Description

Chronicles of Logres

A hundred winters ago, King Arthur fought the usurper Vortigern on the high meadow of Logres. Dying from a coward's blow, Arthur drove Excalibur into Merlin's warded stone - and froze Vortigern beside it. Now Merlin lies wounded and hunted, and the sword waits for a worthy hand.

Chronicles of Logres is a story-driven quest built on the islands of Ruins of Logres.

The quest

  1. The bell in the mist - somewhere out in the world a faint bell tolls. Follow it to Merlin's cabin, clear out the Saxon raiders who have broken in, and find the old man hiding upstairs.
  2. Save Merlin - he begs for a healing potion as raiders close in. Hold them off and heal him in time.
  3. Cross the water to the isle of Logres.
  4. The sword in the stone - on the high meadow, among three great swords, Excalibur sleeps in the stone beside Vortigern's statue. Only someone carrying Merlin's blessing can draw it.
  5. The usurper wakes - draw the blade and defeat the usurper.

Features

  • Excalibur - a glowing legendary blade with its own Epic Fight skill, Judgement of Avalon.
  • Blade of Vortigern and the Crown of Vortigern - dropped by the usurper when he falls.
  • Saxon Raiders - hostile warbands roaming the islands, raiding supply carts and hunting Merlin.
  • Places to explore - Camelot in ruins, villages with markets, ruined chapels, Merlin's tower, raided supply carts, lone houses, harbours and coastal boardwalks, and old trails that carve across the land.
  • ~30 lore books - journals, letters, ledgers and orders scattered in chests, on lecterns and in item frames, slowly piecing the story together. Merlin's own journal waits in his cabin.

Requirements

Start a new world - the quest's places only appear in newly generated terrain. Install on both the server and every client.

Operators can check a player's quest progress with /logres quest status.

Optional extras

  • Luxium: if it's installed, its shadow-casting lights take Chronicles' colours. Not required.
  • Embeddium: the coloured lighting works with it too. Not required.

Credits

  • The coloured light mixing was inspired by FinalForEach's video on coloured voxel lighting.
