Quest: Inherent Evil Parts 1+2
Lvl: 84-88
Difficulty: Hard
Starter NPC: Halden & Isomor
Location: Somewhere In Gavel

This quest will likely be on the longer side, so I will be adding to it as I make more content for it, but here is a brief overview of what it will be like. The story and key elements are based on the Inheritance Cycle, by Christopher Paolini, and many names used will be anagrammed or altered.

The Quest will begin by speaking to Idrer an important member of the resistance known as the Vrendr, in his dialogue he will explain how King Rakishnu took rule by manipulating members of a ruling class to carry out his will. Idrer’s part is minimal, as he will ask for a small amount of mob drops as proof of worthiness to join the Vrendr. After completion, he will instruct the player to visit a Vrendr hide-out(or city) where they will meet Suanada, leader of the Vrendr. At the camp, the rebels are already preparing for battle. Suanada will welcome the new fighter and warn the of the danger they face. Rakishnu’s main henchman, Zurda, is preparing to lay siege to the fortress. The shade posses vast, enigmatic powers which the Vrendr will need the player’s help to defeat.

Once the player finds and defeats Zurda, Suanada recognizes the potential of the player, and suggests that they seek further training from the Elves. The player will then seek out Isomor, who in turn will discuss how to strike at King Rakishnu by eliminating his hidden servants known as the Nal’ri who hide the mountain keep known as Grelhid. The player will find Grelhid and complete parkour challenges, at the end of which are Nal'ri eggs that they must smash to destroy.

-- This part may be cut due to length-- Upon returning to Isomor, the player is tasked with one last order before combating Rakishnu. The player is sent to the Stone of Ganir, where they must discover their true name before entering. Their true name will be found by completing three sets of parkour, at the end of each lies a set of letters and an order. At the rock, the player will input the name, by way of buttons with groups of letters, i.e. eath, jour, or bert, and enter the stone. Where they learn the secret of the King.

Entering the King will welcome the player into his castle, where he will exclaim that their battle will not be with mundane weapons, but with the mind. The battle will take place in a most barren room(Mostly to give the feel of being in someone's mind), and when Rakishnu is defeated, he will drop an item which the player will use to receive their reward.

The Reward could be one of two things:

The item can be returned to Isomor for a Bracer, called Nera, which focuses on Intelligence, and magic buffs.

Or the Item can be brought to a merchant, probably a different title, where it can be traded for weapons relating to the Series:
Britla: Dagger
Nreinen: Spear
Stondufel: Bow
Idrer’s Staff: Wand

This is mostly to get an Idea of whether people like the quest, before I spend a few hours making, as well as how much content will be idea, and if anything should be cut, added, or altered in anyway. ALL suggestions are welcome, as I am not sure as to the location of the quest, EXP/Emerald Reward, or stats of enemies and item rewards should be.

This will be a long term project, and will not be finished all at once. Continue to check the page for updates if you are interested.

Starter NPC: Isomor
Location: TBA

Part [1]:

Pre-Quest
[1/1]Isomor: You will have need of me soon, but now is not the time.

Quest:
--There will most likely be medicine, or something of the sorts near Isomor, to show that they are sick and cannot fight Rakishnu themselves.--
[1/12]Isomor: Welcome friend. I see that Suanada has finally sent someone to find me.
[2/12]Isomor: What? You thought Yara was the only elf that is part of the Vrendr?
[3/12]Isomor: While some elves would keep to themselves, others, like myself, realize the need to become involved when an issue arrises.
[4/12]Isomor: As you know, my name is Isomor. I am the last living Siagna, one who fights with their mind.
[5/12]Isomor: Both Suanada and Idrer believe that you too may have this ability, and that is the reason you have been sent here.
[6/12]Isomor: This ability is how Rakishnu amounted his true power. He attacked the minds of those weaker than himself, and bent their will to his own.
[7/12]Isomor: But that is not the only secret to his success, no. There is a hidden group of assassins, the Nal’ri, who carry out his wishes.
[8/12]Isomor: They are from neither Wynn nor Gavel, and their monstrous form led most to run in fear.
[9/12]Isomor: Before we can defeat Rakishnu, we must eliminate his assassins.
[10/12]Isomor: They remain in the hidden fortress known as Grelhid, and that is also where they lay their eggs.

Part [4]:

Pre-Quest
[1/1] Isomor: We will speak once you have completed the task at hand.

Quest:
[1/8] Isomor: Welcome, I must assume that by the tears on you armour and the sweat on your brow that you have succeeded.
[2/8] Isomor: In any other circumstance, the defeat of the Nal’ri would call for celebration, but alas, now is not the time.
[3/8] Isomor: While Rakishnu’s assassins are powerful foes, there is one more step we must take before we confront Rakishnu himself.
[4/8] Isomor: Even though he is only a human(maybe testificate), Rakishnu has amounted an untold amount of power, far beyond my own.
[5/8] Isomor: We might not know how this occurred, but we believe that we have found the location where we might find the truth.
[6/8] Isomor: I must ask you to venture to the Stone of Ganir, I know not what you will find there, but that is where you must go.

Once the Player Enters
[1/8] Mysterious Voice: At last, you have arrived. We have been watching you, and wondering whether you would make it here.
*The voice seems as though several people are speaking through the same mouth*
[2/8] Mysterious Voice: If you are here, then you must be hoping to learn the secret of Rakishnu’s power, let us explain.
[3/8] Mysterious Voice: Rakishnu derives his power from the foes he has defeated.
[4/8] Mysterious Voice: He has found a way to steal the energy from the bodies of the people he has slain, and contain it with some sort of conduit.

[4/6] Rakishnu: Alas, there is no time for wasting words on a lost cause, shall we begin?
*Player is teleported into a battle arena*
--The battle will take place in a barren, light colored room(Mostly to give the feel of being in someone's mind) If you die the entrance will be behind where Rakishnu is standing--

I read those books!

 

I love it but copywright. Make some edits, it literally just eragon series but in wynn.

 

Yeah, I will change most of the names and object, I want to see if people have an interest in seeing this developed before I put a ton of work into it, only to later learn that people aren't big fans of it.

Hey, I know this book.
In any case, Zurda needs stats. Just quote this post when the quest s complete and I'll look it over and give some info.

 

OK BEFORE I EVEN START ON HOW MUCH I LIKE THIS QUEST,
I LOVE THAT SERIES :D
This is a really good idea! This is a quest that I would personally love doing. Everything looks really good and thought out, I can't wait to see the full thing!
+1 supporter :DDD

 

Hmm... I loved the series, read it so many times...

The fact that it's a reference feels quite off to me, although I can tolerate that. The quality of the quest is excellent, but could use some work. At present, it's too big and chunky. I recommend you split this into several quests.

 

Yeah, I have been thinking about splitting it up. The only logical place to split is seems to be at Zurda, but that leave the first half very short and lacking content. In terms of content splitting I could add some part before Danethin, and end it with meeting them. If you have suggestions on what to add, or whether I should change the names I would be happy to hear it.

 

Care to take a final look-over?

 

Nice. It's interesting to read if you've read the books, but even if one didn't it would still probably be interesting.
But how much do the mobs regenerate? Every mob always regenerates every ten seconds, the difference is how much it regenerates.
