to see you again. I can’t thank you enough for freeing me from all the hate and bitterness I carried around with me for twenty years! Completely without reason, it turns out. But now I finally get a chance to be happy! I can finally pursue my biggest dream; to grow pumpkins! But I bet you are wondering what I am doing here in Goldenhills Valley?

Objectives: Speak with Jasper.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with The Goldenleaves

Jasper will tell you more about his life on the pumpkin farm.

You see, Rita, since you freed me from my hate I no longer needed to stand and guard my fence anymore against my neighbor. Completely thanks to you!

So, this is my pumpkin farm, that is unfortunately a bit run-down and neglected… As I haven’t really been here for about twenty years. Now that I am finally here again it is time to clean it up and start growing the best and tastiest pumpkins in Jorvik!

Quest completed

______________

Things to Do at the Pumpkin Farm

There are a lot of exciting things to get started on here at my far. If you have time, of course. Of course if you help me then I’ll have some extra time… And then I can set up transporters in the area for you and your horse. Back and forth from the fishing village, for example. What needs to be done isn’t just work… It has a bit of fun in it too! I have some exciting riding trails that need to be set up and tested. I’ll also pay you a bit more than they normally pay for farm work too. What do you say?

Objectives: Speak with Jasper.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

Jasper will be happy to have your help.

That’s great that you will help out a little here! I’m so happy!

Quest completed

______________

Broken Sprinklers

Darn it! The sprinkler system isn’t working. I strongly suspect it is because there are so many holes in the hoses as they have been unused for so many years. With so any holes no water is making it to the actual sprinklers.

Take this waterproofing tape and fix the hoses and we’ll see if that gets the sprinklers going.

Objectives: Use the tape to fix the holes in the hoses in the pumpkin field.

Rewards: 65 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

Wouldn’t it just be easier to get new hoses?

When you are done taping up the hose, return to Jasper.

That certainly did the trick! Now the sprinklers are working great! Well done Rita!

Quest completed

______________

Check the Horse Jumps

The riding track around my pumpkin farm has fallen apart during the years I have been away. Can you have a look and see which fences are dangerous and need to be repaired or replaced? I’ve marked them on your map so you can find them easier. Come back to me and let me know how it looks.

Objectives: Inspect the horse jumps and report back to Jasper. The locations of the jumps are marked on your map.

Rewards: 65 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

To inspect the jumps, all you have to do is approach them. Once you have inspected all four jumps, return to Jasper.

Aha… So all of the horse jumps are broken? Understandable after this amount of time. I built those fences over twenty years ago thinking that Justin would get to learn to jump here. It didn’t turn out that way… But now the riding trail can start to be used again by you and your friends…

Quest completed

______________

Ghost Dust

As I’m sure you know, we use pumpkins for the big annual Halloween festival. People carve scary and fun faces into the pumpkins, put lights in them, and have them as decorations. According to tradition, the pumpkins keep evil spirits away from your home.

I have found a way to make them more… How should I put it… Ghost-like? As the pumpkins are growing, I fertilize them with ghost dust!

Ghost dust is left behind in the glittering trails the snow spirits leave as they pass through here in the winter. Ghost dust is spread all over the grasslands here in Goldenhills Valley, so it’s pretty easy to find.

Find a bunch of ghost dust and spread it over the pumpkins. Come back to me when you are done.

Objectives: Look for small piles of ghost dust in the grasslands around Jasper’s pumpkin farm. When you have found four piles, use them on the pumpkins in the pumpkin field, then return to Jasper.

Rewards: 65 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

The ghost dust can be found in the gully across the road from the farm, as well as up on the hill to the north of the farm.

Collect four piles of it, put it on the marked pumpkins in the field, then return to Jasper.

Ho ho! That’s great! That should do the trick. We won’t get to enjoy the results for a long, long time… Pumpkins take a long time to grow.

Quest completed

______________

The Riding Woodsman

Aha, the old jumps should be repairable, but we will be needing more wood. Maybe you have seen the four old trees that have died around the house? Take my saw that is on the porch steps and cut down the four dead trees. Then you can pull them back here with your strong horse.

Objectives: Take Jasper’s saw that is on the porch steps. Use the saw to cut down the four dead trees around the house. Bring the logs back to Jasper.

Rewards: 65 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 15 with The Goldenleaves

You have to be dismounted to use the saw. Once the tree is felled, click on it to pick up the log, and it will be placed on the back of your horse. When you have collected the logs from the four trees, return to Jasper.

Not bad! You and your horse are really quite strong. Maybe you should be a lumberjack?

Quest completed

______________

Fix the Old Horse Jumps

Take the logs and fix up the old horse jumps. With a bit of work they should be usable again.

Objectives: Repair the four broken horse jumps using the four old logs.

Rewards: 65 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 15 with The Goldenleaves

Take the logs to each of the jumps to repair them. Once all of the jumps are repaired, return to Jasper.

Great, Rita. Now the jumps aren’t dangerous anymore and they should work fine. Maybe it is time for a test run?

Quest completed

______________

Test Jasper’s Old Riding Trail

I built it for Justin, at that time I still hoped I would get to be a real grandfather. Oh well, now you and your friends can get some use out of it instead. Justin just vanished like the wind… I really wonder where he is…

Try out my old riding trail and see how well it goes with the new jumps.

Objectives: Test Jasper’s old riding trail.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 40 with The Goldenleaves

Run the race. When you are done, speak with Jasper.

That looked pretty exciting, I have to say. You are really quite a good rider. Maybe this track is a bit to easy and short for someone like you… But I think it probably has potential!

Quest completed

______________

Pumpkin Cleaning

While you were testing the riding trail, I was having a look over at my pumpkin field. I saw that some of my pumpkins have gone bad… Gotten old. Can you help me get rid of the bad pumpkins?

I can see at least six of them that need to go. After we get rid of the bad ones, I think we can try and fix up my old horse transporter.

Objectives: Clear away the bad pumpkins from Jasper’s pumpkinfield.

Rewards: 65 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with The Goldenleaves

You’ve been a very, very bad pumpkin. Shame on you…

Go into the field and click to remove the pumpkins gone bad. When you are done, return to Jasper.

Thank you. Sometimes a few of the pumpkins go bad… And then it is best best to get rid of them to leave room for the ones that are growing well.

Quest completed

______________

Where are the Wolves?

There are things happening here Rita! I have found out that there is a pack of wolves that are aggressive with people in the area north of Eastglade. The wolves are normally not dangerous to people, but if there is a pack of them, you can be sure they will be a little more brave and perhaps scare people away if people intrude on their territory.

Can you ride up to Shadowy Hills just northwest of here? You only need to follow the road north towards the Norther Gate.

See if you can find any wolves and report back your findings to me please.

Objectives: Ride around in Shadowy Hills, just northwest of Eastglade, and search for a pack of wolves. Report back to Jasper.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

Ride the road north until you find the wolves. When you do, return to Jasper.

You found a pack of wolves there? Well… That isn’t so good.

Quest completed

______________

Serious Warning!

Okay then… This is what we are going to do. We’ll start off by warning the other riders so they won’t be frightened if they meet the wolf pack out riding. I understand they have only put up a couple warning signs… Which really isn’t enough. We need to do better. Here, take these four signs and put them up on the places I will mark on your map. These are some really good signs! Come back and check in with me when you are done.

Objectives: Put the signs on the places marked on your map. Speak with Jasper when you are finished.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

Ride back up by the wolves and place the four signs. Then return to Jasper.

Okay then… We’ve done everything we can to warn people on the road about the wolves.

Quest completed

______________

Dog or Wolf, Does it Matter?

The wolves would certainly stop threatening people if there was something to make them happy somewhere else. Aha, I think Linn in the riding arena has dog treats that she uses training her dog, Techno. Sure, why not? I’m sure that dog treats will be just as good for wolves. You should go and see if she has dog treats to lure away the wolves.

Objectives: Ride over to the riding arena and ask Linn about dog treats.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

To the riding arena we go!

Hey Rita! Have you beaten the record at the jumping course yet? Maybe it is time for you to try again?

You wanted to ask me about dog treats?

Quest completed

______________

Hungry As a Wolf

I have lots of dog treats! People give Techno so many treats that I have to take most of them away so that he doesn’t get a stomach ache! Here is a big bag that should definitely be enough for a whole pack of wolves.

Give one to a wolf that doesn’t seem too angry and see how it reacts, I think it will probably work quite well. If not we can hope that Summerblaze can ride away quickly…

Objectives: Give a dog treat to a wolf in Shadowy Hills.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

Ride back up to Shadowy Hill, and give a treat to the wolf standing on the road.

Grrrrr… Hmmmmm…. Growl… Hrmm?? … Yum!

______________

Anyone Afraid of the Wolf?

Grrr… Rawr… Grrrrrr!

Objectives: Tell Jasper that the wolves are happier.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

They were just like hungry puppies! More or less…

Ho ho! That was brave and well done, Rita. So the wolves seemed a little less dangerous after it was fed?

Quest completed

Return to Jasper tomorrow.

The Mystery of the Southern Iron Gate

You wonder why the gate stayed locked, even after the winter was over? I also wondered that myself. I’ve seen all the riders gathered outside the gate who wanted to ride into Goldenhills Valley. There were also a lot of transports that had to turn back. What a mess that was.

But I know who you should ask about it… And that would be Mayor Klaus in Cape West Fishing Village. Klaus is responsible for the Key to the City that opens the gate. You’ll find your way to him by riding as far west as possible. Follow the Golden Road, but don’t ride into Goldenleaf Forest. It is tough to find a way out of the west end of the forest.

Objectives: Follow the Golden Road west to Cape West Fishing Village and find Mayor Klaus.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 60 XP

Reputation: 50 with The Goldenleaves

Following the road into the village, cross the big bridge and go straight up the stairs into the center of the village. You will find Klaus standing there.

Good day rider! You look like you have ridden a long way! If you need a stall for your horse, you’ll need to go to Goldenleaf Stables. It is on the little island north of town. Just follow the bridge out to the north.

Oh? You came from Silverglade? That must have been terrible. I bet people over there have wondered why the gate has been closed. Unfortunately there is an easy explanation… Let me tell you about it.

Quest completed

______________

Klaus’s Explanation

So this is what happened. In the winter I always store the Key to the City in an iron-bound chest that I keep under my bed. As you know we keep the gate locked n the wintertime to keep the winter spirits out of Silverglade so they don’t scare anyone down there. They are actually quite dangerous and frightening. Every spring we unlock the gate again… But this year… The key was GONE!

Objectives: Speak with Mayor Klaus.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

Klaus will tell you more about what happened.

One day I suddenly noticed that the chest was missing, and had been stolen! The only clue I could find was shoe prints the thief left behind in their hurry. The really strange thing about it was there were only shoe prints from a left shoe. No right foot prints at all! Very strange.

Quest completed

______________

Along the Missing Tracks

We found the same footprint from a left shoe along the beach south of the bridge to the mainland. We tried to follow the prints to look for more clues in the Labyrinth Shore but we didn’t find any and the prints ended at the edge of the sand. It is easy to get lost there just so you know, so it is possible we missed something.

If you can, it would be great if you could have a look and see if you find anything… But I’m worried it is pointless.

Objectives: Look for the clues along the southern beach and in the Labyrinth Shore, right beside the bridge to the mainland. If you find anything, tell Mayor Klaus.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 25 with The Goldenleaves

Take the bridge out of the village, and turn to the right to go down onto the beach. The footprints are down on that beach. Follow them along the beach and into the trail through the water. When you have found a clue, return to Mayor Klaus.

But really? That’s not bad! That is my chest… But it has been emptied… And of course the Key to the City is gone.

Quest completed

______________

Even Farther Away

But this shows that the thief may have gone farther away than the Labyrinth Shore. Maybe you should look farther down the beach to see if you can find any other clues.

Objectives: Continue looking along the coast for more clues.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

Return to where you found the chest, then continue on the water trail through Labyrinth Shore, until you reach the cave under Scarecrow Hill.

Ho ho! Even more surprises! What is this now? A little land crab in our secret cave!

Hrmm… What should we do with you? We can’t just let you go… As this is our secret smuggling cave and we don’t really want anyone else to find it. While we are quite obviously criminals… We aren’t the kind that kidnaps people, as a general rule…

Objectives: Speak with the master smuggler.

Find a way to talk yourself out of this one…

Well, it was the idea to steal the key so we could make more money smuggling things through the gate during the winter… When the gate is normally closed. We did make quite a bit of money using that secret route in the winter. It was wrong of us to take the key though… And it is only right the key should be given back to the rightful owner.

Ask the Local Stables?

Is there a stables here on the coast? Of course there is. I’m sure you have noticed that Jorvik is full of stables and we are not so uncivilized as to not have one of our own. Everyone on Jorvik loves horses… And our stables are the best in Goldenhills Valley. Maybe the others are just as nice, but we are just so proud of our Goldenleaf Stables!

If you ride up to the north, you’ll find the long bridge that we call Longbridge. If you ride over the bridge, you’ll come to Goldenleaf Stables. Don’t forget to say hello from me to the owner. Her name is Carin.

Objectives: Ride north and cross over the long bridge to get to Goldenleaf Stables.

Carin will tell you more about the history of the area.

Goldenleaf Stables is a very, very old stables that was founded a long time ago and used to breed and raise warhorses for the old Jorvik Navy. It is hard to believe but Cape West Fishing Village used to be a powerful fort that guarded the route and protected trade ships from pirates and other enemies.

Things are a little different nowadays. We are a lot more peaceful and love to have visitors and host travelers. We haven’t had many visitors this spring after the long winter so all news of the world outside is very welcome…

It is good to know that our stables and the famous Jorvik stables farther south are the farthest west stables on Jorvik.
