Trivia
Early during R14, you might also get a response of "I also noted that I have already spoken to one of the tour guides as part of starting the quest" when speaking to the tour guide in Brightbone Pass. This would create a duplicate journal entry, as shown above, noting the original name for Wyrmsands, Bloodsands. Owl's Nest was also a destination, in place of the Grunvald Shardfall.

Reward
Players who complete the Grand Tour are flagged to receive a Hennin.
