long version (recomended because i put a lot of work into writing it and it's more interesting that way)
The christmass holidays brought many great things for all the people of MD. One such thing was the misterious drop of viscosity all over the realm. As a person who loves adventures i used that to wander all around the world to visit locations i haven't seen before and those that are normally hard to reach. On these travels i found myself standing inside the drachorn cave in Golemus Golemicarum. I'm a person who deply respects nature and love all the creatures that live in our world, so it really hurt me to see the great Drachorn being bound by chains inside his very own cave. I decided that i can not let such a magnificent creature suffer a fate so horrible and tried to free him. Sadly i didn't have the power to save him on that day, so he remains bound by chains to this very day. I realised then that i need more power to help me save him. There are many ways to gain power in the MD lands, and one of them is by gaining fame and recognition from others. If a person you know nothing about tries to rise to power you will most likely think something like: who does this guy think he is? But if it is a person you know and respect asks for your support in a movement like "free the drachorn" you will be much more likely to offer help and support. You will be thinking something like: "hey i know this guy, he gave me a really nice creature as a reward for completing a very interesting quest!" With this purpouse in mind i decided to make a quest for the newer members of our society (mp3 and fresh mp4). It will be a race to travel around our realm to different (often remote) locations in search of answers to all kinds of questions that i have prepaired for you. Every participant that completes the quest will be awarded 1 silver coin (sponsored by TK) and the first person to provide all the corect answers will win a creature from my personal colection. It is a very old creture that i acuired many years ago in my homeland (Loreroot) it has been my trusted companion for a long time and i couldn't bring myself to sacrafice it at an altar - it deserves something better something like a chance to help a new adventurer on his path. It's a great chance for those of you that have not yet beaten the guardians of my land to get your hands on such a creature (more rewards have been sponsored, see below). I will not however outright ban older (mp5) players from the competition, but i warn you that one of the questions might prove imposible for you to answer, also in the event that a mp5 wins he or she will NOT get the creature but instead will get another silver coin from my inventory and the creature goes to the second best. In the case of a mp4 player winning he will be given the choice between getting the creature or getting a silver coin (and the creature reward goes once again to the second in line). I hope to see many of you seize this oportunity for a great adveture and maybe, if you share my beliefs or if i gain a little respect in your eyes, you can join my movement and together we will help the drachorn reclain his freedom so he can once again roam the skies as he deserves (or at least get some rest without those nasty chains). The race will start at GoE (gazebo of equilibrium) on day 12.1.2014 at 20:00 server time. There and then i will give you all the instructions you will need. Welcome and good luck :)
