Quest Book

Part 3: The Road

Part 3 of the Nytheria quest book has two chapters, 34 quests, and sends you out to villages, ruins, dungeons and raids. Read what to bring, what each chapter pays and which quest opens Part 4.

Part 3, The Road, is the first part of the quest book that sends you away from home. It has two chapters and 34 quests: structure and biome tourism in Ruins and Rumours, and villages, trading and raids in Bells in the Mist. <!-- src: Q §1.2, §2.3 -->

The part opens when you complete Where She Went, the gate quest at the end of The Marked Road in Part 1. Both chapters open together, so you can work on them side by side. Completing Bells in the Mist, the capstone of the second chapter, is what opens Part 4: The Deep. Ruins and Rumours is not a gate, so nothing else waits for it. <!-- src: Q §1.5, §2.3 -->

The book uses flexible progression: work you do early still counts, but a quest completes only once the quests before it are done. See Chapter Gates & Book Order for the whole chain. <!-- src: Q §1.3 -->

Every optional quest in this part is a hidden one, so the visible quests are all required. The quests named in this page are the visible ones; the hidden quests appear only in the spoiler blocks at the end. <!-- src: Q §2.0, §1.4 -->

Ruins and Rumours#

Places worth a day's detour, and the maps to prove it. <!-- src: Q §1.2 -->

What you do#

This chapter is a tour. It has 19 quests, 16 of them required, and its first quest is The Extra Day. The first half sends you to villages, a fire tower from Structory, a shipwreck where you find a nautilus shell, an X-marks-the-spot treasure map that gives a heart of the sea, and five biomes: mountain, badlands, jungle, savanna and taiga. <!-- src: Q §2.3 -->

The second half visits a small dungeon from YUNG's Better Dungeons (Fabric), the Greenwood Pub, a lighthouse, an old manor, a mage tower from Terralith, the Coliseum, and ends with a mimic kill. Visible quest titles include Five Horizons, A Stranger Country, The Mage Tower, The Coliseum, The Greenwood Pub, The Lighthouse, An Old Manor, X Marks It and A Wreck. <!-- src: Q §2.3; data/quests.json titles -->

The capstone, The Hill's Far Side, wants six filled maps, a written book and a read at a lectern. The lectern read is a custom task that the quest marks as optional, so the quest can finish without it. <!-- src: Q §2.3, §3.2 -->

Structure tasks count when you stand inside the structure, and the pack's QuestBridge setting also credits the structure's whole bounding box. <!-- src: Q §3.1 -->

What to bring#

  • Materials for six maps and a book and quill for the written book, because the capstone asks for both. <!-- src: Q §2.3 -->
  • Food, a bed and a way home for the long walks between structures, and combat gear for a small dungeon and the mimic. <!-- src: Q §2.3 -->

Rewards#

  • Many quests pay a roll on a reward table: five Lamplighter's Cache rolls, four Kindling Cache rolls and five Traveller's Cache rolls across the chapter. <!-- src: Q §2.3 -->
  • The capstone pays a choice of one kit from Marks for the Road (16 lanterns, 4 notice boards or 6 white banners), a Lamplighter's Cache roll, 4 levels and 2 embers. <!-- src: Q §2.3, §4.4 -->
  • Chapter totals: 18 XP levels and 2 embers. <!-- src: Q §2.0, §2.3 -->

Bells in the Mist#

Trades, raids, and one bell worth ringing. <!-- src: Q §1.2 -->

What you do#

This chapter is about villages and the people who attack them. It has 15 quests, 13 of them required, and starts with Never Won a Bargain. <!-- src: Q §2.3 -->

First comes trade: a first trade (The First Emerald), a librarian's lectern with an enchanted book (The Librarian), and 20 trades in total (The Twentieth Trade). The Thing in the Cave asks you to look at a goblin trader for a moment. <!-- src: Q §2.3, §3.3 -->

Then comes the raid line: an ominous bottle, a pillager outpost with 10 pillagers (The Outpost), and the Illager Invasion fort in the snow (The Fort in the Snow), where you defeat an iceologer, 3 bashers, a provoker and an inquisitor. <!-- src: Q §2.3 -->

The capstone, Bells in the Mist, needs a bell, the Hero of the Village advancement and ringing the bell yourself. It is the gate that opens The Deep. <!-- src: Q §2.3, §3.2 -->

What to bring#

  • Items to trade, and a village with a librarian for the enchanted book and the twentieth trade. <!-- src: Q §2.3 -->
  • Combat gear and healing food for the pillager outpost and the illager fort, which hold 10 pillagers and a mixed group of illagers. <!-- src: Q §2.3 -->
  • A bell: the capstone needs one, and you ring it yourself. <!-- src: Q §2.3 -->

Rewards#

  • Emeralds, a crossbow, bookshelves, iron and blue ice, plus Lamplighter's Cache rolls on the illager quests. <!-- src: Q §2.3 -->
  • The capstone pays a cornflower, a Lamplighter's Cache roll, 5 levels and 2 embers. <!-- src: Q §2.3 -->
  • Chapter totals: 17 XP levels and 2 embers, from six Traveller's, four Lamplighter's and two Kindling Cache rolls. <!-- src: Q §2.0, §2.3 -->

Tips for this part#

  • Items are never consumed by quests, so the same lantern, bell or map can satisfy more than one task. <!-- src: Q §5 -->
  • Open each quest and click its rewards; nothing is claimed automatically, and each team member claims their own copy. <!-- src: Q §4.2 -->
  • Look-at tasks only count once their quest is unlocked, so finish the quest before it first. <!-- src: Q §1.3 -->
  • The ember rewards go to your wallet in the journal. <!-- src: Q §6 -->
  • Reward tables such as the Traveller's Cache also drop from hostile mobs, so fighting on the road adds loot beyond quest rewards. See Rewards, Loot Caches & Choice Kits. <!-- src: Q §4.3 -->
