Lord and Lady Tallary need your help! They seek to hold an exciting
competition for uncovering the rich histories of the items the Turamzzyrian
Academy of Elanthian History possesses. From those who wish to help,
teams of no more than nine will be created, either by building robust
teams or allowing assignment to a team. Individual efforts are also
allowed, but may find they have a tougher time solving some puzzles.
The artifacts will be on display at Lord and Lady Tallary's lovely
academy for participants to view. Their expert curators will be
on hand to give what information is known about the artifact to
get the adventurers started on their ways. Teams will then comb
the four corners of the lands to unravel the mystery behind the
items.
Each challenge has been carefully designed to allow multiple teams
to participate simultaneously without infringing on other teams'
enjoyment and experience.
Lord and Lady Tallary will award teams points upon successful completion
of an artifact's challenge. Points awarded will vary depending on
factors such as the complexity of puzzles, and whether the puzzle
has been previously solved. (The quest includes fifteen new and
fifteen old puzzles.)
Points are awarded for team accomplishments, so if a team with
one member discovers just as much history as a team with nine members,
all individuals receive the same amount of points. In this regard,
it is within everyone's best interest to get a full team together.
However, even if your team wasn't able to uncover any artifact's
history, you still get some points just for participating!
Adventurers will then board the majestic Foehn's Promise, where
there will be an amazing selection of food, fantastic entertainment,
glorious gambling and over two hundred great prizes to spend hard-earned
tokens on.
While the prizes may not be artifacts, or items with spectacular
abilities, each item will have a loresong, detailing its own stimulating
and dramatic travels through the history of Elanthia.
