Homeland Quests

Accept

“You. Refugee. I've watched you since you arrived - you don't cower like the others. Good. The Golden Fields are overrun with rabid wolves. Corruption's turned them feral. Kill ten. Prove you're worth training, and I'll make you something more than a victim.”

Accept

“The crows are next. Blighted things circle the refugee camps, picking off the weak. Fifteen of them need to die. Don't let them reach the children.”

Accept

“This one's harder to swallow. The farm animals - boars, mostly - they've turned. Same corruption that took the wolves. Kill ten. Collect their tusks if you can - the alchemists need samples to study the blight. Might help us fight it.”

Accept

“Refugees are moving to Pilgrim's Road. Last stretch before the safe zone. Problem is, that road isn't safe anymore. I need someone to escort them. Get them there alive. That's the mission.”

Accept

“Shadow Bandits. Scum who prey on desperate people. They've set up along the road, robbing refugees of everything - food, medicine, hope. Twenty of them. Make it hurt.”

Accept

“There's something bigger out there. Scouts call it the Blight Beast - some kind of corrupted predator that's been stalking the fields. It needs to die. This is your first real test. Don't disappoint me.”

Accept

“We've got cultists now. Dark Pilgrims - fools who worship the corruption, thinking it'll spare them. It won't. Twenty-five of them are spreading their poison. Kill them. Collect their talismans for burning.”

Accept

“Briarwood Depths. The forest has gone wrong there - thorns that move, trees that watch. We need to know how deep the corruption runs. Scout ahead. Map the passage. Come back alive.”

Accept

“The Briarwood Horror. Something ancient lives in there - corrupted beyond recognition. Kill thirty of its spawn first, weaken its defenses. Then put the thing down. Don't hesitate. Hesitation kills.”

Accept

“Watchfire Ridge. Our last outpost before Valoryn. It's under siege. Twenty creatures need killing just to reach the gates. Move fast - our people are dying.”

Accept

“Commander Harwick. I trained with him. Fought beside him. Now he's turned - sold his soul to the Dominion for power. He holds Watchfire Ridge. He has to die. I'd do it myself, but... you're ready. End this.”

Accept

“Little one... the forest speaks your name in troubled whispers. Something stirs in the Dreamveil Hollow - nightmare sprites, born from corrupted dreams. Ten of them dance where light once played. Still their dark reverie, and perhaps we may yet save what remains.”

Accept

“The dryads weep, child. Once they were our sisters - spirits of bark and bloom. Now they twist and writhe, their beauty corrupted into thorns. Fifteen souls cry out for release. Grant them peace.”

Accept

“The corruption spreads through the roots themselves now. Thornvine Crawlers burrow beneath the soil, spreading poison to every tree they touch. Destroy ten. Gather their corrupted roots - I must understand how deep this sickness runs.”

Accept

“There is a place where dreams pool like water - Whisperwood Descent. In brighter days, we walked there to seek visions. Now nightmares gather at its edge. Find the path. Tell me what dreams have become.”

Accept

“Dream Leeches... parasites that feed on sleeping minds. Twenty of them have nested near the Descent, gorging on the dreams of every creature that passes. They must be culled before they spread further.”

Accept

“Something ancient has awakened in the Hollow. The Dreameater - a creature that devours not flesh but the very capacity to dream. It grows stronger with each mind it consumes. End it, before it takes the forest's last hope.”

Accept

“Whisper Stalkers prowl the mist now - predators that exist between dreaming and waking. Twenty-five of them. When you strike them, gather the dream essence they release. Even corrupted, it holds power we may yet purify.”

Accept

“Beyond the mist lies Thornveil Passage - where protective walls of thorn have turned against all living things. The path must be opened, little one. Find a way through where the thorns sleep.”

Accept

“The Thornlord... once he was a guardian, weaving walls of protection around our sacred groves. Now his domain is a maze of pain. Clear thirty of his spawn, then face him yourself. I cannot ask this lightly, but I must ask.”

Accept

“The Rootwarden's grave stirs with wraiths - echoes of the ancient protector, torn apart by corruption. Twenty of his memories have become weapons. They must be silenced before we can face what remains of him.”

Accept

“What remains of the Rootwarden is no longer a guardian. It is wrath given form - rage at the corruption it could not stop, grief for the forest it could not save. Face it. End its suffering. And forgive yourself for what you must do.”

Accept

“You want to be forged? Then stand in the fire. Ember rats infest the lower peaks - vermin that think heat makes them strong. Kill ten. Bring back their singed hides. Then we'll see if you're ore worth smelting or slag to be thrown away.”

Accept

“Slag golems. Waste metal given form by the corruption. Fifteen of them shamble near the old furnaces. Useless things - can't be reforged, can't be refined. Destroy them. Prove you know the difference between worth and waste.”

Accept

“The forge wraiths trouble me. They were smiths once - good Darkan who died at their anvils and refuse to leave. The corruption turned their dedication into chains. Free ten of them. Collect the spirit embers they leave behind. We owe them that much.”

Accept

“Time you saw where true Darkan steel is born. Ironblood Descent - the deepest mines, where iron runs red with the mountain's blood. Find the path. Don't die in the dark like some soft-handed surface-dweller.”

Accept

“Ash Specters haunt the Descent now. Twenty of them - echoes of miners who didn't make it out. They need to be put down. No ceremony, no sentiment. Just steel through shadow. That's the Darkan way.”

Accept

“Something watches from Ember Peak. The Watcher - ancient guardian turned predator. It needs to die. This isn't about revenge or honor. It's about proving you can face something stronger and walk away with its blood on your blade.”

Accept

“Magma spawn crawl through the tunnels now - corruption given volcanic form. Twenty-five of them. And while you're at it, gather Ironblood Ore. The war needs weapons, and weapons need metal. Don't come back empty-handed.”

Accept

“The Ashfall Barrens wait beyond the peaks. Nothing grows there. Nothing survives long. You need to cross it anyway. Find the path. Plant your feet. Keep moving. Stopping means death.”

Accept

“The Ash Titan. Something old and angry, corrupted by the same poison that took everything else. Kill thirty of its minions first - thin the herd. Then face the Titan itself. This is the fire that tests the blade. Don't shatter.”

Accept

“The Smoldering Gates guard Redmire's heart. Smoldering Hounds patrol there now - corrupted beasts that burn hotter than any forge. Twenty of them. Clear the path. The real enemy waits beyond.”

Accept

“The Gatekeeper of Ruin. It was built to protect us. Now it serves the corruption. I helped forge the damn thing, centuries ago. Now you need to unmake it. Don't hesitate because it was once ours. Hesitation gets you killed.”

Accept

“The Eternal Light grants you audience, child of radiance. Yet even as we speak, fading wisps flicker at the edge of our sanctuary - corrupted remnants of what was once pure luminescence. Ten of these lost lights must be released. May your hand be steady and your heart resolute.”

Accept

“The Shattered Sentinels grieve me deeply. Once they stood as monuments to Anias's radiance - now they wander, broken and blind. Fifteen of them stumble through our sacred grounds. Release them from their vigil. It is the kindest mercy we can offer.”

Accept

“Shadow creeps ever closer to our heart. Twilight Shades - creatures born where light and dark war for dominance. Ten of them threaten our boundaries. When they fall, gather the light fragments they leave behind. Even corrupted light may be purified.”

Accept

“There is a path we once walked in pilgrimage - the Fading Light Trail. It led to places where Anias's presence was strongest. I must know if any light remains there. Walk the trail. Tell me what you witness.”

Accept

“Dusk Crawlers infest the trail now - creatures that thrive in the dying of light. Twenty of them feast on our fading radiance. They must be cleansed, or the darkness they bring will spread to Lumeria itself.”

Accept

“The Spire Desecrator has profaned our holiest monument. It wraps shadow around what was once a beacon to all Lumeria. This blasphemy cannot stand. Face it. Cast it down. Restore honor to the spire, even if its light cannot be restored.”

Accept

“The Eclipsed Seraphs pain me most of all. Once they were our most radiant - now they serve the shadow. Twenty-five of them guard the passage to the deeper dark. Free them. Collect the radiant crystals they release. Their light deserves to shine again.”

Accept

“Duskfall Passage lies beyond - where our light ends and true darkness begins. You must walk that threshold. See what waits on the other side. Return to me, whatever you find. I must know.”

Accept

“The Duskfall Horror heralds what is to come - a harbinger of total eclipse. Thirty of its spawn must fall before you face it. Then end the harbinger itself. Prove that our light, though faded, has not yet surrendered.”

Accept

“We stand at Twilight's Edge - the boundary between our last light and absolute shadow. Void Touched creatures patrol there, drawing power from both realms. Twenty of them guard the final darkness. Clear them. The way must be opened.”

Accept

“Twilight's End awaits - an entity of pure negation. It is not evil, not truly. It simply represents the death of faith, the end of hope, the final fading. Prove to it - prove to me - that the light does not end. That it cannot end. Not while one soul still carries it.”
