| Quests | Old man in review board:
The old man in the Review Board scratches his head. "Yes, you are the prophesied ones, but you have come too early. No matter."
"Beneath Skara Brae you will find one of Tarjan's devotees. Brilhasti ap Tarj is a foul Necromancer, and his life impedes my efforts to stave off disaster."
"You may enter the Catacombs under the Mad God's Temple by uttering his master's name... 'Tarjan'"
"Destroy Brilhasti ap Tarj, then return to me for your true quest."
With a wave of his hand, the old man re-energizes all magic users.
---
"Welcome ye children of the prophecy. Upon your shoulders falls a great weight, for you must embark on what will be your greatest adventure ever."
"That which has laid waste to Skara Brae is an ancient evil recently released. It threatens to destroy all reality and time as it has wrought havon on Skara Brae."
"If you cannot stop it, it will consume the universe. If you do stop it, you will be rewarded beyond all your dreams."
"Prepare thyselves, and hasten to the place of trees, for it is most like the first dimension you must sojourn in to blunt evil."
"Arboria, the home of Valarian the bold, is reached through using powerful magic that only a Chronomancer can control."
"Bring to me Valarian's Bow and The Arrows of Life if Valarian will not return here with you."
"Yes, and be on the lookout for an ally, for you are not the first I have sent on this quest. Though your paths are different, they may cross, and you will do well together."
With a wave of his hand, the old man re-energizes all magic users.
