["Your Majesty's recent illness has taken its toll on the people. Their grief for your suffering only increases with sad news that your condition does not improve. It should now be clear to all that dark magics fuel this insidious ailment.
I would not disturb your rest were it not for some hopeful news. The trusted old Wizard, Rezzenthell, told me of a relic - a chalice - containing incredible healing power. It is hidden somewhere in the realm. I implore you to send your heroes scouring the land in search of this Holy Chalice. It may be the only thing which can put an end to your illness."

Long Description =
["Mighty Leader, forgive this intrusion, but a terrible presence has visited our castle! A Demon! He claims he's here to collect on a debt owed to him by your mother. Can this be true?
Since we were unable to immediately deliver the requested bounty, he said he'd return later for TRIPLE the amount of gold, or he'd curse the entire village. He then vanished in a cloud of foul smelling, green smoke.
Your Majesty? I hope you have a plan. Something MUST be done before he returns!"]
Name =
[SLAY_DRAGON]

Long Description =
["Majesty? It grieves me to be the bearer of such intolerable news. An Elvish miscreant has just left the castle. He came to deliver the message that his disreputable brethren have taken your son hostage! Apparently they see only the size of your treasury, not the depth of your skilled leadership.

Long Description =
["It honors me to counsel one so wise. Your forebears would be truly proud of the prosperity you've fostered in this land. This region has become rich and pleasant to dwell in thanks to your recent land acquisition. It is wonderful that the former Baron traded it for only a hundred and fifty head of cattle.
However, such prosperity does not go without notice. Rumors have reached the castle walls that there are many who seek to claim this idyllic setting for themselves. You must be on guard against any such marauders."

]
Name =
[MAGIC_RING]
Short Description =
[Recover the Ring of Healing.]
Long Description =
["Majesty? I fear my vision grows alarmingly dim. The dark plague which grips our land does not respect the boundaries of these castle walls.
This epidemic sweeps through our land, leeching away the very life from your royal subjects. Our best doctors seem unable to slow the pace of this dread disease.
Before slipping into unconsciousness, the mighty Wizard Rezzenthell insisted that there was only one way to halt this affliction. You must recover the Ring of Healing, which the legends say is located somewhere in Ardania.

Short Description =
[Recover the seven shards that make up Brashnard's Ultimate Sphere.]

As you surely recall, the sphere was broken into seven sections which were scattered to the far reaches of the land. A great number of heroes must be summoned in order to scour the realm for these lost shards. By your authority, let this bold undertaking commence.
Majesty? It is not this humble servant's place to question your wise directives, but this undertaking is... well, "ambitious". Can we truly succeed where countless others have failed?"
