QuestBoard - March 2022
QuestBoard Top Tasks are the ones that are posted at the start of each month. Any character may complete them, even if they seem like a unique task, because time being frozen and magic mayhem are a recipe for weird time pockets resulting in multiple occurrences in the same space. (tl;dr there are no dibs, just have fun.) There are three kinds of tasks, each labeled with a symbol for its type:
= COMBAT QUEST (counts toward Knighthood OR Unseelie)
= ASSISTANCE QUEST (counts toward Nobility OR Arcane Mage) 
= SPECIAL (see quest details) Combat and assistance quests are the most common and will appear every month. Specials are tasks that either fit both categories, neither category, or has some kind of exceptional reward. Special tasks are uncommon, so do not expect to see them all the time. Each quest is worth 1 Rewards point unless your character has achieved Knighthood or Nobility status (See FAQ for more information), which both double rewards points.
Do not reply to this post to do a quest. Just thread out the quest and turn it in as instructed on the Rewards Points (Elphame Traders) page when you are ready to redeem. Threads must be started in the month that the quest was announced, though it may start at any day during the month and you may backtag as necessary. Feel free to reply to this post with questions about Top Tasks.
⛄ March Top Tasks ⛺
Tent Solution
Hello! My children are really distressed by the state of the sky right now! Won't somebody think of the children! That's why me and my fellow mothers hope that you could help us with covering up the sky - even if just a little bit! Use tents, magic or whatever it is you have in your hands to create safe spaces for our children to play in outside because they can't stay indoors all the time!
Snow Laughing Matter
Help! My magic has been acting up and I accidentally enchanted the snowmen the neighbourhood kids built...all of them! Now they're all trying to get into people's houses to hide in their fridges to avoid melting! Please help me herd them into this rented freezer building until I can figure out how to disenchant them! Make sure none of the ones already in there escape when you get one inside!
Our Neighbor Growboro
With the warring storm spirits that once occupied the peaks of the first Ash Mountain gone, the area is nowhere near as cold as it once was and a strange forest spirit has come out from the Dusklight Woods. The spirit is large and rotund and accompanied by two of its same species, though much smaller in size. They've attempted to travel into the area of the ruins at least three times, but have had to rush back because of a hoard of undead lingering in the area, attracted by the noise made during the raids on the Dragon's Graveyard. Dispatch the zombies and skeletons in the ruins of Lestari, or work to divert the herd to another portion of the Land of Rot. With a protected space, these spirits will be able to enter the ruins and begin to do magic dances to raise plants from the ground and begin bringing life back to the area. They're pretty cute and friendly toward children, but will run if adults approach them, so if you watch and are over 16, make sure you watch from a distance so you don't scare them off.
Farm-tastic Crops
It's time to get farms ready for planting. The Lord Li Min is looking for people to help get this process started. Remove left over frost with elemental magic, give seedlings a head start with green magic or just make use of good, old physical labour to get things done. There are also a handful of machines running on coal that can help with getting the ground ready for planting. however they break down regularly and require a bit of cleaning out. Technomancers will have an easier time.
KNIGHT QUEST: This quest is available IC only to characters with the Knight title. Knights can invite anyone to complete the quest with them. During the ritual blackout, the protective ritual keeping out Anthropophagi was down long enough that the one who had last attempted to bring them in let in his entire tribe. The tribe obliterated a settlement in the Lotus Pod Mountain. The only survivor made their way down to Camelot. They've received the attention of a healer. King Arthur needs knights to travel to the Anthropophagi-occupied settlement in the Lotus Pod Mountain and eliminate as many of them as possible. They are known to be nomadic and eat anyone and everything they encounter, so it's important they're stopped before they slaughter any more towns.
SECRET KNIGHT QUEST: This quest is available IC only to characters with the Knight title who have had positive interactions with King Arthur during a thread. King Arthur is asking the knights he considers most trustworthy to sneak into Nicnevin. Find and retrieve Clarent from the Fairy Queen. If retrieval is not possible, destroy it. The mission's objective is top secret. ((OOC NOTE: If your character participates in this quest, notify the mods here. Though characters are permitted to invite those who were not told of the quest, they are not supposed to share the true objective. Come up with whatever cover story you would like. See comment instructions for what info we need!)
⛈️ Dark Web Tasks 👁🗨
OR
Magic Mayhem!
Calling all of those who thrive from Lady Morganna's ritual! I want to see chaos, so I want you to use magic everywhere now that it's weird. Go help people and end up doing the exact opposite! Tell someone a rumor through cognitive magic they weren't supposed to hear! Just cause general problems and I will pay you well. Just seeing the chaos is enough for me.
Join Us
We were human once. You could be us once. We take land because Avalon denied us, called us wrong, destroyed us. Defend our people in the Lotus Pod Mountains. We will reward you. We do not kill you, we kill for you. Anthropophagi brethren, you shall become.
The Coming Storms
We've long been searching for the remains of the storm spirits who once fought upon the tops of the first Ash Mountain. Their clans have been scattered, causing harsh weather in random places this year, but have started to regather. It's not complete yet, though. Capture the strays in enchanted jars that we will provide you. Don't ask questions, just deliver them to the park at midnight any time this month in the lowertown. Our people will be watching, so don't try anything or we will not come out and you will not get paid.
Any do-gooders who show and try to stop this trade will find themselves beaten to the ground and hoping a healer walks by for they won't make it to the hospital. And then we'll find the ones you love, and do the same, wherever they are. The dark web is for dark souls, and my people have no intention of playing nice. However many you bring, we are more.

Secret Knight Quest
Note: You can choose whether or not they find the sword- the fairy queen has transfigurations of her treasures to keep them safe, so only one person will truly get the real Clarent. This will be determined at the end of the month via RNG between those who sign up.

I completely understand if that's not possible, but if it is I'll do whatever is needed (thread with myself, provide information here or elsewhere of how he'd go about it, etc).

Who is going on the quest? - Hijikata and Horus
Are they being secretive as instructed? - Yes!
What did they say was their reason for entering the fairy queen's castle in Nicnevin? - Hijikata claimed that they need to retrieve the sword (without naming it, just saying that it's a cursed sword) because it's dangerous and needs to be disenchanted by Merlin, and Queen Elphame won't give it up because it was a present (strategically gifted to her by some shady people to a nebulous nefarious end, of course).
Do you want them to get caught by the fairy queen or succeed? - I'm happy with either, but since they may be the only people going on the quest I'm more generously inclined than usual this time!
If they succeed, do they bring Clarent back to Arthur or destroy it? - They bring it back.
