Celesta's Quests!

Celesta's Quests relate to the origins of the heroes of Castle Age. Currently Strider, Sophia, Dragan and Penelope have origin quests. Each quest is similar to a 'choose your own adventure novel' with different options being presented to the player.

As a player traverses a quest they earn experience and advance the quest's 'plot'. During a quest you will also receive Alignment Points. Alignment points come in three categories: Good, Neutral, and Evil. Often the color of the button to move from one area to the next reflects the alignment associated with that action. Alignment points seem to be what determines the reward you earn from successful completion of the quest.

It is possible to fail the quests depending on which path is taken a player receives no reward on quest failure. Succeeding the quest may reward a player with special items or Hero Medals. Hero Medal are specific to the hero who earns them, and for each medal earned by a hero their maximum level is increased by 1.

Strider, The Rogue Assassin
Origins: Strider - Learn the origins of Strider as he travels through the Land of Fire on a quest to complete his assassination contract!
 * Rewards
 * 14 Good Alignment points: Redeeming Light (+5 Energy when Strider is equipped)(Eq strider goodspell.jpg)
 * 14 Evil Alignment points: Amulet of Despair (+2 Attack to Strider)(Eq strider evilamulet.jpg )
 * 2x Hero Medal



You are rewarded one medal after completing the quest selecting the Good alignment choice when available. Your total Good alignment points accumulate to 7 at the end of the quest, with a total cost of 80 energy points. You are rewarded one medal after completing the quest selecting the Bad alignment choice when available. Your total Bad alignment points accumulate to 9 at the end of the quest, with a total cost of 105 energy points (because of the last choice which requires 10 X 3 energy to "Kill all the witness").

Neutral points do not seem to give any rewards, and even if they are needed to receive the other rewards combined with the good and bad alignment points, you will still get them as you need them to proceed certain steps of the quest.

Important!: Read carefully because you can fail the quests. At the point where you have to chose between "Lie" and "Ignore". If you select "Ignore", you are caught and fail the quest. Similarly, when you are presented with "Believe the barkeeper" and "Lies, Lies, Lies" the correct one is "Lies, Lies...",

Sophia parries the first few blows but one manages to slice into her side. A boot kicks Sophia to knees as a massive axe prepares for the final blow.

After squeezing through a particularly tough batch of vines Sophia emerges with her first real encounter, a large white fluffy animal staring straight at her standing about 3 feet high. It seems to notice the smoked fish in Sophia's satchel!

 * 3 Observe: Continue to observing. Uses 5 Energy. (Total: 10 Energy, +10 Exp,+1)
 * Yeti mother approaches!
 * As Sophia watches the cub eat the fish, its mother fast approaches, crashing through the trees. A massive ten foot tall snow yeti looms over Sophia and the cub. Sophia remains perfectly still, her instincts telling her running would not end favorably.
 * The giant yeti sniffs at the fish, sniffs at the cub, then looks towards Sophia. Sophia feels energy swirling from within... ready to unleash!


 * 4 Use: Use Power! (Total: 15 Energy, +15 Exp, +1)
 * Arcane Explosion!
 * Sophia decides to unleash the arcane powers screaming to explode forth. Time seems to come to a crawl.

Within moments the Yeti mother is sent flying back through the trees, lit on fire and screaming. The young cub is nowhere to be found.

 * 5 Fight: Fight! (Total: 15 Energy, +15 Exp, +1)
 * Battle the yeti.
 * The snow yeti charges Sophia, terrified and angry at the same time. With wild slashes and little thought to its own safety, Sophia is able to dodge the blows. Sophia lunges her small sword into the beast further damaging it. The yeti refuses to fall and continues its barrage of attacks. Sophia summons forth her powers again, unleashing a terrible blast of pure arcane magic. The yeti finally falls to the ground.
 * 6 Continue: Continue. (Total: 15 Energy, +15 Exp)


 * The waywatchers.
 * As Sophia regains her senses she finds herself with arrows notched and pointed at her, from shapeless forms in the trees above.
 * "Stranger you are to be taken under arms, for the slaughter of the native Yeti in this region. We are waywatchers from Triste, and this is the King's land. You will abide by our laws. Do you come willingly or shall we put you to rest?"

 * A rare gift...
 * Sophia decides to supress her powers, not wanting to harm the innocent yeti of the region. The giant snow yeti stomps towards Sophia, its breath reeking of flesh and its sharp teeth glaring from behind its mouth. In a surprisng act, the mother yeti plucks off a tooth from its barbaric necklace and thrusts it over to Sophia. She carefully accepts the "gift" and watches the yeti and her cub crash off into the thickets of trees.
 * Sophia examines the tooth and realizes it is from a red dragon!


 * 5 ???
 * The waywatchers.
 * Sophia realizes someone is watching! A group of waywatchers drop down from the trees above.
 * "Greetings my lady, my name is Lothar, a master of the elven waywatchers. You have earned our respects, not everyone would have the courage to stand their ground against the snow yeti of the hills. It would appear you have been given a truly special gift! I must confess, we have been tracking you since you left the sanctuary. Orcs patrol the passes my lady, and the Elven King requests an audience. Please come with us."
 * Returns to The throne of the Elven King above.
