KIREI KOTOMINE is a member of the Diamond Coterie, given the titles Comer to the Void, Blessed Savior, and Defender of Innocents in the past (future) Drabwurld in recognition of his many feats. A religious leader of two churches in the Drabwurld, the Church of Leathann and the Eaglais na Solais, he also runs the Orphanage to Pol, dedicated to the God of Children. He is devoted to the causes of the Diamond Coterie and their given allies—Garnet, Amber, and Amethyst. He has a vested interest especially in the Gods and great Powers of the Drabwurld, including the Void. Kirei can give out quests at varying levels of difficulty for prizes and title rewards. Kirei's quests are open to any character in the game, at this time, and he is very willing to work with even individuals whose views are opposed to his.

I NEED A GOD
Quest Type(s): Gods, Research, Adventure

With a new Drabwurld comes new Gods—and Kirei is pleased to hear of them still present. There is a current, pressing, and well-advertised need to seek out information concerning these powerful figures, their methods of worship, and how to construct shrines to their honor. New shrines will hopefully fill the churches underneath Kirei's control, ensuring these Gods receive all they need from the people.

LOCATION: Various, the Eaglais na Solais or the First Holy Church of Leathann at some point.

REQUIREMENTS: 1.5K words of your character researching offerings and methods of worship to a particular God or Drabwurld figure (choose from the NPCs page). You will need to check in with the mods for this information. They must also construct a shrine of some sort inside one of the churches.

REWARDS: Your character's shrine will be a permanent fixture of whichever church they choose. See What are the quest rewards? for more.

WE ARE FAMILY (I GOT MY SISTER AND MOM AND ME)
Quest Type(s): Gods, Research, Politics

The Diamond Coterie enjoys alliances with both the Amethyst Circle and the Amber Congregation, and the reason why is soon apparent: their leaders are family. Kirei wishes for his followers to pay worship and respect to Shine's mother and sister as dearly as they do to her. The relationships that bind us to others are crucially important to maintain, after all.

LOCATION: Various! Diamond/Amber/Amethyst territory if characters travel.

REQUIREMENTS: 1.5K words of your character researching or discovering information about Brigid and/or Shade—anything, such as favored gifts, personality, etc. Higher wordcounts will net greater rewards. You must thread with at least two PCs who know something of either or both of them—please note that this isn't intended to be too difficult, because Shade was formerly the Unseelie High-Queen!

REWARDS: Potential for a later follow-up quest to attempt to build favor! See What are the quest rewards? for more. Extra—a series of enchanted golden and silver bracelets.

BLESS US OUR VOID NOT-VOID AND SAVIOR
Quest Type(s): Gods, Void, Art/Craftmanship, Politics

With entire sections of his congregation thrown back into the past, Kirei recognizes the need for a greater sense of unity among those who visit his churches or listen to his preaching. It is also the case that they must represent their religious leanings clearly to the wider Drabwurld population. In pursuit of this, Kirei has sought to commission a standard religious symbol that shall be worn by any and all who attend his churches.

LOCATION: Various locations.

REQUIREMENTS: 1.5K words of your character creating or pursuing the creation of a religious symbol to adorn Kirei's followers. Interaction with at least one arts- or crafts-inclined PC must be conducted for this quest. A visual design or description of the symbol must be provided! You may contact Dorian Gray (depicted) for this quest.

REWARDS: See What are the quest rewards? for more.

OOC: PLEASE NOTE. There is a chance the design will later be associated with Void worship!

VOIDIETALES
Quest Type(s): Gods, Void, Community

The orphanage and churches regularly provide shelter for multiple children. These children—in addition to being displaced from a different time, in the case of some of them—still struggle to understand the religion promoted by their caretakers. Kirei has requested the aid of a willing individual to begin teaching them about more spiritual matters in the Drabwurld—including the Void, because that word sure comes up a lot. (By the way, not all the "children" are human.)

LOCATION: Inside the Orphanage to Pol, the Eaglais na Solais, or the First Holy Church of Leathann. Player's choice.

REQUIREMENTS: 1.5K words of your character successfully leading the equivalent of a Bible study group for young Drabwurld children! Feel free to add your character's personal style and spin on it! Holding several sessions and/or involvement of PCs/NPCs will net greater rewards.

REWARDS: See What are the quest rewards? for more. Extra—a necklace blessed in the name of Pol, former God of Children, which soothes beasts.

IT'S OFF TO DWARVES WE GO
Quest Type(s): Gods, Politics, Community

As a gesture of goodwill between shardbearers and the native dwarf population, Kirei would like a traveler to personally deliver a copy of a thesis authored by a priest of the once-patron God of the dwarves into dwarven hands. Additional gifts include various religious trinkets of respect and appreciation. Any quest-taker will be briefed on the treatise's contents (concerning Gods and Avatars) in preparation for their journey and given any needed assistance.

LOCATION: Troichean Beinn

REQUIREMENTS: 1.5K words of your character traveling into dwarf territory and sharing the thesis of Baldemar with the dwarf population. A thread with an important dwarf NPC, such as Lord Oir, will net a higher reward, as will a greater wordcount and involvement of other PCs/NPCs. NPC threads must be requested.

REWARDS: See What are the quest rewards? for more. Extra—additional gold, sharing of other treatises.

I CAN SHOW YOU THE VOID
Quest Type(s): Void, Adventure

In pursuit of the presence of the Void, travel across the bounds of the current Drabwurld searching for it. Aerial transportation of some kind would be best for the mission.

LOCATION: The entire world map; or at least within the limits of what characters can foreseeably reach.

REQUIREMENTS: 1.5K words of your character adventuring aerially across the Drabwurld in search of any clue of the Void. Kirei can offer descriptions of the Void for those who need it. Extensive travel that may take quite a bit of time is assumed part of this quest.

REWARDS: See What are the quest rewards? for more. Extra—significant funds.

Questing is easy! Just follow these steps.

1. Reply to this entry with a comment requesting one of the quests listed above! All I need is a character name and some semblance of the quest title and you're good to go. Comments and comment threads are screened at first. I'll reply to comments to grant the requests and confirm the quest is yours. Once the request is granted by me, you can start questing!

2. Complete your quest! I'm available at any point to answer questions for you, provide information about the quest, or help you out with anything else that might come up.

Contact me on this page if you would like to handwave or discuss anything OOC-ly.

Keep in mind that all the quest requirements must be satisfied in order for that quest to be successful. Organize and write your character completing the quest as you will!

what are the quest requirements?

 

Standard requirements for game quests can always be found here! Every quest requires, at a minimum, 1.5K words of writing by you. I specify other requirements right in the quest listings, and feel free to ask if you have any questions!

█

what are the quest rewards?

 

I'm trying out something a little different with rewards. You complete a quest for Kirei, your character gets to choose from the list! Below are various rewards Kirei's capable of offering:

• jewelry, weapons, and other objects, blessed/etched with runes/otherwise enchanted for protection and other effects (please note: things like teleportation or invisibility enchantments would be very difficult for him to obtain)


• cursed weapons that resist healing


• potions, salves, and other healing items capable of treating multiple conditions


• magical training—in healing magic (self-surgery/miraculous healing magic), shard activation and shard magic level 1


• martial arts training


• sword throwing/ranged weaponry training


• clegs (fast, winged horses for travel)


• gold


• beautiful flowers and plants


• instruction in shrine-making or methods of worship


• standing in the churches, the orphanage, or Leathann


• WILDCARD OPTION if you just want me to pick something (or everything) and surprise you!

When you complete a quest and hand it in, and after I confirm the quest requirements have been satisfied, you can choose a mix of 2 from the list, we'll discuss it, then you're on your way with your own individualized quest rewards! Please note that I'm sure I've forgotten some things Kirei can offer, so if you want something else and it isn't listed above, just let me know and we can probably still make it happen.

what do quests do?

 

Quests allow your character to gain an IC reputation in the game world! Benefits of quests range from the awarding of unique titles characters are known by to building favor or establishing themselves in certain locations on the world map. They may even climb up the ranks of secret criminal circles or cults; come across rare lore, creatures, and events; and earn gold as well as valuable rewards!

Quests also let you develop CR and allow your character the means to carry out their own plots. I try to make the benefits of a quest clear in each quest listing!

█

any other questions?

 

If anything else comes up regarding a quest, you have questions, something's confusing, etc., just reply to this entry or send me a PM! :) You can always contact me on plurk at nasuporn, too.

Quest Title: APPRECIATING THE NYMPHS WE TOTALLY WIPED OUT FOR THIS ISLAND

[wwjd]

Quest Type: Gods, Art/Craftmanship
Quest Details: There's a long corridor down one side of the church that could use some sprucing up. Clean, repair, and generally fix it up to look nice! Kirei wants some sort of artistic memorial that could double as a shrine placed there, specifically to the Sisterhood that lifted Leathann in the old world—he is clear that the focal point of it must be a single sylph holding one green shard in either hand, with the Void swirling before her. Tell the children the story of Leathann (be truthful!) and christen the finished work with holy water and a sincere prayer—Kirei will provide the holy water, and Steve can watch worshipers around the church to learn how to carry out the ritual.
Location: The First Holy Church of Leathann
Requirements: 1.5K words of Steve repairing the hallway, making a memorial to the Sisterhood of Nymphs, telling the orphans the story of Leathann, and blessing the memorial. Extra wordcount will net extra rewards!
Rewards: A cleg, plus another reward of your choosing! Favor with Leathann. c:

For the church itself— What's on the Locations page is generally it! You can also look at this log and this log for more ideas. It's hollowed out of an abandoned building, so it has that sort of feel to it; a ramshackle church, just kind of put together, the stonework is pretty cracked and falling apart, etc.! The pews and altar and other features are very much just... assembled out of whatever they could find. The church would be decorated with colorful sashes and ornaments for Gilgamesh's oncoming festival!

For the ritual- Usually I just go with whatever makes sense, but you can assume Steve sees a priest/priestess sprinkling holy water over a shrine to Pol—which would be a golden statue of a child—and engaging in brief prayer. Steve will have to do prayer as part of his quest, and the main idea for that is to be sincere! There are no specific words he has to say or anything like that.

Does this work?

[starspangled]

this is beautiful, thank you!

[wwjd]

Great! Quest granted! Please reply back to this thread with all relevant links when you have completed the quest. Also, don't hesitate to let me know if any more questions come up that I can help out with. :)
