The Lord of Tolls demands prayer, constancy and simplicity from His servants. We owe Him all that we are, but if you strive to repay your debt He will guide you through the dark places.

The Barefoot Friar thrives in adversity and may call on his Sanctity to overcome challenges.

Rosling Abbey is far behind you, now. You walk along dark paths. But He is by your side.

The Bellringer's Tomb

The Bellringer brought the Toller faith to your home of Gallowmoor. His faithful carved his tomb from a mountain's foot.

Airic performed three miracles with his Bell.

The first: he drove the wolves from Gallowmoor.

The second: he shattered King Ethred's bloody throne.

And the third: he called all the faithful to the mountain peak, before the Queen of Fires descended to lay waste to all of Gallowmoor.

Always

Always

Save the tanner's daughter

Lured by the bell, she entered the tomb. She hasn't emerged.

This is an easy quest, suitable for starting characters.

Retrieve the saint's bones

The abbey has fallen on hard times. A relic would give the friars solace and - just as importantly - attract the pilgrim trade.

This quest is of moderate difficulty.

Retrieve the Bell itself

It's said there's one miracle left in the old bell.

A challenging quest for advanced characters.

The Outlaw

The althing has condemned them to the gallows, but the outlaw has fled where they think no one will follow...

This is a minor quest that can be undertaken in any dungeon. You can choose a difficulty and the game will select a random quarry and a twist to complicate the pursuit. It's less story-focused than the major quests, but is highly replayable and a good way to gain experience before trying a more difficult quest.


Ymma

Her name is Ymma, but the crueller villagers call her 'Carthorse', because she's wide-shouldered, long-faced and simple. But she's innocent, and her flat whistling lifts your spirits.

She won't last long in the tomb without help. You have to find her and bring her home.

You have moved to a new area: The Bellringer's Tomb

The letter

He knew better than to try and change your mind, but he couldn't keep himself from leaving a few words of wisdom for you. The letter said he'd pray for your return, and was weighted with one of his charms - a tablet of clay, engraved with magic words.

That was your father: piety and paganism, side by side.

Spirit has not changed from 10 because it's higher than 9.

The Path through the Woods

The woods, they said, hid things that could not bear the sun's touch.

Thwarted

A very chancy challenge

You followed old hunters' trails as deep as they'd take you, and then waded into the green sea of the forest. The trees grew more gnarled, the sunlight rare. The wood closed in.

As hard as you tried, the forest barred your passage with thickets and brambles and thorns. While you were beating your way through them you noticed the shadows purple with evening. It was time to turn back, before night fell.

This is tested when you need to think clearly.

Where others were afraid, you were curious. You'd brave the moor at night and the river in winter. You lingered by the red ribbons tied to the trees of the Waywood. You climbed Harrow's Hill and spied on its lonely house. Your friends followed along or got left behind.

You've gained 1 x Boldness (new total 3).

You were a wild child, brave and reckless.

Learning the Giant-Tongue

You know something of the speech of giants.

An almost impossible challenge

You can almost remember the faint patterns of their runes

Perhaps, with what you now know of the Giant-Tongue, you could translate them...

Spend two Memories of Home for a chance to gain Forgotten Lore. The more you know of the Giant-Tongue, the more you can gain. If you fail, you will learn a little more of the Giant-Tongue.

            Unlocked when Learning the Giant-Tongue is:

A handful of lumbering phrases

A heavy word or two

A few dozen words, like rocks tumbling down a mountain

You understand its bones, if not its stony skin. Who else could say the same?

You manage clumsy sentences. It sounds like the earth grinding its teeth

A Secret Cider-Drinking Contest

You remember a fine day during harvest-time. [Actor] had a plan - to steal a flagon of cider, and find out once and for all which of you could best hold your drink...

A tough challenge

Down at the riverbank, where the willows draped their long leaves in the water, the grass was soft with buttercups and forget-me-nots. You lay in the shade and watched dragonflies hum over the slow surface. The sun tarried in the sky, and gave you plenty of time to doze and plot your excuses.
