Quest Text
The shackles that the Minotaur Hero gave me are not of this world. Sensing a strong power dormant within, I summoned forth the Eidolon of Heroism. It asked me to prove that I was a hero, and that if I could, the spirit would "awaken." In order to prove my heroic nature, it has given me the first of several tasks: restore a deposed ruler by slaying the pretender. Who this may be, I'm not sure - Antonia? Lucan D'Lere?
Completion
The pretender to the throne was Queen Meacidaris, an ambitious bixie in some other thread in some other time. I successfully ended her reign, and the bixies of that hive now have the opportunity to return to their previous order.
Stages
- Stage 1
I must find and slay a pretender to a throne, and restore the rightful ruler. Of what, I'm not sure yet.
Find the "pretender to the throne"
Zone: Exp10 Dun Bixie Hive
I defeated Queen Meacidaris, restoring her thread's Bixie Hive to its rightful heir.
- Stage 2
Having removed a pretender to a throne, I should see if the Eidolon is satisfied that the task is complete.
Speak to the Eidolon of Heroism
The bracers are satisifed. It's on to my next task.
