A Multitude of Tasks
This daily begins with us offering to fill in for Chromie by staying at the Everwhere Inn to give out quests while she’s busy with other tasks.
Adventurers Diani, Rugan, Krinthor, & Mithalder
As quest giver, a yellow exclamation mark appears above our head, and our first group of adventurers arrives.
Adventurer Diani says: Rugan, you pick up the quest, then share it with us.
Adventurer Rugan says: Pick up your own quest. Why do I always have to pick up the quest?
Adventurer Krinthor says: You like to pretend we are more than killers for hire.
Adventurer Rugan says: We are more than killers for hire! We saved a whole village earlierl
Adventurer Mithalder says: By killing things.
Adventurer Rugan says: A small child gave you her favorite toy as a reward!
Adventurer Mithalder says: Yeah. I got fifty silver for it. Worst reward ever.
Adventurer Diani says: Couldn’t even put it in my toy box.
Adventurer Rugan says: I hate you guys.
Adventurer Diani says: Aw, we love you too.
Some players may recognize Adventurer’s Rugan, Diani, Krintho, and Mithalder from Apex Observatory in the Waking Shores, where they can be overheard having a similar conversation. We’re given the option to summarize the task,
says: Step through the portal, kill anything that moves.
Adventurer Rugan says: Newtest, don’t encourage them.
Adventurer Diani says: Wow they aren’t even trying today. Nice!
Or explain it in full.
says: You will be helping Queen Aszhara setup the city of Zin- Azshari.
says: It is going to involve a long series of tasks each day in which you get to know the ins and outs of the queen and her entire court.
says: There might even be a romance if you play your cards right.
Adventurer Mithalder says: Oh nice, dibs on the romance.
Adventurer Rugan says: You don’t know who it’s with yet.
Adventurer Mithalder says: Hey, I’m a lover and a fighter.
Adventurer Krinthor says: Hah!
Adventurer Diani says: Rawr!
Johnny Awesome
Our next adventurer is an old friend – Johnny Awesome! Horde players have given this character quests before – the first time we acted as quest givers back in Cataclysm. Johnny’s known to care a great deal about rewards… particularly mounts – and… less about lore.
Johnny Awesome says: Fear not people! Your prayers have been answered!
Johnny Awesome says: I, Johnny Awesome, have decided to come into your… what is this? An Inn? Your Inn and am here to save you and slash or assist you with your troubles.
Johnny Awesome says: Assuming the reward is good, of course.
says: I need…
Johnny Awesome says: Skip!
Johnny Awesome says: Haha, as if it matters what the details are.
Just then, Aeonormu rushes in with an urgent message for Chromie. A time anomaly has caused the Titans to not visit Azeroth. Solving this problem will take exactly two years! Also known as an expansion’s-length of time.
We just got reports of a new time anomaly!
A time ripple has caused the Titans to not visit Azeroth! We need to send adventurers to the titans to convince them to come to Azeroth! They will likely have to work very closely with the Titans in their original battle against the old gods, and get to know them really well.
We estimate it will take roughly two years for an adventurer to complete this. as they travel across proto-Azeroth and deal with roughly three large scale enemy strongholds!
We send Aeonormu on his adventure – suggesting he will be gone for at least two years.
says: Build your reputation with them. perform tasks they ask of you.
says: Help them build a better world.
Aeonormu says: Oh wow. You do this sort of thing all the time? That’s incredible.
Aeonormu says: Okay! Titans, here I come!
Our final adventurers are a pair of Niffen who have just left Zaralek Caverns for the first time! We send them on their way just in time for Chromie’s return, and that wraps up our quest giver duties!
The Lost Dwarves
Bartender Bob, a character previously only seen in Hearthstone, sends us on a quest to find three rowdy customers who stumbled through a time portal and have decided to visit Valdrakken rather than return to their timeline.
Lost Time-Lost Vikings
Olaf, Baelog, and Eric are well-known to us – They are the Lost Dwarves from both the original version of Uldaman and the updated Dragonflight version, Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr. The three are also a reference to The Lost Vikings, one of Blizzard’s earliest games.
Olaf
We find Olaf in The Parting Glass, dancing happily on a table.
<Olaf dances to the beat, to the delight of his fans. ignoring the glares from angry patrons.>
<Ask Olaf to return with you.>
<Olaf ignores you and keeps dancing to the beat.>
We shut down the jukebox to get his attention, and after a spirited scuffle, Olaf agrees to go home.
Olaf says: HEY! I was dancin’ to that!
Olaf says: Fine, fine. I’ll go back.
Baelog
We find Baelog snoring happily in The Emerald Enclave. He’s a bit annoyed when we wake him, but we soon convince him to return.
Baelog says: <Zzzz- snk!> Eh? What’s the big idea, wakin’ me up?
Baelog says: This wasn’t a great napping spot anyway.
Eric
Finally, we find Eric atop The Seat of the Aspects, admiring Queen Alexstrasza. He agrees to go home – after we take a snapshot of him standing with Alexstrasza.
<Erlc looks starstruck.>
Have ye ever seen a more beautiful creature?
<Ask Eric to return with you.>
Tell ye what, you take a picture o’ me and that fine red lass there and l’ll head through the portal. Sound fair?
Okay.
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: Would you prefer if I shifted into my visage?
Eric “The Swift” says: Nae lass! Yer far more impressive as ye are!
Young Vol’jin
A young Vol’jin, Apprentice Shadowhunter, has lost his mojo, and needs us to help get it back.
I was practicing and suddenly I found m’self here and me mojo had run off!
It can’t have run far. Would you look for it for me? I think I need a drink.
Missing Mojo
We find and contain the missing mojo, Vol’jin thanks us for our help, and he returns to his place in the timeways. Not the most complicated of these quests, but we imagine a timeline without Vol’jin’s mojo would look very different indeed.
Faction Traitor Us
In a daily offered by Bartender Bob, we catch a glimpse of alternative-timeline versions of ourselves.
What Could Have Been
A mysterious stranger has arrived in the Everywhere Inn, claiming that they need our help with a threat. The threat turns out to be a faction traitor version of ourselves!
Bartender Bob says: Ah, there you are. Good luck, you two.
Bartender Bob says: And do try to get along.
The threat turns out to be yet another version of us, this time Fel Corrupted, haven given over to their (our) lust for power.
Fel-Corrupted Champion says: Perish by the power you could have claimed!
Fel-Corrupted Champion says: Your cowardice… will be your end…
We defeat the Fel-Corrupted Champion together and return to Bob, who’s happy to see that we’ve been able to resolve our differences, and our Faction Traitor self leaves through a portal into the timeline where players of any race have the option to change faction.
Mr. Bigglesworth
A strange Time-Displaced Toy has recently appeared, risking further harm to the timeways. Chromie enlists us to return the toy to its proper place.
Squeaky Toy of Time and Space
We find the anomaly in the possession of a Mountain Stonefang, who has curled up to sleep next to their new toy.
“A well-loved squeaky toy misplaced in time.”
After retrieving it, we head through a time portal to return it to its proper place – Naxramas. Here, the rightful owner awaits – the toy belongs to Mr. Bigglesworth, Kel’Thuzad’s beloved cat!
Nathanos Marris
In one daily, the still-living human Nathanos Marris who was in love with Sylvanas and would later be known as Blightcaller in undeath has a problem with some, uh, fowl beasts.
Fowl Beasts
When this daily is up, Nathanos can be found in the Everywhere Inn after being brought there by a time anomaly.
I believe my time displacement was caused by the horrific creatures to the – south.
I can hear them even now. with their monstrous noises. No doubt they ripped me from my original time just to taunt me.
Slay them for me and for the safety of all good people in this world.
We investigate to find… well, they’re ducks.
Still, we clear away the beasts for Nathanos’ sake and return to him. We have a chance to point out that they were just ducks… his response makes us wonder a little about exactly what time displacement does to the mind, but we’re sure it’s fine.
The monsters you sent me to kill seemed llke harmless ducks.
Nonsense that’s just what they wanted you to think.
I’m onto them though. with their beady eyes and strangely shaped beaks. Can’t even pretend to be disgusting birds properly.
Monstrous beings of eldritch origin, that’s what they are. No doubt in my mind.
Young Anduin
In this quest, a young Anduin Wrynn has found his way to the Everywhere Inn – and he’s lost his favorite Hearthstone card.
Lucky Hearthstone Card
Still the Prince of Stormwind, Anduin was playing hearthstone with his father, King Varian Wrynn, when a time anomaly brought him here. He wants to go home, but he needs our help getting back his favorite Hearthstone card first – some dragon whelps flew off with it and added it to their card tornado.
We find and defeat the tornado and retrieve Anduin’s Lucky Hearthstone Card.
“An old-looking Common card depicting a Stormwind Guard with lightly tattered edges.”
You actually got my lucky card back? Thank you. thank you. thank you <name>!
I’ll remember this forever. I’m ready to go home now.
