Quests

You’ve been humbled and shamed, over and over, all summer long, and achieved next to nothing! You’re chasing after dreams and fancies! You’re like a man who prances around all day, skipping and dancing, just to get attention! Yes, that’s your game! To get people talking you go looking for what can’t be found! How wise is that?! Gerbert of Montreuil, Gerbert’s Continuation of Perceval

A type of Motif that has one or more wheels. You can advance the wheels on them in Montages and other events, when relevant¹; or negative ones may be advanced against you as a penalty.

The quest is achieved when one of its wheels is complete².

Other than that, it’s a standard Motif. They can be put into Doubt or you can infuse them with Fame and Riches, though you don’t have to (they don’t need that to progress).

Quests are good for representing longer-term efforts and tasks you work on over the course of days or years. One major use case is developing Improvements on your Estate.

1. This may have requirements and limitations, like limits on how fast it can advance. ↩

2. This can trigger a reward or penalty, change to a new Motif (perhaps a reputation for how it completed), gain you some new perk, or even start a new Quest. This is a vague and flexible system. You also may sometimes end them early, end up expanding/reducing the Wheel or adding a new Wheel to the same Quest, etc. ↩
