  • Hometown is an island run by the Novia Grand Tours Agency and Realty Company! (Marcus Gorn, proprietor.) Its star attraction, the Parade of Homes is a showplace for all the finest architecture available to settlers of our fair continent, many of whom are outlanders just like yourself! You can find Hometown (and you should!) on a small island just east of Soltown, off the coast.
  • Etceter is a city on the northern coast of Quel, west of the Perennial Coast. Many people journey there to gain passage to Elysium and Xenos!
  • Nightshade Pass is the pass between the Blackblade mountains and the Serpent's Spine, roughly in the center of Novia, east of Paladis. The Obsidian fortress of Hilt can be found there!
  • The Brittany Graveyard is just outside of Brittany, the largest city of Novia on the north central coast! It is not actually used by the residents of Brittany, but where the first group of outlanders from an age past are interred. You can talk to the groundskeeper to learn more about this curious place!
  • Mariah Overlook can be found near Vertas, in the Mariah Mountains! It once hosted a mummer's festival, but alas, the Amphitheater remains silent...

"Good day, avatar! We are still recovering from last month's Grand Tour shutdown. If you'd like to help, our Master of Hats is looking for assistance."
 

Asking about the Master of Hats will give you the quest.

"The Master of Hats is the designer of all the hats that the Grand Tour gives out! He is one of the greatest tailors in all the realm! He has put out an appeal for help, which is very rare for him! You can find him in Solania, at the top of the crafting hall!

Quest/Output Overview:

  • Yes, it was quite frightening! All our tour guides were captured by a group of kobolds in revenge for some bandits stealing one of their experimental cannons! Luckily, they were rescued and the kobolds have returned to their own lands. The Master of Hats is now trying to restart the Grand Tour!
  • Solania is on the shores of Lake Celestis, west and north of Soltown!


Head to Solania and speak with Chris Spears, Master of Hats.

"Greetings! And what might be your name?"
 

Answer him, and he will reply:

"A good solid name, that is. I am called the Master of Hats by some, and I have work for you, if you are willing."
 

Ask about work to continue the quest.

"As part of my contract with the grand tour, I am trying to restart production of enough hats for all in the realm who wish to take part. However, we're running critically short of the raw materials needed to start production! If you can bring me 30 pieces of raw staple cotton and 30 sheets of rich imbued leather hides, we can start work on making these hats immediately."

Quest/Output Overview:

  • My primary designation is Chris Spears, Master of Hats. Thank you for your inquiry.
  • All things considered, I'm in fairly decent health.
  • Well, that's what some call me. I prefer to think of myself as a craftsman. Through the years we have managed to come up with a wide variety of hats.
  • It's a special type of cotton that isn't used by many crafters, but we find it perfect for hat linings! I need 30 of them. If you have them collected, please let me know you are ready to turn them in along with the leather.
  • What we call "rich imbued leather hides" are what most leatherworkers pass over. It's best if you don't ask too many questions about what specifically they are imbued with, but just know it makes for the softest hat felt! I require 30 of these special leather hides. Please let me know if you are ready to turn them in along with the cotton!
  • There are some interesting things on the topic which I may talk about at a later date!
  • Combat's one of the most important things to understand in a dangerous world like ours! There is much work to be done to fully understand this...
  • Farewell, avatar!


Raw Staple Cotton can be harvested from any cotton plant, and Rich Imbued Leather Hide can be harvested from any creature that gives Animal Hides. Collect thirty of each, then return to the Master of Hats and say that you are ready to turn them in. A window for giving items to NPCs is displayed; drag both stacks of items to the right and click Give Items.

"Please hand me the 30 raw staple cotton and 30 rich imbued leathers now if you have them!"
 
"Thank you! I think that's enough to get the production lines moving again! Here's one of the first prototype hates for your trouble. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to think about skills and combat for a bit."

"Good day, avatar! I regret to inform you the Grand Tour has been cancelled."
 

Asking why it was cancelled will give you the quest.

"Unfortunately, all our tour guide automations have been kidnapped. It is really most peculiar. They were last seen being held prisoner by a group of kobolds in Quel, in the southwest of Novia. If you have a chance, could you look into what has happened? Thank you, avatar!

Quest/Output Overview:

  • It's gotten more difficult to hire human tour guides since so many kept getting captured. This month has been the worst yet. We really must upgrade the self-preservation routines in our operating parameters.
  • Why would kobolds take our automations captive? We have no aggressive programming within our default parameterized routines! It is most peculiar.
  • I'm afraid I can't be much more help on where these kobolds are. I'm sure there should be some sign of them in the area though. Kobolds are rarely seen in Quel.


Head to the Kobold Expeditionary Camp and speak with Commander Kormag.

"Hrmph. I will speak. I am sure you are here about our captives."
 

Ask about the captives, and he will reply:

"Yes, we took your robots prisoner. You humans send them everywhere and then case after them. We see they are important to you. Now we have them. We will have them until you return what is ours."
 

Agree to return what is theirs, and he will update your quest.

"H'RRRRR'K! A powerful kobold weapon was stolen from our armory! Humans cannot use it, only kobolds. But humans steal it anyway because humans have no honor and are thieves. Humans even steak from humans! HRR'RRK! You find this weapon. I do not know where it is. YOU FIND IT. You return this weapon. Then we will leave and let our prisoners go home. HRRR'RRK! Those are the terms of Kormag, leader of this expedition. I speak for Korabar! I speak for kobolds! You go now. Find weapon. Return weapon."

  • I am a soldier for Korabar, leader of the kobolds! HR'RRRK!
  • I am well enough to fight you, human! HK'RRRRK!
  • It is not often kobolds come this far into human lands. But we come with good reason. Something of value was stolen from us. When it is recovered, we will leave.
  • Korabar is our leader! KRRR'RRK! He is mighty and strong and leads all the kobolds! Strongest of us! Wisest of us! Most honorable of us! HR'RRK! You humans call him "king" but we do not need titles to give resect. HRRR'K.
  • Humans think we kobolds are feeble and stupid. HR'RRK. We know better. We will show you.
  • Kobolds mighty and strong! We rise, and humans fall! SKR'RRRRK! You will see!
  • Many humans do not show respect, SKRR'RRRK, they think we are stupid and puny and weak! We know differently, HRR'RRK. We are morally superior to you humans. Kobolds never fight wars among kobolds, and humans cannot say the same, HRR'RK!
  • How humans hold so much land without honor and being stupid kobolds do not understand. Perhaps humans breed too much. It is something for our wise men to study. Stop breeding, human.
  • Humans think we are weak, but humans are the ones who are weak! We work together, we build things you humans never understand! HR'RRK! We work together, we fight together. Humans do not know there things! You kill, you steal, you fight each other. Humans weak! SKRRR'RRK! You do not deserve respect!
  • You seek to free our prisoners. We seek something as well. We seek justice. You humans stole something of value.
  • Ask Norgard how weak we are! If you can find them. They seem to run away! SK'RRRRRK!
  • Norgard will fall! KRRRK!
  • Skrekk is our home, HRR'RRK! You must be very brave and honorable to gain entrance! SKRR'RRRRRK! Talk to the guards there, they will tell you! HRRR'RRRK!
  • Do not know. If I knew I send kobolds and they take it. You ask prisoners. They probably know. We cannot talk to them. They are stupid.
  • Stay out of our way, human! SKR'RRRRK!


Head down to the prisoners and speak to the human named Ned.

"Finally, someone who isn't a kobold threatening to kill me."
 

Ask him about the threats, and he will let you know what you need.

"They keep asking me about their stupid weapon. It's right where my boys left it, in the Etceter Crag Mines... I keep telling them... but they won't listen! They say everything I say is a lie because I'm a human, but then why do they keep asking me questions? It doesn't make any sense."

Head to the Etceter Crag Mines, and on the table just within you will find the stolen Nonfunctional Kobold Air Cannon (and some handy Notes, freshly written about it). Take it, return to Commander Kormag, and tell him you have his weapon.

"SK'RRRRK! Good human. I take that now. You might harm yourself. Here is a reward for you. It is a mask that makes you look not hideous. You will still stand bad and talk funny but you at least will not be so ugly. HR'RRRK! Prisoners can go now. We can go now. You go. Go."

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.
