Epic quests are the grand narrative of Karadiyar, the wars, miracles, heroics, and follies written into the world's history. They are not picked from a rotating board like city or time quests; they unfold as a personal storyline unique to your character.
A tale in books
Epic content is organised into books and chapters. Each quest advances a chapter of the larger saga. The story of Karadiyar is said to be hidden within the libraries of Tien and Sinraen, some pages remain secret even to the Elves.
From the Epic Quests screen you can follow your active quest, preview the next available chapter, and browse the library of lore you have unlocked.
Published books
The saga is released one volume at a time. Each book stands on its own, yet every chapter prepares the ground for what follows.
Book 1: Shores of Hope
Your first volume begins where every adventurer starts, as a newcomer learning how Karadiyar truly works. Under the guidance of your faction's mentors, you run errands, sharpen your skills, and step onto battlefields you once only dreamed of. *Shores of Hope* is the story of proving yourself worthy of the name you carry. It closes on a distant shoreline where one journey ends and a greater calling begins.
Book 2: Shadow of Vael
After Shores of Hope, the second volume opens when the world grows restless again. Trouble stirs beyond the horizon, and Karadiyar asks more of those who survived their first trials. *Shadow of Vael* draws you toward distant shores, harsher tests, and a deepening shadow over the realm. Finish Book 1 to unlock it from the Epic Quests screen.
More to come
This is only the beginning of the epic storyline. Further books are written and released over time. Keep your notifications on so you do not miss the next chapter when it arrives.
How they differ
Epic quests play by their own rules:
- They progress through objectives rather than a single button press, visiting a city, speaking with a hero, completing a number of hunts or city duties, gathering resources, or reaching a skill threshold.
- Only one epic quest is active at a time. Finish its objectives, claim your rewards, and the next chapter becomes available.
- Objectives update as you play the rest of the game. A hunt you complete for fatigue rewards may also advance an epic goal silently in the background.
- Some goals check your current location, inventory, or stats when you interact with the epic screen.
Faction and heroes
Your good or evil alignment shapes which heroes guide your story. NPC mentors differ between sides, and certain objectives point you toward allies or enemies appropriate to your banner.
Rewards
Epic quests grant chapter rewards and sometimes book-completion prizes when you finish an entire volume of the saga. Claim them from the epic screen once every objective is marked complete. Some rewards also unlock racial traits that were hidden until that chapter. New books arrive over time. Keep notifications on if you do not want to miss the next chapter.
