There are three hidden player quests in Vengeance for R18. If you say the correct keywords to Violation he will start you on these quests. Completing the first quest will gateway you into the next two. After you complete the second quest you are rewarded with 5,000g. If you are able to complete the third quest you get an additional 2,500g.

Tournaments
Community:Order of Vengeance is well known for their player events and tournaments in Shroud of the Avatar. They have been awarded a Royal Warrant for their service to the throne for combat related events.

History
With the mention of combat in Release 4 days Violation had the privilege to lead Lord British on his first combat mission in New Britannia. They went on a raid through the then "dragon fields" near Owl's Head. After roleplay and planning for the upcoming player-vs-player testing in Release 8 the organization of Community:Order of Vengeance occurred to facilitate the gathering of Guards for the player-vs-player tournaments to come.

With Release 8 came The Brave Coast and that's where Vengeance lived for the duration prior to moving into PaxLair for a role-play event that started in Release 12. In Release 8 the Order of Vengeance lead 1v1, 2v2, and grudge matches in The Brave Coast. They were the first group to hold each of those types of events in. With the lack of selection and need for testing many players came to their events and they helped refine and improve the combat system through data collection done by Chris Spears and team from Portalarium.

With Release 18 came Vengeance in the game as the 2nd player town and a new goal: hold a player-vs-player event every night for a month within the town. To date there has been a pvp event in Vengeance every single night since Release 18 was launched. Some of our pvp events are below.

Moon tower power
Team 1 is attempting to keep the tower powered ON... Team 2 is attempting to shut it OFF. After 15 minutes the teams will switch sides and purpose. Each time the judge will be attempting to keep an eye on the power and hopefully not get killed too many times. In the event he is killed there will be a pause to the event timer that will NOT be announced. The judge will call out when the time is up and suggests you do what you can to keep fighting for the tower until you see the text "TIME'S UP!" spammed in front of the moon tower.

Grudge matches
The Challenge List is a list of people that are waiting to fight. When you challenge someone you are both added to the challenge list and the battles will be carried out in the order they were initiated. You cannot withdraw a challenge until you are the top position on the list. Be careful! Withdraws are the only way to lose a point!

Siege the keep
Team 1 and Team 2 will be told when to start via whisper. Team 1 is attempting to guard and protect the Keep... Team 2 is attempting to siege the keep and open the Darkstarr Metronome. After 10 minutes the teams will switch sides and purpose. Each time the judge will be attempting to keep an eye on the Metronome and hopefully not be killed too many times. In the event he is killed there will be a pause to the event. The judge will call out when the time is up OR when the siege is successful and who opened the Metronome.
