Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • One of the quests in Evendim, on the island infested with salamanders, is about killing insects on the island. Why? The Ranger there thinks he saw one of them carry a salamander on its back while swimming(without a loss to mobility, as well!), and fears that if kept unchecked, the salamanders would be able to reach the mainland this way. However, the quest journal states that you fail to see how the insects would be able to carry the salamanders, the Ranger states mid-quest that he may have been imagining things, and when you do finish it, he admits that there is no way that it was actually possible, but thanks you for doing it anyway. Did I mention that the Ranger was on the island for a long time and with the self proclaimed "Greatest Lore-master Ever", who caused all of the salamanders to appear, and acted insane until the end of his quest series?
  • Another quest in Evendim involves drugging a giant's soup, causing several giants to hallucinate, resulting in several hilarious reactions.
  • In the Trollshaws, one quest chain revolves around collecting ingredients for a toad soup(yuck), making an "improved" version of the soup to the dwarf who gave the questgiver the recipe, and then giving the soup back to the questgiver, only for him to be tricked by the dwarf again. The chain ends with this line, after he says that he'll find a reward for you:

"No, no, do not look so panicked! I was not planning on giving you the toad stew!"

  • From the description of a quest reward from a Trollshaws quest chain:

"Wistan wishes you to spread the tale of how he isn't skilled enough to catch a cradle-robbing creature. How odd."

  • From the description of a pair of special srew-stomping boots, from the elves' Spring Festival:

"These boots were made for stomping, and that's just what they'll do. One of these days, these boots are going to stomp all over shrews."
