Back in 1997, I ran a short-lived set of in-game quests. They were popular with the few players who began trickling back after the several server moves through Colorado and later, JPL.

Here is one of them, mostly for Dina, who loves this stuff. Note the format: I had to pre-compose the text with spacers in order to get the parchments to format more nicely.

In those days, pets lived forever and never wandered. You could call them, and give them stuff, and they'd remain until the end of the uptime. Great for making carriers of notes without having DEMI+ privileges.

GENERAL QUEST POST

An abiding evil threatens the Realm… While dark powers gather against two fortresses near the Calidone Woods, a tower of arcane magic, has been corrupted in the name of vengeance and tyranny!

Discover the dark secret of three realms… Trace the web of evil to the very edges of our plane… Intercept the instruments of destruction before they can wreak havoc...

Parchment placed with KING EVELAKE

... mind thee, the dastard does not care one whit for his service to thine crown, and holds nary

a thought for the poor souls he sacrifices so brutally hither.

I beseech thee, liege, renounce his unholy services and break the bond with which he might yet shackle thee...

At least do this for me. DESTROY the six words of power before they can be uttered...

Destroy them, Evelake, or be thee destroyed.

Signed,

LORD WELMAR

King of the North Plains

|Parchment placed with Queen De Grance:

5th day of the Month of Futility

Day of the Great Gods

Champion of the Realm,

Heed My Royal Plea:

My husband has been accursed by evil magicks arrayed against him and beyond the ken of his advisers and close counsel.

He was lured by a power that consumes him, a dark promise made to him by his father years ago, that the kingdoms of Camelot

and Carteloise would one day be ruled as one!

It has clouded his mind and allied him with the purest of evil... I wish it were not so...

Please answer my most earnest appeal and save my husband... I will order a reward for you and all who will follow you... Seek my husband

and see his pain! Do not harm him, for he knows not what he does... I will provide you with the name of the ultimate evil so that you may

destroy it ultimately!

J. S. E.

|On Morgana Le Fay:

<nowiki>|</nowiki> ...We hast done what thee hast demanded

<nowiki>|</nowiki> Morgana, and now we desire our reward!

<nowiki>|</nowiki>

<nowiki>|</nowiki> The WORDS are EVELAKE's now, and

<nowiki>|</nowiki> thee shall have thine revenge upon Camelot

<nowiki>|</nowiki> and Arthur!

<nowiki>|</nowiki>

<nowiki>|</nowiki> Our gold, Morgana! Do not delay! Send

<nowiki>|</nowiki> us our spoils!

|On the Master Summoner (High Tower of Sorcery):

Conjurer of Magick Most Arcane:

I implore thee! Unleash thine minions NOW upon

the lands of Arthur!

As we made compact, my good sisters have provided

thee with the SIX words of power... and now thee

controls the sixth plane as thy biddeth...

In further payment, mine agent will deliver

EVELAKE's child bride to thee as guaranty, and soon

thereafter, her lover, Sir Kay of Camelot... as

repayment for his transgressions!

I remain yours in Service...

MORGANA LE FAYE

|On Sir Kay:

My darling:

Take heed and leave at this once! The evil

summoner is in the employ of my deluded

husband and has unleashed forces upon thine

truest Lord Arthur.

Make haste my love to me, for I fear for

my Life.

|Left in Kitchen in Carteloise:

My Dearest Love, Kay,

You canst reach me, for the agents

of the Wytch in league with the summoner have

taken me.

I am lost, but my love, I shall always

carry thine soft words and glorious desire

within mine hearte.

Do not ye despair. I promyse a return to thee

afore long.

Julia Sarah Allia

Queen of Castle Carteloise

|On a bonecrusher
[oddly, you are able to easily interpret the latin on the parchment...]

blue tongue of fire carry the

armies of the sixth plane into

the hearts of Arthur and

his servants...

blue tongue of flame smite them

where they sleep and bring

mine vengeance to me at last!
