I hope that you few who've read this from start to end could find a measure of enjoyment in it! It's very different from my usual writing, since I used it as an opportunity to unclog my writer's block. Probably the fastest solo I've ever written. Well, it's the second solo I've ever written, and the first one took 500 days, so it's not really
that hard to beat.
But yeah! Hope you liked it.
Oh, and before I forget or before this gets judged, this quest was taken from an eponymous mission found in the
Retribution Dawning Mission Board. Details were discussed with Flames of Hyperion after I claimed it through PM. Not sure if that changes anything about rewards, but that's mostly where I got the ideas for the spoils from (specifically from
this broken link in the Mission Board), so hey. ICly, it seems to be pretty important, but I guess I'll leave that to the people in charge.
Spoils
Wilwarin's Signature - A rapid melody that allows for the player to summon a swarm of sorcerous butterflies. Their wings glow an ethereal blue, and their flutter is accompanied by a sound much like the crackling of electricity. In large numbers, they are small and individually deal medium shocks, but they are larger in small numbers and can stun and cause a notable level of pain by electrocution. The effects of the song are best with a flute or when sung, but a very small fraction of the tune's potential can be used with finger snaps or hand claps. (Exact numbers to be determined either by judge or by the RoG mod).
Crude Maple Flute - A simple flute crafted from maple. It has no special properties. It was a gift from Rávion.
Valdaglerion Flute-Blade - Crafted from an unknown crystal, this flute is imbued with the magic of Valdaglerion soundsmiths, allowing it to transform into a flute-blade with a rapid swing or a strong grip. In its blade form, it still has apertures for wind to pass, allowing for the use of toned-down song-magic in combat. The use of song-magic through the flute form, however, enhances its effects by 1.5x. It was a gift from Rávion. (Strength to be determined the same way).
The equivalent of 4 shirts or 2 jackets (4 spools) in her magical black-silk cloth, as stated in her ability,
Seamstress of the Sinister. They approach the strength of dehlar.
And the last spoil... isn't for me.
The Return of Orophin Súrion - I request that he may officially rejoin the ranks of the High Bard Council (of which Nalith is the only purported survivor). This would entail actually returning to Eluceliniel with whatever army picks them up from Timbrethinil, and him being hailed for his feats of pushing back by months the recovery of the undead army and of burning down over two thirds of the corruption there (with some credit to Rav and Lily). Also, by that time, Rav will have made him a crystal blade-flute too, and one much better than the prototype he gave Lillian. Otherwise, I don't expect he'll do anything other than apologize to Nalith for not being there to support her, and, well,
actually start supporting her in battles and the such. Basically, it'd be cool if he started appearing places, and was written by other people as an official NPC of importance, maybe.
If there are any questions, qualms or doubts about the spoils, I would be glad to clarify through either PM or AIM (Username: Necathys).
