A New Era Has Begun

Once again, thank you for helping me out of the castle. Unfortunately I have a lot to do now that I’ve been away for so long. But as you know, there’s always a lot to do around here. You’ll notice that small adventures pop up all the time so we’ll meet later and do something.

Do you want to hear something exciting?

Objectives: Talk to Linda, she can tell you all about exciting things to do! You can find her at the winery.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 30 with Keepers of Aideen

Well, if you put it that way…

Also, Linda is still at the castle with you. Never mind the part about finding her at the Winery.

I’ve heard that one of Carney’s brothers started building a new show jumping track outside Silverglade Village, you should ride over there and have a look! I would love to join you but I don’t have time. The track is on the field to the west of the village, between the vineyard and Silverglade Village.

Look, I got a text message from Thomas Moorland. He wants to talk to you. Have a lovely day, Rita! See you later.

Trouble at James’s

Hi Rita! What an adventure you’ve had! It’s great that some things seem to be in order, but I can sense that new problems are approaching. I don’t have any news about my son Justin yet, and we’re still looking for him. So far we have no clues but we aren’t giving up hope.

By the way, I heard that James has trouble with some lost tourists at Fort Pinta. Can you please ride to James and see if he needs any help? Thanks for everything and have a nice day, Rita!

Objectives: Talk to James at Fort Pinta.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 25 with Fort Pinta

Ride to Fort Pinta and see what James has trouble with.

Oh, hi! It’s nice to see you again. I’m having a hard time right now… You know, I run this stable and hire out horses for tourists but now three tourists have disappeared!

Quest completed

After this point, you will no longer get the orange hints on your map as to where you have to go with your quests. You will have to pay more attention to the clues given by the quests as everything won’t be so obvious.

Hunt for Tourists

This is what happened… Three tourists hired horses from me and went out for a ride, but they haven’t returned. They’re not very experienced riders so I gave them my most sweet-natured horses, but I’m worried that something has happened or that they have gotten lost.

They should’ve taken the trail past Doyle’s Abbey straight to the north and then continued northeast to Silverglade Castle via Steve’s farm. Please, start looking at Doyle’s Abbey.

Objectives: Search for the tourists, start looking at Doyle’s Abbey.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 45 with Fort Pinta

The first tourist can be found immediately off the road, behind Doyle’s Abbey, before you get to the cross-roads.

Guten tag young miss! My name is Gunther! Yes, I’m one of the tourists that hired horses at Fort Pinta. Where is my horse and the others, you ask? You could say I’m also wondering about that…

______________

The Horse That Ran Away

We were out riding and had a nice trip until my horse suddenly spotted a huge bumblebee and went completely nuts! He ran off with me barely hanging on around his neck and apparently my family couldn’t keep up with me.

Suddenly the horse stopped, I fell off and the horse ran away. Can you help me find it and bring it back to me so I can ride to Fort Pinta?

I’m sure that the horse is nearby. I thought I heard it neighing around the eastern side of the abbey ruins.

Objectives: Find the horse that Gunther lost around Doyle’s Abbey and bring it back to him.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 45 with Fort Pinta

The horse is inside the Abbey wall, all the way on the other side of the ruins, towards Jarl’s Tomb.

Pat the horse and lead/follow it back to Gunther.

Splendid! There’s the nice little horse. Thank you for your help, now I can ride back to Fort Pinta by myself.

Quest completed

______________

One Saved, Two Remain

My wife and daughter, Helga and Gretchen, must’ve thought that I could take care of myself and continued the ride without me. Go to Steve’s farm and to the castle to see if you can find them. I’ll return to Fort Pinta and tell James what’s happened so he doesn’t have to worry. You are more capable of riding around and looking for them than I am so I think this is the best solution.

Objectives: Look for the other tourists at Steve’s farm.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 45 with Fort Pinta

The other two tourists can be found on the edge of the field behind the barn at Steve’s farm.

Hello, my name is Helga! You’re out looking for us? And you have found Gunther too, that’s good! We could really use some help. My daughter Gretchen’s horse is stuck in a hold in the ground and we can’t get him out.

Quest completed

______________

Borrow a Shovel

The horse stepped into one of these deep holes and can’t get loose. I wonder where all those dangerous holes come from… They’re bad for the horses, they are.

Oh, you know Steve who has the farm over there? Do you think you can borrow a shove from him? That’s wonderful. Borrow the shovel so we can free the horse.

Objectives: Borrow a shovel from Steve. His farm is to the east of Silverglade Village, close to the field.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 45 with Fort Pinta.

Ask Steve for a shovel, he’s sure to oblige.

Oh, you want to borrow a shovel? It’s bad news that there are holes in the ground that can be dangerous for both people and animals.

Quest completed

______________

Dig a Hole

Take this shovel and help the poor tourists, but be careful so you don’t harm the horse! Bring back the shovel when you’re done and tell me what happened.

Objectives: Use Steve’s shovel and dig a hole so the tourists’ horse can get loose. It’s on the field close to Steve’s farm.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 65 XP

Reputation: 55 with Fort Pinta

Oh, Steve. Always concerned about the animals.

Go up into the field to free the horse. You have to be dismounted to use the shovel.

Well done! Thanks for your help. Now we can return to Fort Pinta.

Quest completed

______________

Return the Shovel to Steve

Thanks for helping us. While you return the shovel to Steve we’ll ride back to Fort Pinta and retunite with Gunther. Maybe we’ll see you there later? We’ll tell James how kind you’ve been to us.

Objectives: Return to Steve’s farm, give Steve the shovel and tell him what happened.

Rewards: 13 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 65 with Fort Pinta

Update Steve about the holes after you return his shovel.

Thanks for helping them! What a relief that the horse wasn’t hurt, it could have ended really badly.

______________

On Field Scouting

So you’re telling me that these holes are everywhere? They’ll destroy my crops and they’re dangerous for the horses. Imagine what would happen if more horses get stuck? Maybe we won’t be so lucky next time…

Someone or something must have dug those holes and they’re too large to be made by mice…

Can you scout the area for a while and see if you can find anything suspicious? You can sit by the feeding station next to the holes. Report back to me if you see anything.

Objectives: Search for the origin of the holes in the field close to Steve’s farm. Sit by the feeding site close to the holes.

Rewards: 17 Jorvik Shillings, 65 XP

Reputation: 45 with Silverglade Village

Scout by the feedbox. Now you’re like a regular spy…

Nothing? Nothing at all? Oh no… You think you’re too visible out in the open and that whatever is making these holes will stay hidden as long as you’re there? Maybe you’re right. Let’s think about how you can watch the field without being seen.

Quest completed

______________

Can I Borrow Your Telescope?

I know! Ride up to Mario at the observatory and ask him if you can use the large telescope! With that you can watch the field without anyone knowing you’re there.

The observatory is in the mountains north of Hollow Woods. It’s easiest to ride along the north side of the forest and follow the road which starts there.

Objectives: Ride up to the observatory, it’s in the mountains to the north. There is a path north of Hollow Woods that will lead you there. Talk to Mario about borrowing the telescope.

Rewards: 12 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 55 with Silverglade Village

This trail connects to the road leading to Valedale. Follow the road past the windmill north, and the trail starts at the big curve in the road right before Valedale. It’s off the left hand side (riding towards Valedale) and can be a little hard to see.

Hello, yes, I’m Mario. You said your name was Rita? What a cute name. What a fantastic horse you have! Brave of you to ride up the difficult path. Welcome to the Archeological and Astronomical Society of Jorvik Observatory. The observatory has a giant telescope we use to look at the stars.

Quest completed

Return to Mario tomorrow to continue this story line.

Collect Fallen Stars

Hm. I’m very busy here, as you can see. Important things are happening in the sky. But maybe you can help me? Yesterday night I saw that some beautiful shootings stars and fragments of stardust landed close to the observatory. I can’t get to them in this difficult terrain, but you have a horse and you’re such a good rider so I know that you’ll be able to find them

Can you please collect six star stones for me? I think you can find fragments all round the mountain on which the observatory stands.

Objectives: Find six star stones in the mountains around the observatory and give them to Mario.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 30 with Silverglade Village

The star stones can be found on the ground across the bridge and down the hill from the bridge. They’re small but send up little puffs of star dust that can help you find them in the grass.

Return to Mario when you have found six of them.

Look at them! Exciting! Can you believe they come from outer space and you’re the first human to touch them? It’s breathtaking. I’ll examine them later.

Snowed in Once Too Often

Hello Rita. Mon Dieu, the winters are terrible! Every year I get snowed in here and I sit in the observatory for months without seeing a single other living thing. Well… maybe a lemming or two but that isn’t really the same thing. Sigh… The whole route up here gets covered in snow and ice and avalanches fall almost every day. It is a life threatening trip to get up and down this mountain. Enough! I’m not doing this anymore!

I’ve written to the council in Silverglade to see if they can do anything about this. Yesterday I actually got an answer and the Councilman in Silverglade wants to speak with me. Can you ride down and see what he has to say? Just imagine if he has a solution to this problem!

Au Revoir Rita! Come see me when you find out what he has to say.

Objectives: Ride down to the Councilman in Silverglade and speak with him about Mario.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Ride back down the trail, back to Silverglade and speak with the Councilman.

Good day! Yes, I have been working hard on finding a solution to Mario’s problem. Both on finding a solution and finding a way around the paperwork problems with it. It hasn’t been easy!

I wrote to Mario to let him know that the boss of the construction company we hired to solve the problem is now here in Silverglade. He is waiting in the town square for Mario to come and show him the observatory.

Now that you are here maybe you can help him instead? Go and speak with him Rita, he is standing by the fountain in the town square.

Quest completed

Speak with Buildmaster Olaf, who is standing in front of the fountain, facing the north gate to the village.

Meet the Head of the Construction Company

Are you Mario? Nah… of course you are not. You are Rita. Nice to meet you! I am master-builder Olaf. Such a nice village here… It must be terrible to leave here to go to work. But such is life!

The first thing we need to do is inspect the site to see what we need to do… should we build a tunnel… or a new road… we need to look for the best solution. Take this camera and ride up to North Link where they are digging a tunnel. Find a place to take some pictures where we can see the observatory clearly. While you take some pictures I’ll get a ride up there. We’ll look at your pictures up there and talk about it. I’ll meet you at North Link later.

Objectives: Ride up to North Link and find a good pace to take pictures of the observatory. Take some pictures of the observatory and speak with Olaf again later at North Link.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15  XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

You can reach North Link by following the West Jorvik Highway north all the way up to the construction site. It is on the east side of the road.

Once you take the pictures, Olaf can be found on the little side road going off to the west of the main road, by the Baroness’ racing track.

There you are! Now we’ll have a look. Nice pictures!

Quest completed

______________

Foundation for Foundations

I see. Now that I’ve had a chance to think about it I think I know what to do. The mountain is too steep to build and a tunnel would be very expensive. The best choice, in my opinion and I am an engineer so I am right, would be to build a new gondola lift! If we are lucky we can use the foundations from the old line to build a new one. There must be more locations than we see in your pictures. Look for all the old foundations and place GPS locators on them. Once you have put out the GPS locators I can see them on my device here. When I can see the locations we can tell if we can use them or not.

Objectives: Find the old foundations for the old gondola lift and place GPS locators there. Ride back to master builder Olaf when you are done.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

The first foundation is across the road. The others are behind the first, north up towards the observatory. There are five of them in total.

Great. Now we’ll check my machine here…

Quest completed

______________

Fire in the Hole!

Hrmmm… The old foundations are no good to us to use. They’re too badly built and too damaged to be safe. We need to build new foundations but first we need to get rid of the old ones.

Have you used dynamite before? No? Really? It isn’t hard. Just read this brochure…

“Instructions for Dynamite Use

1. Place the dynamite on what you want to get rid of.

2. Light the dynamite.

3. RUN!!!”

There… now you know as much about dynamite as I do. Blast away all the old broken foundations and we will build new ones. Good luck and be careful!

Objectives: Dynamite away all the old foundations. Speak with Buildmaster Olaf when you are done.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Once you light the dynamite, you’ll have about ten seconds to run like hell. You’ll be safe by the next foundation.

And do not blow yourself up. If you do, you will have to restart the game, as the quest doesn’t reset correctly when you start it over.

Boom boom boom! What a fantastic bunch of explosions! They must have heard that all the way in Firgrove.

______________

Used is Best

I planned, thought some more, then planned some more while you were gone. We need a gondola lift to put up, so I searched and found one from the Alps that we are thinking of buying. It is solid and complete and best of all, cheap!

I’ve written up a purchase order letter. Please ride over to Derek at the post office and ask him to send it.

Objectives: Ask Derek in the Silverglade post office to mail the order for the Gondola Lift.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

The post office is in the main square next to the town hall.

Hiya Rita. A letter to the Alps? You are lucky, I was just going to send out all the international mail with the helicopter. Come back tomorrow and maybe you’ll have your answer. These things usually go quickly.

Quest completed

Return to Derek tomorrow.

The next person that needs help is Marley. He is on the road between Silverglade Village and the Winery.

A Permission for Marley

Hello! I’m Marley. I’m so happy that someone came by. You see, I have some problems but maybe you can help me? So here’s the thing, I ordered this fantastic paddock at J-Buy.com, isn’t it amazing? Anyway, it seems that you need all kinds of papers, documents and permissions when you build something like this, who would’ve known? So, I wonder if you can ride to Silverglade Village and talk to someone in the council and ask them to write the papers I need. Without them I don’t dare continue building this wonderful track I have planned.

Objectives: Ride to the council in Silverglade Village and get the documents so Marley can use his paddock.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Village

Speak with the Councilman in Silverglade about the documents.

A new paddock. Not my area of expertise, sorry, you need to see my colleague Mr Bucket. But unfortunately he isn’t here right now.

Quest completed

______________

Looking for Mr Bucket

If you really need this document right now I think it’s best if you try to meet Mr Bucket at once. He’s been away for a couple of days now, trying to find evidence that the construction workers at the North Link are using illegal means to build the tunnel.

Ride to the tunnel construction site at the North Link, north of the Everwind fields, if you want tofind him. I’m sure he stands on top of a hill so he can see what’s going on. Follow the road going north from the village.

Objectives: Ride to the construction site outside the North Link, north of the Everwind fields, and find Mr Bucket. Follow the road to the north.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Village

Mr Bucket stands on top of the hill at the north end of the West Jorvik Highway. The hill is east of the road and right next to the entrance to the construction site.

Shhhh, try to be quiet…

Quest completed

______________

GED – o – Gel

Permission to build a paddock. Yes well, that’s not very important right now! I suspect that the workers down there are using GED – o – Gel, a very hazardous industrial adhesive, to seal the walls of the tunnel.

I have an idea. If you can find proof that I’m right I’ll give you those documents right away. Away you go! Look among the containers below the hill, I think they’re hiding the packaging there.

Objectives: Find proof that the construction workers are using GED – o – Gel for the tunnel. Search among the containers.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Village

Go down to the construction site and search in the big shipping containers for proof.

Return to Mr Bucket when you have found it.

I knew it! Those insidious crooks are using prohibited substances to be able to build faster. If it leaks out into the nature it can pollute everything around here for hundreds of years. But I’ll teach them a lesson, you’ll see. This will delay their construction by a day or two before their army of lawyers find new loopholes in the contract.

Quest completed

______________

The Paddock is Ready

Ok, here are the documents you needed. I wrote them while you were away. Good job by the way, if I didn’t mention it earlier.

Ride carefully on your way back to Marley.

Objectives: Return to Marley with the documents. Marley is at the new paddock outside Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Marley will be glad with these documents.

Really, Rita? That was fast! Thanks a lot, but I have more problems… I have to think this over, come back later so we can talk some more.

Paddock Control

Hi Rita, you’ll never believe me when I tell you this. You need a permission if you want to arrange competitions. Can you help me with this?

Ride to the Vineyard and see if you can find my brother Carney. He’s a licensed equestrian competition inspector and can help me with this. Ask him to come over right away and approve my paddock.

Objectives: Ride to the vineyard and talk to Carney.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Village

Carney is still up at the Winery by the stables.

Oh, yeah, I’m a licensed equestrian competition inspector. Marley said that I should go over to him and approve his paddock? Hmph! You don’t talk like that to your older brother. I’ll come when I have time, right now I have to do some very important things!

Quest completed

Return to Marley tomorrow.

Donald the tailor would like to speak with you. Go see him in Silverglade Village.

Do You Want a Nice Riding Jacket?

All the Colors of the Rainbow

To be able to make this vest I need dye for the wool. I need blue, pink, red, green and purple. I’ve heard about some special flowers growing in Valedale, they contain a lot of pink pigment with a unique luster. You can ask Elizabeth in Valedale Village if she can help you.
