I just wanted to take a moment to point out a few things about the quests in the Return of the God Titan story arc.
Thanks for reading!

- For everyone's enjoyment I'm trying to make the quests as "open world" as possible. A lot of time has been spent to provide as much lore based elements as combat elements. Now please understand that doesn't mean your characters need find the lore or disregard the combat. It is your prerogative and play style, it is your choice.
- With those choices comes a certain level of consequence. Certain monsters may seem invincible because their details aren't known (Knowledge check perhaps?). Certain elements of lore, if found and put together, may bring about a completely different ending or series of events. Just like with quests and games that allow a sneak and learn vs loud and proud approach, this story arc is designed to have various elements, decisions and outcomes.
- This story arc is suppose be about one thing: fun. Through enjoyment of the quests, exploration and lore finding, straight forward combat, and not so straightforward combat this story arc is suppose to be an experience, a fun experience.
- I can see two main paths this story arc can go down from the beginning. It is all based on the actions, decisions and focus of the characters in the quests. There may be 3 or 4 more I haven't thought of yet or simply appear from the quests taking place in a certain fashion. Just as I designed this to be an open world event for the members it is also an open world event for me. I'm truly open to any resolution that may come, planned or otherwise. I of course have guidelines and general layout I intend to follow but if I get halfway through and realize that things have done a 180 that is perfectly ok with me and I'll adjust accordingly.
- As I wrote this I have used the term open world... I think a more appropriate phrase for what I'm trying to do is "Living World." I'm trying to create a quest environment and story arc that supports the concept of a living world that has secrets, history, consequences, and desire to understand.
- Hope to see everyone out there at some point or another!
