Rules of Terran Questing

1. Given the potential to impact canon and the VB award that comes hand-in-hand with each quest, all players should expect that their characters run the risk of receiving serious damage or even becoming maimed. Level 3 quests run the risk of character death. Players should keep in mind that even death isn't permanent in a place like Valucre.

2. In order to take a quest off the market, you must send me a PM expressing your interest.

3. At the end of every quest, it is important that you follow the Canonization Process. Submitting it for canonization and having it approved is how you as players reap the VB reward, as well as get your quest activity documented in the town's lore article.

Kernels correspond to one of the twelve main cities in Terrenus. The location and the rumor itself are all the characters should know IC until they engage in the quest and get further details. OOC, almost all details of the quest are open to modification and interpretation by the players or appointed GM

Kernels are separated into 3 levels, difficulty and VB reward rising accordingly. Level 1 and Level 2 quests can be GM'd by anyone, and if you wish to GM a quest for a group of other individuals under our incentive program, message me to work out the details.

With Level 3 quests will be handled exclusively by me or a personally appointed/approved proxy.

If you pick up a quest and are by yourself at the start, my recommendation is making a Water Cooler post to gather both players for your team and cast a net out for anyone that might want to GM. An alternative to finding a GM is simply filling out the Storyteller Request form.

Level 1: 200-400 VB per. 1-2 players. 1+ page.
Level 2: 500-700. 2-5 players. 2+ pages.
Level 3: 800-1k. 1+ players. 3+ pages.

All this while entering into a side-deal with the devil Roen to bring the dragon back alive. Without getting into the meat of the thread, the character Enigma was able to pacify the mother dragon with her empath abilities and takes her eggs, knowing it was the dragon's maternal reflex that drove it to terrorize the village. In one fell swoop Enigma frees Weland of the grip of the dragon and delivered one of the eggs to Roen.
