Community:Quests/Welcome Quest

The Welcome Quest is a quest for all people to see many towns and establishments. It is created every 6 months as a way for people to visit many player-ran locations. It involves each town and establishment to give the quest person some information and then instructions to go to the next location (a town or establishment) to do something. The path may be sequential from place to place or in parallel to multiple places at the same time. The goal is for towns and establishments to showcase their places, educate the people, and work with other player-ran towns/establishments.

Quest Idea Origin
Duke Greagoir came up with this idea just before the Pre-alpha Release 7. Many people agreed with the idea and also said "why not give it a try in Release 7".

How the quest works
Basically, you visit one town (or establishment) and look for a specific place, person, or item. When you find what you are looking for, you will need to do something (talk to someone, craft something, receive something, read a book, observe something in a room). After doing something at that location, you are sent to see another town (or establishment) again looking for someone or something specific to do or see. This continues to different places until finishing at the end.

There are variations on how this works:
 * Sequential: Start at one place, sequentially go to different places, and end at a single place. This works best when instructions are given at each place to go to the next place.  However, the chain could be broken if the quester can not find the place or the person at the place is unavailable.
 * Multiple: Start at any of several places and get instructions on what to do at many different places. This works best using a guide book of sorts.  There is no specific start or finish location, unless specified in the quest.
