Speak to Alex and the other Soul Riders outside the stable at Silverglade Winery.

Be Vigilant: Watch and Wait

alex

Nothing beats a little rest…

I’ve spoken to the druids and they have a new set of directives for us.

Ready to get stuck in again?

Hope you’re as excited as I am…

Objectives: Listen to Alex.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Alex will explain her plan to continue to watch Dark Core.

alex

Right then, my friends.

What we need to do is be vigilant: watch and wait.

Of course we’re missing our friend Anne, but Fripp and the druids are currently working out a safe way of traveling to Pandoria to look for her.

Until then, there’s nothing we can do for her.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

lisa

It feels terrible to just sit and wait. It’s unbearable to know that our friend is there and we’re here doing nothing.

I know how horrendous it is there.

Believe me when I say that every second you’re there feels like a nightmare a hundred times worse than death.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

linda

I know, Lisa. I know.

But it’s just like Alex and the druids say. We can’t do anything now.

We wait and see if the druids come up with a safe way…

They must be able to!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

lisa

But if it takes too long…?

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

linda

…Then we take matters into our own hands.

Count on it.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

alex

Agreed. Anyway, now it’s time to plan and prepare while the enemy forges their dark plans.

When they strike, we need to be prepared. Strike faster, strike harder.

We want to know if Dark Core and the Dark Riders are up to something awfully suspect.

The very worst thing that could happen would be if they started the Dark Ceremony to open the cracks between Pandoria’s unreality and our reality.

That would mean that the flow between the two worlds would run completely out of control and both worlds would collapse.

Or worse…

We’ve got no idea when or where they’re going to strike. We’re not ever sure exactly how either, but Fripp and the druids are trying to work it all out.

If we get more information from the druids, we might have some new tasks to complete, but until then, we need to stay vigilant, keep watching and waiting.

Raise the alarm and take action if something unexpected occurs.

I did a little surveillance last night and found a number of suitable locations for observation.

I’ve informed the Spymaster of the newly developing situation. He and his agents, the chipmunks, and whatever else he’s got working for him are all on high alert and will let us know if they notice anything of interest.

Linda, I thought you could perhaps be our liaison and base yourself out of the library where you provide the druids with your analysis of the scriptures.

We’ll report to you Linda, and the best place for you right now is studying those texts and helping the druids to interpret them.

Okay?

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

linda

Yes, Alex.

I’ll keep my head in the books and be ready to receive your reports as well as keeping an eye on your observation schedules. You’ll always know where I am.

See you in the Winery’s library whenever you need me.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

lisa

Me, Rita, and you Alex… We’re out in the field, right?

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

alex

Correct, Lisa.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

lisa

Brilliant.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

alex

Good. Then it looks like we’re ready to get started.

I’ve got the map right here with all the observation spots marked out. I think Observation Station #42 will be perfect for you Rita.

It’s a great lookout spot towards the sea, and you can get a closer look at Dark Core HQ.

You’ll definitely see if someone’s on their way towards us from Dark Core…

Quest completed

______________

Binoculars Fit for Purpose

alex

Aha. You don’t have any binoculars?

You’ll definitely need a pair if you’re going to be able to keep watch properly. You can borrow mine if you like? I’ve got plenty in stocky, haha.

Objectives: Do you need some binoculars?

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP, Alex’s Binoculars

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Tell Alex, you are in fact, needing binoculars.

alex

Here, you can borrow these for as long as you need them.

You can use them more than once.

Quest completed

______________

Observation Station #42

alex

You can see on the map where you should be going. It’s a nice place at the southwestern corner of Paddock Island. You know, south of Jarlaheim in the Harvest Counties.

Objectives: Ride out to Observation Station #42 and take a look through the binoculars.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

The observation spot is located near a bush behind the upper paddock on Paddock Island, facing towards the ocean.

Use the binoculars and take a peek at what’s going on at Dark Core.

self

Uneventful day… I’ll come back tomorrow.

But, wait…

Who’s howling like that?!

Sounds like somebody’s screaming for help…?

Quest completed

Return to Observation Station tomorrow.

In the meantime, let’s go down the hill and see who needs help.

Help! Help! Help!

sonja

Help! Oh gosh, there you are Rita! My friend!

It’s me, Sonja!

Objectives: Ask Sonja what happened.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

What are you doing down here crying, silly girl?

sonja

How lovely to see you!

Sniffle…

You’ve got no idea…

Ow, ow, ow! I’ve got such a headache! Well, it aches all over actually! Sniffle.

Let me tell you about it.

Quest completed

______________

Sonja’s Unhappy Hardship

sonja

Sniffle…

My head hurts so much… Sniffle…

I was out on a long ride with my horse around all the beautiful countryside and galloped past one of the runestones… You know, the ones that are all over the place around here.

You know the ones…

This particular runestone just suddenly making weird noises and lighting up pink… My poor horse went crazy and just ran away! I wasn’t ready for it and ended up landing on my head.

Sniffle…

Objectives: Talk to Sonja.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

That’s what you get for not wearing a helmeeeeeet!

sonja

Where my horse and my helmet are? Where my horse is right now, I’ve got no idea. I guess I was just too lazy to put my helmet on before I came out. I learned my lesson now though… I’ll never ride without a helmet again.

Sniffle…

Now I’m feeling really dizzy and everything hurts!

Typical.

Quest completed

______________

The Call of the Runestone

sonja

Which runestone was the one that scared us? Sniffle…

That one. That one over there. By the seashore. The one that looks exactly like the other stupid runestones.

Take a look at it, why don’t you? Be sure to come back and help me afterwards though, if that’s okay?

Objectives: Examine the runestone then return to Sonja.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

The runestone is glowing with energy and runes circling in the air around it. What could this mean…?

sonja

I agree with you, that runestone is definitely… Strange.

And it’s ugly. Stupid ugly runestone.

Quest completed

______________

Ambulance!

sonja

Please could you do me a huge favor and take me to the clinic in Jarlaheim? I don’t think I could get there on my own. Sniffle.

I don’t think I’m very seriously injured but you never know, better to get the vet to take a look at me and see if I should head to the hospital.

Could you take me on the back of your horse to the veterinarian in Jarlaheim?

Sniffle…

Objectives: Take Sonja to the vet in Jarlaheim for a check-up.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Ugh, it hurts me just watching you ride, you pitiful girl, what is that?!

dino_valley_vet

Hello there! What’s happened here?

Oh…

No helmet?

Hmph. You see, kids these days!

Now then Sonja, you might have been lucky and only scored yourself a mild concussion, but let’s have a look at you…

Quest completed

______________

Tell Linda About the Runestone

sonja

Thanks for taking me to the vet, Rita. You’re a true friend. That whole runestone thing was really bizarre. What did you say you were doing now? You’re going to meet Linda and tell her your findings? Say hey to her from me! Thanks so much again for your help.

Objectives: Report to Linda in the library at the Winery.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Return to the library and tell Linda everything that’s happened.

linda

Hey Rita! How’s it going? I’m just sitting here studying a bunch of ancient texts…

Mm-hmm…?

Quest completed

______________

Locate Alex

linda

Yup, I get you.

I reckon that’s something you should talk to Alex about. She usually tells us about how she goes out and “talks to the runestones” sometimes… Some kind of errand for the druids, apparently. Some kind of measurement she takes. She’ll probably know more about why the runestones have been behaving strangely.

I’m not sure what it could all mean. You should tell Alex all about it.

I’ve no idea where Alex is right now though. She’s not out in the field on errands. Not according to my notes, anyway.

Check the stables? Talk to a few of the people out there in the yard maybe? Perhaps someone’s seen her…

Objectives: Check with the people around the Winery and see were Alex is.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

The person you need is Tyra. You can talk to others and they will tell you either they haven’t seen Alex, or to ask if Tyra has seen her. You can skip talking to others and go directly to Tyra.

tyra

Hi Rita!

Are you looking for Alex?

Yeah, she said something earlier before she and Tin-Can galloped away east over…

Hm.

What was it?

Let me think…

Quest completed

______________

Brother James

tyra

Yes, now I remember!

Alex said something or other about family issues before she left. That nuisance James is her little brother, right?

Must be some scrape he’s gotten into that she’ll have to fix up as usual! Typical James. If I were you, I’d go to Fort Pinta and talk to him.

Objectives: Talk to James in Fort Pinta.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride or transport to Fort Pinta and seek James for information about Alex.

james

Ah.

Yeah, of course…

…

Alex. Yep.

Quest completed

______________

Alex At the Mall

james

Alex is going to meet our mother at the mall in Jorvik City. She took the bus out there a little while ago. You’ll be sure to find her there in the cafe, I’m sure.

It’s not so often we get to see mama these days, just so you know. She’s just difficult. Always wants to borrow money from me, and that’s just not happening.

Objectives: Take the bus to Jorvik City Plaza and look for Alex there.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Make sure you have your bus ticket with you. Once at the mall, you can find Alex at a table with her mother in the back of the cafe.

alex

Rita! Welcome!

Mama, this is Rita.

Rita, this is my lovely old mother.

Quest completed

______________

Mother & Daughter

alex

Wait a second, Rita.

Me and my mother are just gonna finish up here. We’re almost done, I’ll be right there.

Objectives: Wait until Alex and her mother are done talking.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

What do you mean, wait? Don’t you mean eavesdrop… Since you pretty much stand there staring while they converse.

alex

Where were we…

Yes, mama! I’ve told you, you can stop thinking like that!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

mrs_cloudmill

There’s nobody who cares about me anymore…

I’m not only abandoned, I’m a bad mother as well.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

alex

Mama!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

mrs_cloudmill

I’ve been abandoned by everyone…

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

alex

No, you know that’s not true. We love you mama!

All of your children love you. Stop saying those things, we all know they’re not true.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

mrs_cloudmill

No, no, no…

I’m such a terrible mother… I’ve failed you all.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

alex

Now you really can stop this. You’re our beloved mother and you haven’t had it easy, we all know that. That dad more or less disappeared isn’t your fault, and it’s not our fault either. It was his choice.

You had to take care of us single handedly, which was no small feat, we all know that now.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

mrs_cloudmill

No, it was no small feat, and I didn’t succeed. Y’know…

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

alex

No! You can’t say that! It’s not easy to take care of five kids on your own…

Look at us now! If I must say so myself, you did a great job! It’s all thanks to you that we’re here! We love life and we love you. Without you, we’d never be what we are now, and we owe you everything.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

mrs_cloudmill

You really mean that?

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

alex

Of course! You’re our beloved mama, and you mean the world to us so stop blaming yourself for things you had no control over that never really had such a bad effect on us anyway. You made our upbringing something special. Without you, the Cloudmill family would just be dust in a storm. We have a lot to thank you for. 

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

mrs_cloudmill

But I didn’t have any money. I didn’t have time to give you all the attention you needed…

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

alex

Listen mama, I’ve told you that you shouldn’t blame yourself… You’re the only person who thinks you’ve done something awful. Don’t take our happy childhood memories away from us now by saying such terrible things. 

It’s only you who suffers from carrying all this terrible weight, and none of it is even true, so it’s wrong!

So stop this. Now. Just take a look at all the good things instead.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

mrs_cloudmill

If you say so.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

alex

Come on, shake it off! Just show me a smile and I’ll come and celebrate Christmas with you.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

mrs_cloudmill

…

Smile!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

alex

There you go! I knew it! There was a little smile right there! Christmas is saved!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

mrs_cloudmill

Alex…

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

alex

Yes, mother?

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

mrs_cloudmill

I love you too. Thank you for being here, you’re certainly the wisest of us Cloudmills. Thanks for taking time to cheer up your hopeless old mother…

Everything feels much better now.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

alex

Thanks…

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

mrs_cloudmill

Look Alex, I think you have a visitor. Looks like that lovely horse girl over there wants something…

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

alex

Thanks for waiting a while… Mothers, huh?! They can be so down on themselves. They never seem to understand that you just love your parents whatever they do. They only ever want the best for us, we know that. Even if it’s not always right every time.

Ah well, I guess you didn’t come here to talk about mothers and families, right?

Quest completed

______________

Runestone News

alex

Oooh, the runestones, yeah. I usually measure their activity, but I’ve not had time recently.

I suppose it’s time I got out and took a look at them though…

I check the runestones so that I can calculate how active Pandoria is and whether there’s a strong flow between our reality and Pandoria’s unreality. This is crucial information for Fripp and the Keepers of Aideen.

Hmm… You’re pretty advanced and you’ve come a long way with the Lightning Circle. Maybe you could help me take the readings from the runestones? Talk to Elizabeth about it, just to make sure she’s okay with it. You’ll really be needing your own rune wand by now as well. Get permission from Elizabeth and fix up a rune wand and I’ll meet you tomorrow by that runestone there.

Objectives: Talk to Elizabeth in Valedale.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Leave the mall and find your way to Valedale to speak to Elizabeth outside her house.

elizabeth_sunbeam

I see that you’re traveling in the light of Aideen, Rita. Welcome back to my humble little village. What’s on your mind this time, my friend?

Quest completed

______________

Permission and a Wand

elizabeth_sunbeam

I can assure you that you have full permission from the Keepers of Aideen to support Alex and the others in their collection of runestone readings.

Come to think of it, we should have done this before now!

Rune wands are incredibly rare artifacts. You’ve been able to loan mine before now, but I can’t give it away. It’s time for you to have your own, but I think this is the kind of thing only Fripp can help you with. I know he’s incredibly busy right now with working out what we’re going to do next, as well as working out a safe way in and out of Pandoria.

He’ll have to find a little time to help you though.

Objectives: Ride to Fripp in the secret stone ring by riding in a spiral by the runestones above Elizabeth’s house.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Meet Fripp in the Secret Stonering.

fripp

Greetings Rita! Time is against us. The time before us was long and the time we have left is minimal. Don’t despair though! It’s right now in the moment that everything happens! You’re here now, are you not?

Quest completed

______________

A Trip to Fripp

fripp

And who really are you? Really? Who are you?

And what IS reality? Here and now? What is it?

My winding and weaving star alignments are spinning and splicing a pattern that I soon will be unable to deny… Do you know who you are…? No. Who could even answer such a question anyway…?

Fripp must weave and knit and stitch more patterns together… Sew and braid and think and fold and count and think and think and Fripp, Fripp, Fripp!

Rune wand, you say?

Objectives: Convince Fripp you need a rune wand. Now.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Don’t go getting all deeply philosophical and weird on me now, my little fuzzy friend…

fripp

Okay. If you say so. I suppose it’ll be quicker for me to just give you a wand rather than spend time telling you all the reasons why you shouldn’t have one.

I’ve seen in my timelines that you’ll have one later anyway. Later, in that which we most often call the future.

Quest completed

______________

A Rune Wand of Your Very Own

fripp

I’m going to open a very tiny fracture right now between Pandoria’s unreality and our reality. That’s where your rune wand should materialize. When you see it, hurry and grab it before the fracture needs to be closed again. Ready?

Objectives: Keep an eye on what’s happening. Be prepared to take the rune wand.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP, Rune Wand

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Watch as a rift is opened and a rune wand rises out of it. Ride forward and click to take the wand. Once you have it, speak to Fripp and he will close the rift.

fripp

So there we are, Rita. Your very own rune wand. Take care of it now.

Off you go to the runestone where you’re supposed to meet Alex and learn about how to measure Pandoric activity.

Or was it tomorrow you were supposed to meet her?

Tomorrow… Yesterday, it’s all the same.

The lines cross all the time, lines, liney-winey, linery binary binary… Time is always wobbling and bending…

Quest completed

You can now leave the Secret Stonering and return to your business for the day.

Meet Alex by the glowing runestone on Paddock Island tomorrow.

A House for the Dog

tyra

Hi! I’m ready with the doghouse now! I’m really happy with how it turned out, I think my old woodworking teacher would give me an A. Can you carry it with your horse and place it outside the riding arena? I’m so excited to see if Techno will like it!

Objectives: Place Techno’s new doghouse and see if he likes it.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Manor

Go down to the riding arena and place the doghouse near Techno, then return to Tyra.

tyra

Did he like it? Oh, I’m so happy! Many thanks, Rita. The riding arena will be safe from now on. The Baroness said she wanted to talk to you, by the way.

Quest completed

______________

As Thanks for the Help

baroness

So nice seeing you again, Rita. I wanted to give you a small gift because you have been so kind and helpful t us at the Manor. Unfortunately I don’t have enough evidence to be able to catch Mr Kembell this time. But may God forgive this man if he tries to vandalize anything here again!

Objectives: Talk to the Baroness.

Rewards: 100 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP, Techno’s Blanket

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Manor

The Baroness will give you her gift.

baroness

Here is your gift Rita, it’s Techno’s favorite pattern. I hope you and Summerblaze will like it. Now I’m looking forward to some peace and quiet at the Manor.

Quest completed

It’s about darn time somebody asked about the South Iron Gate. Let’s go see the Council Man in Silverglade Village about it.

Why is the Gate Still Closed?

council_man

I’ll tell you, it is very strange… The gate to Goldenhills Valley is always opened in the spring. Every year around this tie Klaus, the mayor of Cape West Fishing Village, opens the gate. This has never happened before… I bet you would like to know why it is closed in the wintertime?

Objectives: Speak with the Council Man.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Village

The Council Man will tell you more about the gate.

council_man

Well, the gate to Goldenhills Valley has always been closed in the winter because of the mystical snow ghosts and other dangerous winter spirits that rage through that area in the winter. By closing the gate we’ve managed to keep them from intruding in Silverglade. Those spirits are dangerous and can frighten both children and horses… So closing the gate every winter is very important.

Quest completed

______________

Reason for Opening the Gate

council_man

I’m not sure how we are going to manage it… Mayor Klaus locks and opens the gate with the Key to the City he always carries around his neck. You might have seen a painting of him in the castle at Silverglade? No? Ride to the castle and look at the painting. It is around to the right inside the door. Who knows… Maybe it will give you an idea for some solution to our problem. I’ll continue to try and find a solution here while you are away.

Objectives: Ride to Silverglade Castle and have a look at the painting of Mayor Klaus.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Go inside the castle doors and turn to the right. The painting is on the wall next to the door.

“The painting shows Mayor Klaus in Goldenhills Valley. The Key to the City is hanging around his neck on a necklace.”

Quest completed

______________

A Fake Idea!

self

“…The Key to the City that opens the locked gate… Hmm… The painting is very detailed, someone could probably make a copy of the key if… If someone had a copy of the painting!

A photo! I’ll go and explain it to the Council Man!”

Objectives: Explain your idea to the Council Man in Silverglade.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Village

Go back to the Council Man and tell him your idea.

council_man

So, your idea is that we take a photograph of the key in the painting that someone can use to make a copy of the key… And we can use that copy of the key to open the gate?

That is brilliant!

Quest completed

______________

Question of the Camera

council_man

You think you can borrow a camera from James to take a photo of the key in the painting in the castle? Ok, ride to Fort Pinta and ask the little guy!

Objectives: Ask James in Fort Pinta, if you can borrow his camera.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

No, I will demand James to give me his camera. The little whelp still owes me big time…

james

Hmmm… You want to borrow my camera?

Quest completed

______________

Key Photo

james

Ok, Rita. You can borrow my camera, just because it is you! But as soon as you are done with the camera please take it to Derek who is working at the post office in Silverglade. Derek also wanted to borrow the camera. I think he might even print out your photo for you! I’ve heard he has the equipment he needs to print out photos at the post office.

Objectives: Go take a photo of the painting in the castle. Leave the camera with Derek at Silverglade’s post office.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Go back into the castle to take the picture. Then go to Derek in Silverglade Village.

derek

Aha! I finally get to borrow James’s camera! I’ll have you know I am an excellent photographer. Before I started work here at the post office I used to take pictures for a bunch of the big fashion magazines. Just so you know, it was me who took the first photos of Anne when she went to school in Jorvik. Aha… You want me to print out your photo?

Quest completed

______________

Printed Photo

derek

Of course I’ll print it for you! I’ll do it for free. We normally take 15 Jorvik Shillings per print. Zip! Now it is ready. What a great picture of a… huh… a painted key? So… interesting…

Objectives: Take the photo to the Council Man.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Well, gee, Derek, you don’t have to brag so much. It’s not very becoming of you…

council_man

That was fast. And what a great photo! I’ve been standing here thinking about who could possibly make a key with only a photo to go by… But I haven’t come up with anyone. We don’t have a locksmith here… Have you thought of anyone?

Quest completed

______________

Can You Forge a Key?

council_man

Aha! I didn’t think of that! You are right. Conrad Marsdeen in Moorland is a well-known master blacksmith. It was great that you thought of him. Take the photo with you and ask him if he could possibly forge us a copy of the key.

If all goes well I’ll wish you luck in Goldenhills Valley. Don’t forget to send my best wishes to Klaus when you ask him why he didn’t open the gate this year.

Objectives: Ask Conrad if he can forge a copy of the key in the photo.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillngs, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Go to Moorland with your photo and ask for his help.

conrad_marsdeen

Rita! I haven’t seen you for a while. You are wondering if I can make you a copy of a key? The key to a city? Okay… The ends justifies the means. I’ll help you so that we can find out what has happened in Goldenhills Valley.

Quest completed

______________

More Iron Ore

conrad_marsdeen

I need iron ore to make you a new key. You already know that iron ore is in the Demascus Mine just southwest of here. Take my pickax and ride over to the mine to get me some. When you get back we’ll get started.

Objectives: Use the pickax in the Demascus Mine to chip out three chunks of Jorvik iron ore and come back to Conrad with them.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with Keepers of Aideen

Well, off you go!

conrad_marsdeen

Wonderful! You have done this before so you are getting good at it now.

Quest completed

______________

A Little Blacksmith’s Apprentice

This might take a while, but if you help me, the first phase of the forging can go smoother. At least you’ll get to practice your smithing skills. Who knows, some day you might be a real blacksmith’s apprentice?

Listen here… Sometimes we need to work the iron on the anvil with the hammer and sometimes we’ll need to heat the iron in the forge with the tongs… And sometimes we’ll need to cool the iron in the bucket with the water.

I’ll tell you which thing we need to do and when. Timing is always important… If we get it wrong we’ll have to start over again. Remember you’ll need to get off your horse when we start forging. And put your horse a little distance off so we have room to work.

Here are the tongs and hammer. Get ready to use them.

Objectives: You need to get off your horse and help Conrad forge the key. Use the tongs and hammer to carry out his instructions. Be careful!

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 25 with Keepers of Aideen

Conrad will start counting down time. It’s best to keep your inventory window open for this next part.

He will give you three different instructions: heat the iron, work the iron, cool the iron.

Use the tongs on the forge and the water bucket, and use the hammer on the anvil. Use each tool before time runs out. If time does run out, you will have to start the work over again.

When you’re done, speak with Conrad again.

conrad_marsdeen

You were a great apprentice, I have to say. I’m sure you could be a great blacksmith someday if you try. Now I’m going to finish the work with the key and then the iron needs to rest until tomorrow to harden properly. Come back tomorrow and the key should be ready.

Quest completed

Return to Conrad tomorrow.

The Council Man in Silverglade Village has news for you.

In Your Face Old Man!

council_man

Wait, one more thing… There is one more detail that I think needs your attention.

It has taken quite a while, but I have finally gotten the official indictment against G.E.D. The bosses of Jorvik want me to deliver the indictment to Mr Kembell, but I have a lot to do here in the city and I know how much you like to do things that drive Kembell crazy. What could possibly make him more angry than you delivering the indictment to him personally?

Mr Kembell is still glaring at his oil drills north of the Winery, you can find him there.

Objectives: Deliver the indictment against G.E.D. to Mr Kembell who is standing near the oil drills near the Winery.

A Threatening Greeting

mr_kembell

Grrr… It says that Jorvik City is charging me with fraud in the tenancy agreement where they think they can prove I have been using stolen oil drilling equipment. Catastrophe and madness! This is all your fault! You win for now… I will run while I can this time. I have found new places I can exploit for their natural resources on this stupid island. And this new place is a long way away from you AND your stupid horse!

Let the Jorvik council know that this is far from over… And when I win in court I’m going to come back here and dynamite Silverglade right off the island! You might be too young to remember, check out what I did to Hill Crest…

This is not the last time you’ll see me Rita…

Objectives: Speak with the Council Man.

And the award for the biggest crybaby goes to…

council_man

Wow, that really got him going. Mr Kembell should remember his blood pressure! Ha ha ha! We’ll have to hope that Jorvik City has what they need to make the charges stick. Mr Kembell is a dangerous man when he is angry and has the law on his side. But it is great to get rid of him for a while. Thank you Rita for your help.

Hill Crest is a sad story… It was once a prosperous town in the mountains south of Moorland that G.E.D. turned into a big hole in the ground… A mess of a dig site for mining. Both the town and the mine have been abandoned for a long time. It was a terrible shame what happened there…

a watchdog, landon, show techno his new home, techno, tyra

Let’s go see what Tyra’s plan is to protect the riding hall.

Techno

tyra

The shepherd Landon outside Silverglade Village has bought a herding dog. His name is Techno and he is the big brother of the dog Disco who lives in Silverglade Village. Maybe you have seen him? Anyway it turned out that Techno was more of a watchdog than a herding dog. Landon will let us take Techno and use him as a watchdog outside the riding stable. A solution that will be perfect for us and for the dog, and I promise that no one will vandalize the riding hall when Techno is watching over it. Landon said that Techno is ready for delivery today. Maybe you can ride over there and get our new watchdog?

A Ghost in the Wine Cellar

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

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

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

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

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

This Isn’t North Link

ged_trainee

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

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

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

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

Objectives: Speak with the trainee again.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

______________

Which Bottle is the Right One for the Baroness?

ged_trainee

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

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

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

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

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Manor

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

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

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

baroness

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

Quest completed

______________

Organization of Years

baroness

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

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

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

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

To Hide a Cellar

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

Quest completed

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

Renovation of the Wine Cellar

baroness

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

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

See you soon!

A Big Hole to Fill

ged_trainee

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

vet

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

Quest completed

______________

Return with the Results

vet

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

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

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

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

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

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

Comparing the Samples

judy

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

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

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

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

Oily News for the Old Lady

carney

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

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

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

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 110 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Manor

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

baroness

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

Quest completed

______________

Ready for Mission

baroness

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

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

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

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Manor

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

sonja

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

Hey, why don’t we race to the oil field?

Follow the checkpoints to the oil field. The race takes the path through the grape fields and up the hill next to the bridge.

Ok, we’re here. Are… are you sure about this? Those oil drilling guys are everywhere. We could get caught!

A Serial Collector

sonja

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

Hey, here’s some paper and a pen.

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

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 110 XP

You know the drill. Don’t get caught.

You got all of them? Oh my God, I’m so relieved. I’ve been near to peeing my pants over here!

Delivering the Serials

sonja

So, this went well! We make a good team we two, don’t you think? Anyway, it’s time for me to go back to my stable chores. You should go visit the baroness with the serial numbers. See you around!

Objectives: Deliver the serial numbers to the baroness at the winery.

Reputation: 55 with Silverglade Manor

Hurry back the Baroness is waiting for you!

baroness

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

Post the Letter with Serial Numbers

baroness

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

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

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 140 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Manor

If you haven’t used the mailbox before, it is the big red box outside of the manor gate, and also located in all of the villages around Jorvik.

self

“The letter with serial numbers is now in the post box and will soon be in the hands of the baroness’ son Aaron at the Jorvik Council.”

Quest completed

The next quest starts at the black horse, Khaan, standing in the Silverglade manor stables.

Whose Horse is That?

self

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

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

Objectives: Ask Tyra who owns that black horse.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 110 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

Tyra is standing to the west of the stable.

tyra

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

Quest completed

______________

Talking to Sabine

tyra

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

Objectives: Ask Sabine if she was out riding at Moorland last night.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 110 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

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

sabine

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

Quest completed

______________

There’s a Riding Track Here?

sabine

And now you’re going to ask me about the riding track, too? Oh my God, you’re unbelievable. Just leave me alone, will you. If you feel a desperate need to bother someone, go to the stable girls. I’m sure they’re DYING to hear what you have to say.

Objectives: Ask Tyra about the Silverglade Manor riding track.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 110 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Manor

Someone has their crankypants on today. That or she’s hiding something…

tyra

The riding track? You didn’t know about that? It’s right over there, you can try it out!

Quest completed

I forgot to note the beginning dialogue for this next quest. It starts at Pauline, down the hill from Tyra, standing next to the stone wall.

Trying Out the Manor’s Riding Track

pauline

Objectives: Try out Silverglade Equestrian Center’s riding track.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 110 XP

Reputation: 45 with Silverglade Manor

The first of a new race for you. This race goes through the grape fields and then down and around the road near the manor.

pauline

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

Quest completed

Sabine, now behind you, has had a change of heart.

Reversed Attitude

sabine

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

Objectives: Answer Sabine’s question.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 95 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

Even if you don’t want to be friends, just tell her what she wants to hear.

sabine

Really? You will? Ha! Thank you so much! We will have so much fun together! Gosh, I’m so glad we worked that out. So what are you doing now? You don’t happen to know Justin Moorland, by chance? You do?! That’s fantastic!

Quest completed

______________

Sabine’s Request

sabine

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

Please go to Moorland and give this letter to Justin!

Objectives: Give the letter to Justin at Moorland Stables.

Rewards: 110 Jorvik Shillings, 115 XP

Reputation: 35 with Moorland Stable

Well, what Sabine doesn’t know is that all you need to do to make a place a more classier is to play lounge jazz music. Ta da! Instant class!

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

justin_mooland

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

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

So, I guess I’ll open this then…

Quest completed

A Message for Thomas

justin_mooland

Hey, wait… this is… What in the… I don’t know what to… You know what? I need to leave right away. This letter… If what it says is true, I…

Listen, I can’t stay. You need to tell my father that I’m going on a trip; will you do that for me? It’s… it’s my grandfather. This seems to be really important. Tell Thomas right away!

Objectives: Tell Thomas Moorland that Justin is going away to see his grandfather.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 125 XP

Reputation: 35 with Moorland Stable

Thomas is out on a ride and can be found on the little rise next to the smithy, where the GPS equipment was set up earlier.

thomas_moorland

Wait, wait – what are you saying? His grandfather? This can’t be true. Please don’t let this happen! Justin absolutely can NOT see his… my… This is bad. This is really bad.

Quest completed

______________

Return to Sender

thomas_moorland

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

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

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

Objectives: Head back to the manor and find out more about Sabin and the letter.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 125 XP

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

Ride back to the manor and speak with the Baroness.

baroness

Sabine? No, she left a while ago with her horse, equipment and everything. Seemed like she wasn’t going to be back. Funny, since she had just paid for a full month of stable rent.

Quest completed

______________

Who is Sabine?

baroness

You want to know more about Sabine? Frankly, I don’t know much about the girls running around in these stables. I know their names but that’s about how far my memory, or should I say interest – goes.

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

Objectives: Ask the Baroness about Sabine.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 125 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Manor

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

baroness

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

Quest completed

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

Horses on the Run

judy

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

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

Rewards: 45 Jorvik Shillings, 300 XP

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Manor

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

judy

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

Quest completed

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

A New Girl at the Stable

baroness

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

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

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 45 with Keepers of Aideen

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

alex

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

Quest completed

Tracking Missing Girls

alex

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

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

Objectives: Find Khaan’s glowing hoof prints.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 45 with Keepers of Aideen

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

alex

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

Quest completed

______________

Hooves on Fire

alex

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

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

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 70 XP

Reputation: 45 with Keepers of Aideen

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

alex

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

A Message of Doom

alex

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

Objectives: Tell Thomas what his son is doing.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 60 XP

Reputation: 55 with Moorland Stable

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

thomas_moorland

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

Rendezvous at Silverglade Manor

thomas_moorland

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

Objectives: Meet up with Alex at the Silverglade Manor.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 60 XP

Reputation: 45 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride back to Alex at the stable.

alex

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

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

Quest completed

______________

Who’s Your Father?

alex

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

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

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

Talk to the Council Man in Silverglade Village

council_man

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

Quest completed

Searching the Abandoned Summer House

council_man

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

The house is located in Hollow Woods’ southwestern outskirts.

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

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 110 XP

Reputation: 25 with Keepers of Aideen

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

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

self

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

Bring Back the Book

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

Objectives: Return to Alex with the old registration book.

Ride back to the Manor with the book.

alex

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

Quest completed

Return to Alex tomorrow.

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

Trash in the Woods

sonja

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