A Colossal Quest

A Colossal Quest is a quest in the Shrine of Ages. It is available with the Giants Time Bracelet.

## Objectives and Rewards

   1x Giant Dust Spirit
    1x Untu Golem
    1x Piachi
    1x Guardian
    1x Takra
    1x Caravan

## Sequence

It is unlocked by the Ruins quest: Tunnel Locked On.

    x3 Kapir Tuft
    x3 Poison

A Colossal Quest unlocks nothing.

## Quest Tactics

Pace yourself. The Untu Golem will be the most challenging if you write onsite - 12 minutes is not much time to write 500 words. The Caravan will be the most endurance-demanding for lower-output writers, although if you have a sufficiently high Defense (like, anything over 16) you'll have 4 days to write 5K words, and if you can scrape >+44 Defense it'll be 5 days.

## Lore

Thanks to how the Shrine was created, it's much larger on the inside than the outside. If it wasn't, I would be squished by all of the giant creatures gathering in here. These are creatures I've heard epic battle stories about from other Dust Warriors, and it's time to make my mark by battling each one.

A Full Castle

A Full Castle is a side quest found in Dusted Castle.

    5x Velsoun
    5x Tareit
    5x Coikoi |     Castle Soldier Helmet (wardrobe)

## Sequence

It is unlocked by Dusted Castle main quest 13: Noanza's Aid

    7x Ziamna
    1x Velsoun
    4x Tareit |     Mercurial Sword (battle item)

A Full Castle unlocks nothing.

## Lore

The Castle must have been full of beings when it was still used by the actual King Mai. I can't believe how many of the attendants are still here and trying to serve the king, no matter that he's been controlled by Dust for decades. If they're going to hang around though, I might as well use them for sparring.
Betula

Betula is a creature that can be found in the Caretaker's Garden Expedition Area after completing the quest By the Roots! (1/2).

It first appeared as part of the Caretaker's Garden Event.

## Lore

There are creatures who Dust Warriors sense by smell and others by sound—Betula is one of the latter, and you can tell how mature the creature is depending on what type of sounds you hear. I've seen younger Betula chewing on the molting bark they strip from their hide, so if it's a moist, chewing noise, then they still have room to grow. Adults make a snapping and crackling sound; they break off protruding branches from their body and use them to wear down their always growing teeth. The cud becomes a great fertilizer, one the Caretaker greatly prizes.

## Drops

During the Caretaker's Garden Event, Betula also dropped Rescued Seeds and did not drop Dark Forest Leaves.

## Quests

* Caretaker's Garden quest: Mirrored Corruption (2/2) (1)
* Caretaker's Garden quest: Sounds of Chewing (5)
* Caretaker's Garden quest: From Tree to Tree (1)

### Historical Quest

* Caretaker's Garden event quest: Sounds of Chewing (4)
* Caretaker's Garden event quest: Mirrored Corruption (2/2) (1)

If you completed either quest during the Caretaker's Garden Event, it will not appear in the Caretaker's Garden Expedition Area.

## Location

During the Caretaker's Garden Event, Betula was found at the Healed Garden.

## Variants

**Corrupted Betula**
750 words/120 minutes
Alnu

Alnu was added as part of the Hunt for the Ancients in February 2020. They move around in the forest expedition areas, and only appear after completing the Elder Library quest: Joining the Hunt.

## Lore

Intelligence is another side of strength, one that many beings tend to overlook. Hunting down information, carrying knowledge at your side, and realizing the best time to use it... Alnu have spent their time honing this skill to perfection. While Sassi tends to swipe scrolls best for the current situation at hand (or, in a few cases, to sometimes spread chaos and watch things burn), Alnu are always plotting ten steps ahead. They keep watch, seeing which diversions others fall for, take notes on when a lie becomes believable, and often will use hope itself to illuminate the best path.

## Quests

* Hunt 2020 Season of Hope quest:Elder Library Assistants
* Hunt 2020 Season of Hope quest:The Curator's Family
* Hunt 2021 Season of Hope quest: Familiar Assistants Needed! (4)
* Hunt 2022 quest: Piecing Together Today 5/5 (2)
Athzein

Athzein is a Nezthai variant available in the Raina Sacred Site.

It first appeared during the River Festival.

## Lore

There's a new creature at the Sacred Site, but I'm a little torn as to why it decided to come specifically here. Athzein looks like a Nezthai was covered with cuteness paint. There are sweet smelling flowers covering it's back, and watching it interact with other creatures shows that it likes to play more than battle (not even mock fights). Part of me wonders at the plant on its head—is the Caretaker involved in this? Or was this little one lured here by the relic we buried at the base of the Raina statue? The Valley may never know.

## Drops

During the River Festival, it dropped Nezthai Claws, Leaves, Raw Stone, River Festival Tokens, and Hunter Tokens.

## Quests

* Raina Sacred Site quest: For Life's Mother (10)

### Historical Quest

* River Festival quest: For Life's Mother (10)

Note that if you completed "For Life's Mother" during the River Festival, it will not be available in the Sacred Site.

## Locations

During the River Festival, it was found in the Raina Sacred Site (Festival Version).
2023 Tiny Creatures Tutorial

The 2023 Tiny Creatures Tutorial was an interactive mechanism available at the beginning of the game which was meant to help new players understand how it works. It was introduced in March 2023, and removed in September of that year.

During the tutorial, the player was limited to executing the instructed tasks, such as clicking a particular button or writing words in a document, with other actions being inaccessible. It was possible to exit the tutorial at any time, though it was advised for most players to complete it for the additional quests and rewards.

The tutorial included quests and creatures which were not available in other parts of the game - exiting the tutorial before all quests and creatures were picked up has resulted in inability to complete them, as would dropping creatures/quests once the tutorial was completed. There was no way to access the tutorial using pre-existing accounts.

## Pre-Tutorial

Prior to the introduction of the interactive tutorial, most of the introduction to the game was done through YouTube videos. New players also had the ability to fight test battles before signing up, however these battles were not done in an environment similar to the actual game, and the different sections of the interface were not explained.

## Historical Tactics

In most cases, it was recommended to complete the tutorial as instructed - this resulted in access to all the quests and rewards included within it.

## Historical Quests

**Note:** These quests could not be picked up again if dropped!

Quests picked up during the tutorial could be completed once the tutorial is done.

This quest is completed during the tutorial

This quest is picked up during the tutorial

This quest is picked up during the tutorial

## Monsters

The interactive mechanics of the tutorial did not allow full, unlimited access to the Wilderness. Creatures could only be picked up once, but could be copied within the Battle List after the tutorial was completed. Multiple Tiny Wignow battles were only possible by sacrificing the ability to fight the other two creatures.

These creatures are not visible in the Compendium, but do count towards Masteries. They are not currently available anywhere.

**Note:** These creatures could not be picked up again if dropped!

    x1 Wooden Key

## Quest Tactics

Leafsung Boots are awfully valuable things to lose. But this is a pretty nice reward, especially if you don't have any Stempos yet. You can double up with Scouting The Trees.

Leafsung Boots can be crafted in Mama Tree at Alia of Air.

The Leaf Boots can be crafted in Luciola Forest at Kyiat's Shop and in Mama Tree at Alia of Air. They are also dropped from Wooden Chests (0-2) in Luciola Forest and (2-4) in Mama Tree.

Leafsung Ink can be crafted in Mama Tree by Alia of Air after completing the quest Make Attacks Sing in Luciola Forest. They are also found in Golden Chests (1) in Three Points Crossing, and in River Chests (1-3) in Balance.

## Lore

I've lost track of how far I've come since leaving Mama Tree; these old boots have served me well. Now, standing at the foot of the tallest trees, I feel that I'm supposed to be going up. Which means climbing boots. Ugh. Hopefully someone here has a pair to trade.
A Battle of Evolution

A Battle of Evolution is a Hunt for the Ancients quest. It first appeared in late September, but is considered part of the 2020 Season of Hope. It can be picked up in the Elder Library. It is the third in a four-part quest sequence:

1. A Battle of Wills
2. Battle of Merit
3. A Battle of Constitution

Entering the season of Jubilee, Velts' feeling good about our efforts. Not only have we found three Ancients, but they're back to stay! Yet, the Bard is still missing... Velts is making me prove that I haven’t slacked off by fighting her one last time. "Concentration falters near the end," she said unsheathing a sword. "Prove me wrong, Dust Warrior."

Similarly, pick up To Starve a Predator before battling Kaija to farm Saliva Vials for Natural Medicine Collection.

#### Questbook Slots

If you have any quests in the form "fight any # monsters" you can finish them out quickly with 50-word Ardia battles (while also farming Ardia Dust for the Enlightening the Camp quest).

The following collection quests can be safely dropped or picked up only as needed to turn them in to keep questbook slots open:

All Dressed Up

All Dressed Up is a quest in the Shrine of Ages. It is available with the Marionette Time Bracelet.

## Sequence

It is unlocked by the Ruins quest: Tunnel Locked On.

    x3 Kapir Tuft
    x3 Poison

All Dressed Up unlocks nothing.

## Quest Tactics

Pick up Spooky Scary Supernaturals for the small overlap.

## Lore

Is there any sadder sight than a skeleton all dressed up with no place to go? Well, I guess that doesn't ring completely true since for all Zosimos, they're here in the Shrine and ready to party. Thankfully I'm equipped for these types of battles - I've brought both my weapons and my better pair of shoes for the dance floor.
Aracni

Aracni is available in Luciola Forest.

Aracni's word count used to be 400, and was decreased to 200 in early October 2023, and their time was similarly decreased from 80 to 20 minutes. In addition, their XP and drops were slightly altered.

## Lore

### New Lore

I rested against a Jacruor tree, and then saw a bright green, long-legged Aracni peer curiously at me. Greeting it, I expected a nip for my trouble, but all it did was bite the bark, sinking its fangs in to spit out splinters. Then, it pressed the side of its leg to the seeping, gelatinous elixir that was oozing out, funneling it to the small bubble pouches on its back. It repeated the process until all bubbles seemed near to bursting, then skittered away, shooting dubious looks the entire time. I wonder how long that bubbled food lasts them? Weeks?

### Historical Lore

Long legged and agile Aracni like to live around the roots of trees. They use receptors in their legs to suck out gelatinous elixir from cracks in the tree’s bark. They store this elixir in small bubble pouches on their backs, allowing them to live without food for months, sometimes even years, at a time.

## Drops

Before early October 2023, Aracni dropped 0-1 Wood, 0-1 Poison and 2 Spider Legs, as well as 84 XP.

## Quests

* Luciola Forest main quest 4: Spider Nest (1)
* Luciola Forest side quest: Helping Others (3)
* Luciola Forest side quest: Luciola Forest Creatures (1/2) (1)

Aracnu has its own variant: Poly Aracnu
Binoculars

Binoculars are an item found during the 2017 Untu Hideout.

## Lore

Gold rimmed, with finely crafted lenses, the craftsmanship on these binoculars make them a rare treasure in the valley. They were probably used by Lord and Ladies to oversee the pirate work from a distance, they way they like it. Within the valley they might not be of too much use, due to the high density of dust. They might, however, come in handy when traveling to a distant location.

### Dropped by

Artux

Artux is a creature in the City of Light. They are unlocked after the City of Light side quest:  Payment for Chronicles (4/10).

## Lore

It's easy to see that Artux must have been an amazing warrior—we called her from her statue and she emerged ready to fight. I wish I could have met both of her wives, too, I'd love to see the how the three of them interacted. I'm also glad we talked with her before talking with Maliki. She was able to explain the true history of her deal with Maliki. It must have taken a lot of courage for them to forge ahead with their plan, and I hope she doesn't blame herself for all the deaths at the castle.

## Quests

* City of Light side quest: Artux's Army Accounts (5/10) (1)
* City of light side quest: There's Something Strange (4)
* Hunt 2022 quest: Reflecting on Words 3/5 (3)
Assassin

Assassins are 7 Moon Clan warriors, available in Mama Tree after completing the main quest Elder Library. They are also available in Three Points Crossing.

The Assassin's word count used to be 1400, and was decreased to 600 in late June 2023. Then, in early October 2023, the Assassin's word count decreased again from 600 to 500 and their time decreased from 130 minutes to 45 minutes. In addition, during both alterations, their XP and drops were changed.

## Lore

I thought Assassins were paid "problem solvers," but the few I've seen here in Mama Tree are different. All of them are from the 7 Moon Clan. What little I've found says that in the times before Dust, there were several nomadic desert tribes who used to trade at 3 Points Crossing. They saw the Dust as a magical miracle, and Dust became studied, explored, and finally a religion. Six other tribes saw their power, and decided to join them. Recently, worship isn't enough. I heard rumors at the Great Library that they want the whole Valley covered in Dust.

### Historical Lore

Assassins are the scouts and undercover warriors of the 7 Moon Clan. A nomadic tribe that formed shortly after the dust appeared. The tribe saw the arrival of the dust as a miracle, a message from their Gods that they would soon return to convert the entire world into one giant desert. The dust became a religion to be explored and studied, its powers used to their advantage as they prepared the world for the arrival of their Gods. Others joined their cause when they saw the power the dust worshiping tribe had gained. Eventually seven desert tribes from the North united to for the 7 Moon Clan. Everything north of 3 Points Crossing because their territory. The dust gave the tribes a joint cause, a reason to organize. The goal was simple: complete devotion to the dust, so that with the help of their Gods the entire world could be converted into a single desert.

## Drops

Before late June 2023, Assassins also dropped 0-1 Wooden Key.

In early October 2023, Dust, Poison and Coins were added while Wood and Steel Dagger were removed.

Irsea

## Lore

With all the Irsea coming back, I'm going to defeat 10 of them for my personal notes. Do they fight aggressively, like Mawts when cornered? Do they have some kind of sense that allows them to stay just out of reach of my attacks? (Rudakai, I'm looking at you!) I might even be able to compare my notes with Nabia.

A Seedy Battle is a side quest in Tempest Area. It is available as soon as Tempest Area is unlocked.

This quest first appeared during the Sky Tournament. If you completed it then, it will not appear in Tempest Area.

This quest has a wardrobe reward.

*Historical*
 No Variations

## Sequence

It is unlocked by Floating City of Balance side quest: **Tempest Trailblazing**

A Seedy Battle unlocks nothing.

## Lore

It's interesting that more than one being here has seeds in battle. Looking at that further, it feels as if they're both polar opposites. Hizzaa guards her seed; Malstra uses his. Malstra creates seeds, and has more than one, while Hizzaa has been given her single seed. Battling them both might help me see if there are any more similarities.
Ascre

Ascre is a Sacer variant available in the Dark Forest Outpost.

## Lore

At first, I thought I saw a Sacer from Luciola Forest, but after close observation, it's clear they're not identical and it's possible they're related. Maybe more of a distant relative. Suwö called it an Ascre, and it's about twice the size and three times as dangerous as its smaller relative. Due to how it walks, all legs have begun to crystallize Dust, hardening and sharpening each tip for a better fight advantage. It's also been here long enough to pick up on the pink ground being a better shade of camouflage than dark brown would be in this Forest.

Arenica

### Drops

Raw Gold, Glass Shards, Glass, Golden Chest, Red Dye, Desert Stone, Sacred Feather

Arenica is available in Gansu Watering Hole after completing the second main story line quest, Lorsa Nest Network.

Arenica is the only source of sacred feathers until deep into the game.

## Lore

### New Lore

I woke up too early this morning, sometime before the sun dawned, but when I saw it, I was in awe. The Arenica is beautiful to look at, but with the morning light glimmering from the jeweled, every color feathers that make up its wings. I've seen some colored glass before, back in 3PC, but this was so much more. The colors glowed... the bird itself seemed a child of the sun, spiraling in a streak of red to hunt a breakfast of Ylly. Thinking back, even now I seem to have a brighter fire inside me, a stronger confidence.

### Historical Lore

The Arenica is a sacred bird to the valley people. Legend says, early in the time of the ancients, the world had no color, just form. An artist among the ancients was selected to give color to the world. For this mission, it chose the Arenica as its companion. Underneath the Arenica's wings the artist hid his colored paints, and together, they roamed every corner of the world, painting it as they moved through it. The last thing to be painted was the Arenica's wings. The artist painted its faithful companion with every color possible, and outlined its wings golden, so that all would know the sacred task the Arenica had helped complete. After traveling the entire world the Arenica chose Gansu Watering Hole as its final resting place. A lone watering hole lost somewhere in the middle of the desert, a place where it, and its children could live and rest in peace.

Biironk

Biironk is a marionette creature that first appeared during the 2018 Carnival event. It can now be found in the Shrine of Ages with the use of the Carnival Time Bracelet.

During the Carnival, it required 720 words.

## Lore

The masked marionette appears only in the forest, and it's tough to know if they're trying to help others of their kind, or if they're just in it for the battles. Their coloring (to me at any rate) is like a perpetual energy machine: the energy and refreshing green in a continuous chase after a pink spark that lights up with vitality, passions, and vigor. There are a two necklaces looped around their neck, one yellow and one blue (opposite of their hair... interesting), which means they've won two battles. But I don't feel like adding to their winner's bounty.

## Drops

During the Carnival, they dropped Carnival Tokens, Confetti, and Piñatas.

## Quests

* Shrine of Ages Carnival Time Bracelet quest: A Carnival Festival (1)
* Shrine of Ages Carnival Time Bracelet quest: Cut the Strings (2)

### Historical Quests

* Carnival quest: Family Picture (1)
* Carnival quest: Seeing Double (2)

## Locations

During the Carnival, they could be found in the Marionette Forest.
Blisk

Blisk is a monster found in the City of Light after completing the City of Light main quest 7: Chains that Grind.

## Lore

Blisk reminds me of a lot of merchants I've seen around the Valley, like Edrie and Alex, since he's short, furry, and wearing a hat. The one he's wearing—his ghost's wearing?—looks like it would be good for traveling. He said he was an older being in his merchant clan, polishing stones made from Dust for others to sell and trade in the Valley. What happened was that when Dust first appeared, using it seemed like a great idea. It allowed Shamans to use magic above their natural abilities and even meant they could lend their magic to non-Shamans.

## Quests

* City of Light main quest 8: Blisk's Stone Stories (1/10) (1)
* City of light side quest: There's Something Strange (4)

### Wardrobe Reward

*Historical*
* Meteoroid Expedition quest: Aid the Wordsmith (Fleet Cadet 5/5)

## Sequence

It is unlocked by the Impact Crater quest: Aid the Wordsmith (Fleet Cadet 4/5).

Aid the Wordsmith (Fleet Cadet 5/5) unlocks the Impact Crater quest: Aid the Wordsmith (Fleet Officer 1/4)

## Quest Tactics

This quest chain is a legacy of two monthlong events, and it was designed to keep hyper-fast writers busy for those two month long events. Keep that in mind, and try to just enjoy having these in your Questbook and occasionally earning a new shiny spacesuit.

## Lore

Navigator Raysi, Log Five I was concerned about the need for more words since the festival celebrates at 50k, but it seems there are many Dust Warriors that Captain Piak would call tenacious. This should be my last call for aid. One last 25k will complete my data sheets and allow me to calculate the force for a successful liftoff.

## Lore

The tailors in the Valley are a group of beings that can very much hold their own. They keep talking about "defeating seven in one blow," but when asked seven of what, they switch the topic to something, anything, else. I'm going to brave the tailors and see if I can one up their accomplishment by defeating 8 of each.

## Objectives and Rewards

x20 Wood

x10 Rope

x20 Leaves

x5 Raw Fabric

x1000 Coins
Min. Level 10
    Unlock Gansu Watering Hole

Unlock Azadi as Companion

x15 Desert Stone

### Side Quests Unlocked

It unlocks the Luciola Forest side quest

* Enter Pan's Labyrinth

It unlocks 3 Three Points Crossing side quests:

* A Way North: Up the Mountain
* Luciola Materials Collection
* Lighten the Load

It also unlocks 12 Gansu side quests:

* Battle Experience
* Watering Hole Puna
* Desert Rudakai (Quest)
* Snake Pit
* Tougher with Tambo
* Sacred Feathers (Quest)
* White Coat
* Stone Collector
* Bare Bone Communication
* Sign of the Times
* Tears of the Custra
* Sacred Feather & White Fur Run

## Quest Tactics

Most of these materials are simple: "fight Xin and Awa". And while you're fighting Xin, sell River Grass like there's no tomorrow. (We're approaching the time when you'll need River Grass, same as you've discovered uses for Raw Fabric, but it's still pretty safe to sell down to zero.) This is a good time to skim through the various sidequests and figure out what else you might want to collect at the same time.

Wooden Chests are also good sources for these materials.

## Lore

I thought we'd be staying in 3PC longer, but the winds of fate are moving us to Gansu Watering Hole... as long as we can pay Azadi for their guidance and use of their Tambo. I think they're asking too much (1,000 gold pieces!), but Suwö took me aside and told me that with the Eternal Flames down, any price is a good price. Azadi is asking for a mix of all types of materials, it was understandable for Zuly needed to craft our disguises, but what is Azadi going to do? Sell the items at Gansu?

A Darkened Forest

A Darkened Forest is a side quest in Base Camp.

## Objectives and Rewards

   x25 Dust
   x3 Leaf Boots
    x5 Rope |     x1 Wooden Chest

## Sequence

This quest is available when Base Camp opens.
It is unlocked by the Mama Tree side quest: New Adventurous Horizons.

Unlocked by Mama Tree main quest 4:Aid to an Elder

A Darkened Forest unlocks nothing.

## Quest Tactics

As you please. Pretty obvious what the costs/benefits are.

The Leaf Boots can be crafted in Luciola Forest at Kyiat's Shop and in Mama Tree at Alia of Air.

Leaf Boots Require

## Lore

An expedition into the deeper, darker recesses of the Forest is being planned... which normally wouldn't be a problem, since there is a Lighthouse to light the way. It's gone dark though, and rumors are saying that there's trouble along the paths. Intriguing... time to check supplies and scout around!
Azadi

Azadi is an NPC who eventually becomes your Companion.

They can be fought in the Shrine of Ages with the Merchants & Tailors Bracelet.

## Lore

Azadi, a playful genderfluid being, didn’t get her nickname, the desert flame, by chance. A life spent acquiring rare antique items earned him that nickname: her red scarf, swirling in the distance, as he made off with your precious treasure, the flames of anger flowing in those tricked. When she is not trafficking, stealing, spying, or killing, Azadi cares for his bird, a white Papple, the last in existence. As long as you don’t tell her what to do, your head will stay on your shoulders. "Everyone has secrets. The difference between beings is how long individual secrets remain hidden."

## Quests

* Shrine of Ages quest: Clothes and Coins (1)
* Shrine of Ages quest: Clothing and Coins (4)
* Shrine of Ages quest: Silver Tongued Companion (10)

## Variants

**Dust Azadi**
2000 words/1440 words
Purple Gate
**Ghost Azadi**
1000 words/720 minutes
Cave

## Random Facts

Azadi uses several pronouns - they're mostly referred to as 'she/her' throughout the story line between Three Points Crossing and Dark Forest Outpost, and 'he/him' is predominantly used from Purple Gate onwards. As explained in the forum, this was done intentionally in order to portray the dynamic shift within the group, and a better understanding of Azadi's personality, and when certain pronouns should best be used.
Apprentice Fisherman

Apprentice Fisherman is a side quest in Riza Rivertown. It is available as soon as Riza is unlocked. It is the second of a three-part quest chain:

1. Amateur Fisherman
2. **Apprentice Fisherman**
3. Water Tribe Stripes

## Sequence

It is unlocked by Riza Rivertown side quest: Amateur Fisherman

Apprentice Fisherman unlocks the Riza Rivertown side quest: Water Tribe Stripes.

## Quest Tactics

If you're up to it, I'd advise fighting 8 of these fish in one day. The quests count Patliadu fought at any time that same day, even before you picked the quest up. So if you stack them, you can take care of the 3 needed for part one, then pick up part two and also count those 3 towards the 8 you now need. Finish all 8 and you can pick up part three, and now you've got 8 of the 15 done! Then finish those last 7 at your leisure. There's also a set of side quests in balance that require fighting 4 and 5 Patliadu, respectively, and you can get get most of your 7 done then.

## Lore

Now that you're more comfortable with water battles show Pina you can handle the slippery and aggressive Patliadu like any good water tribe member could. Defeat it eight times in battle. As a reward she’ll give you a Stone Key.
Become The Trees (1/2)

Become The Trees (1/2) is a side quest in Mama Tree. It is the first quest in a two-part quest chain:

Mama Tree Background

It unlocks the Mama Tree side quest Something Extra (2/2).

    25x Coins |     Kuay Earrings (Wardrobe)

## Lore

The best warriors are able to use their surroundings to their advantage. I can't think of a better way to fight creatures in the area than to look like the trees around me and the Kuay shirt designed by Gorgi is perfect camouflage!
Bridge for the Future

Bridge for the Future is a side quest in Cave. It is available as soon as Cave is unlocked.

## Objectives and Rewards

   15x Reinforced Rope
    10x Steel |     Tacin Crown (Wardrobe)

## Lore

There's a lot to explore in this cave system and for any future Dust Warriors that ends up here, I'd like to make it a bit easier for them to move around... and the best thing I can think to build would be a bridge for easy access to the highest area. It's a great spot for sleeping and observing.
