Quests

Have a thirst for adventure eh? Tired of wandering the world with no purpose? WELL look no further! While most events in Elysium are purely RNG, there are special scripted quests that can be undertaken in order for you to unlock perks and special powers for your unicorns! These quests CAN end in failure, even injury but players are allowed to take up failed quests again. When you do so, they pick up where they left off so don't worry about starting over (unless you want to for story purposes). Quests only fail if a horse loses it’s trail, takes a wrong turn or are injured and require rest.

Keep in mind, some Quests are INSANELY dangerous and can end with your unicorns death. These quests will come with ample warnings so you can make the decision for yourself if the prize is worth the risk.

Quest submissions should be a minimum of either:

400 words for a pure literature piece
or
A colored partial body with background

How to initiate a Quest

Interested in heading out on a whimsical adventure!? Look at our prompts below and choose which quest you which to undertake! Keep in mind, some have to be completed in order to start others so read carefully! Some quests can be taken up by regular herdmembers while others will require your lead stallion / mare to participate.

Once you have decided which quest you want to undertake, note the group in order to receive your initial prompt. Be sure to include which of your characters are undertaking these quests along with which quest they will be undertaking. Quest prompts should be responded to closely as they are designed to lead you upon a semi-specific path. After you post your reply to this initial prompt, you will continue to receive more from an Elysium mod.

Your pieces should continue to respond to these prompts as they will help guide you through your journey! You will continue to receive prompts until the quest is complete or until your unicorn fails their quest or you choose a wrong path! Some of these prompts will give you options so choose wisely, else you might be back tracking.

Magic Quests

~Magical Awakening~
Quest requirements: 3 accepted group submissions (for the unicorn in question)

Legends say that in the "Before Time" all unicorns in Elysium were gifted with an elemental magic! Centuries have passed and the legendary sages have long since died but...what of magic? Some believe it has long since abandoned Elysium while others say that the magic is only sleeping. Do you have what it takes to awaken your inner power!?

Rewards: Your character gains access to their dormant magic strain
Risks: Minor, encounters will vary.

Not sure if your unicorn qualifies for this quest? Check their design! If a mod has logged at least 3 submissions for them, they can undertake it!

Other Mod Notes

Foals may participate in this quest but only until a limited point! They can learn which strain of magic they have but can not awaken it until they are at least 3 yrs old.
Lead characters who have already awoken their magic must help any other herd members find the magical shrines (first half of the quest). However locating the temples will not require their lead to participate. Players lead characters must give herd members permission to leave and seek their elemental temples.

~The Legend of Primal Reversion~
Quest requirements: Complete Magical Awakening, 1 in-game years with awakened elemental magic.

Years have passed and you have grown to rely on your magical prowess. With this added edge in your arsenal life has grown a little easier for you. Rumors have reached your ears once more that your magic can be further enhanced. Stories tell of ancient forms of magic, a Primal form to every known elemental! Do you seek greater powers or are you content with what you have?

Rewards: Your characters Elemental magic reverts to its primal form.
Risks: Severe injury - death

Other Mod Notes

Lead characters do not have to accompany herd members on this quest. However, like the Magical Awakening questline they must give any herd members permission to do so.

~ Elemental Rebinding ~
Quest requirements: Complete Magical Awakening, 1 in-game years with awakened elemental magic. This quest may only be undertaken ONCE per character.

Years have passed and despite having this new power you just...don't feel right? It's taken time to figure it out but you truly feel as though a mistake was made. The elemental magic you awoke just isn't...you. Surely there is a way to change fate right? Determination and grit have to count for something as you set out to change your awoken strain of magic.

Rewards: Change the elemental magic of your chosen character
Risks: Severe injury - Locked Elemental Magic (strain doesn't change!)

Other Mod Notes

Lead characters do not have to accompany herd members on this quest. However, like the Magical Awakening questline they must give any herd members permission to do so.

~ Lesser Evil ~
Quest requirements: Character has lived with their strain of shadow magic for 1 in game year.

You accepted your fate years ago and yet...some shred of hope has remained. Despite becoming the living embodiment of evil you've found a way to survive and still live with yourself...right? Well either way, rumor has reached your ears that those cursed like you can have a final say in your fate. Apparently a Blight such as yourself can appeal to the nameless god to amend your curse. Will they take pity on you or curse you further? Only one way to find out.

Rewards: Change the strain of Shadow Magic on a Blighted Character.
Risks: Severe injury - Shadow Magic is unchanged.

Other Mod Notes

Lead characters do not have to accompany herd members on this quest. However, like the Magical Awakening questline they must give any herd members permission to do so.

World Lore Quests

~Temple Delving~

Quest requirements: Completed Magical Awakening

The temple where you reconnected to your magic was a marvel to behold. While some temples are in better shape than others, they seem to always offer other paths begging to be explored! Now you have the time to go back and investigate these ancient places more thoroughly.

Rewards: Ancient or Magical Relic
Risks: Minor - Moderate injury

Other Mod Notes

Lead characters do not have to accompany herd members on this quest. However, they must give any herd members leaving permission to do so.

~Ancient Kingdoms~

Quest requirements: None

All unicorns know that the world was once divided into great elemental kingdoms. While these borders have long since been lost, plenty of tales exist describing ancient landmarks hinting at where these kingdoms once stood. Do you have the courage, nah, the sense of direction to find them? Players may choose to explore and hunt for these landmarks in: The Blooming Territories, The Flame Expanse, the Hissing Sands, Lake Nokotara, the Veiled Rift and the Ruined Coast.

Rewards: Ancient Relics, Treasure bonuses and revealed lore
Risks: Minor - Moderate injury

Other Mod Notes

Lead characters ARE required to accompany any herd members on this questline. Someone has to FAIRLY divide up any treasure found after all ;D

~The Gate of Shadows~
Quest requirements: None
Evil is not an unfamiliar concept in Elysium but if there is one thing no one ever speaks of are the shadow creatures. Made of pure evil and consumers of all that is good, shadow beasts are becoming a more frequent sight. Even more alarming is the appearance of corrupted beings that seem to be sickened by some sort of dark illness. Enough is enough and someone has to put a stop to it! Do you have what it takes to uncover the truth behind the Shadow Blight and how it came to be?

If questing to obtain a strain of Shadow Magic, the questing unicorn must already have their magic unlocked.

Rewards(?): Potential for Physical Mutation, Corruption of elemental magic, relics/treasure bonus (Items may be cursed)
Risks: Severe injury - death, physical mutation or corruption of elemental magic

Other Mod Notes

Lead characters do not have to accompany herd members on this quest. However, they must give any herd members leaving permission to do so.

~Ruined Treasures~
Quest requirements: None

The Ruined Coast is famed for being covered in strange ruins and hiding vast bounties of lost treasure. Bizarre relics and items are bountiful in these ruins and ripe for the plucking...assuming you're brave enough to go searching. Ghouls and various blights abound in the more densely packed ruins where they huddle together and hide in the shadows. Even more dangerous are the massive Vulcanos Dragons that call these lands home.

Rewards: Unique cosmetics/items, treasure bonus
Risks: Severe injury - death

Other Mod Notes

Lead characters ARE required to accompany any herd members on this questline. Someone has to FAIRLY divide up any treasure found after all ;D

Seeking Quests

Slightly different than the other two types of quests, Seeking Quests allow players to look for specific items or encounters. These quests are guaranteed to give players what they describe but can not be completed back to back. Meaning you can not take on two mare encounter quests one after another. Only Lead Stallions or Mare may take on Seeking Quests. After all, leads and are the only ones who can accept new members.

Two regular group submissions must be accepted before taking on another Seeking Quest.

~Handsome Hunks and Solid Soldiers~
Quest requirements: None

Surviving the hostile lands of Elysium is tough enough but alone? Impossible. Some may find themselves in need of a beefy protector and what better than a stallion!? Or perhaps one of your herds lovely ladies is on the hunt for a husband? Either way, take on this quest to guarantee a random stallion encounter! This is a two submission quest, your first piece describing or showing how your character goes looking for said companion. The second submission should detail how you interact with said encounter.

Rewards: Random Stallion Encounter

~Lovely Ladies and Warrior Women~
Quest requirements: None

Loneliness is as much a danger in Elysium as a dragon. Perhaps not as dangerous but a unicorn alone is not one that tends to last very long. Whether you're seeking a new companion or looking to add to your herd, mares are a great start. Some at warmhearted and gentle while some can be just as tough and brave as stallions. Accept this quest for a chance to encounter a new lass! This is a two submission quest, your first piece describing or showing how your character goes looking for said companion. The second submission should detail how you interact with said encounter.

Rewards: Random Mare Encounter

~Missed Connection~

Quest requirements: Previous encounter

Find yourself thinking about the one that got away? Encounter an NPC that you can't stop thinking about? For players wanting to re-encounter an NPC this is the quest for you! Players may take on this quest to track down previously encountered NPCs be it monster or unicorn. This is a two submission quest, your first piece describing or showing how your character goes looking for this NPC. The second submission should detail how you interact with said encounter. Is your character hoping to add them to their herd or are they there to settle a grudge?

Rewards: Re-encounter a previously encountered NPC

~Plants a Plenty~
Quest requirements: None

Elysium is abound with herbs and magical plants of many different shapes and sizes. Some will heal your wounds while others make your stomach churn so badly you almost past out! Whatever you seek, it can easily be found if you just dedicate your time to looking for it and know what you're looking for. This seeking quest allows the subject to seek out one of two well known Elysium Herbs or one of its special summoning items. Your first submission should describe/illustrate your character deciding which plant they are looking for and where they think they'll find it. Have they found it there before? Did they hear a rumor about it growing there? The second submission should describe/illustrate the same character harvesting the herb and deciding how they're going to use it. Will they gobble it down immediately or save it for a rainy day?

Rewards: Choice of Herbal Cures, White Herb, Energy Root, Sun Plum or Comet Flower
