Dialogue:
Introductory Goal
Thurston: Hello, My Liege! We have received an interesting proposition.
Ruler: What is it, Thurston?
Thurston: We have been asked for our participation in a knight's exchange program!
Ruler: A knight's exchange? What's that?
Thurston: There are many different realms with many different policies and procedures... A knight's exchange would have us send one of our knights away, off to a faraway land. That land would send one of their own knights in exchange. It would allow us to learn more about the ways of other knights, and would it allow us to share our ways with another realm. So, what say you, my liege? If you wish to participate in this program, all we need do is welcome the new knight to our realm!
Ruler:

Goal 1:
Thurston: Ruler, allow me to introduce Luna! She is a knight from the realm of the Moon.
Ruler: The moon? Are you actually from the moon?
Thurston: Oh no, my liege. The realm of the Moon is not actually on the moon!
Luna: My realm spends most of its days in darkness with only the moon to give us light. The ancient people of my realm were said to be able to harness its power, and use the moon to summon beasts... but that's just an old faerie tale. Nowadays, we mostly just use the extra night to go fishing. It's actually been a bit of an adjustment here in your realm. You all get so much sun!

Goal 2:
Luna: I've had some time to adjust to your realm... It's quite lovely here. I must say I think the sun is overrated... So bright and yellow and hot... ugh. You can hardly even look at it! But I'm excited to begin learning more of the daily duties here in the realm. I hear adventuring is a big part of a knight's responsibilities! I know you are a very busy ruler, but I'd love it if you attended some of my first adventures with me.

Goal 3:
Luna: Where I come from, trade is a big part of our knightly duties. We do not have such sk-illed crafts people as this realm does. Our people are hunter gatherers... We fish and sell what we catch, or we trade for goods and supplies our knights need.
Ruler: We could show you how to make some of the items you'll need. These are sk-ills all of our knights learn.
Luna: I would like that very much! But, please be kind... my crafting sk-ills leave a lot to be desired.

Goal 4:
Luna: I've learned so many new sk-ills already just by being here! It is time I share something from my realm with you. I am going to show you how to make a Lunar Tuner!
Ruler: A Lunar Tuner? I've never heard of something like that. Does this have anything to do with what you said about harnessing the power of the moon?
Luna: It does! Well, to be quite honest with you, I'm not sure they even really work. Building a Lunar Tuner is an ancient tradition in the realm of the Moon. It's said that many generations ago, they one were used to summon a great force, one that could protect the realm at all cost. The grand tradition of building them is shared within my realm, passed down year after year. But to continue being quite honest with you... I've never seen a Lunar Tuner do anything more than be a fancy decoration. Either way, it is something I can show you how to build, and at the very least, it will look fantastic decorating your garden!

Goal 5:
Ruler: So what do we do with our Lunar Tuner?
Luna: Well, first you're going to want to admire your handiwork! Give yourself a pat on the back!
Ruler: Anything else, Luna?
Luna: My great great grandmother told me once that the Lunar Tuner doesn't come with instructions. You have to approach it with good intentions and a pure heart, and you have to open yourself up so that you might be able to sense the lunar vibrations that emanate it. But I've done that a lot and never had any luck. It's really just more to look at. Why don't you approach it? You'll see there's really not much to it.

Goal 6:
Luna: I can't believe it... the Lunar Tuner actually does something! You summoned a ferocious beast. My grandma once told me that a powerful force could use the Lunar Tuner to summon a nightmare... I didn't think she meant an actual mare!
Ruler: Well, what do we do?
Luna: Don't look at me! You're the one who summoned the creature!
Ruler: But it's your Lunar Tuner!
Luna: Ah ah ah! This is your Lunar Tuner... Mine never did anything more than provide shade for some of my plants! No, this is definitely your Lunar Tuner... You are the only one who can vanquish what you've summoned!

Goal 7:
Luna: I am sorry for my miserable failure, Ruler. I have packed my bags and will return to my realm in shame after you banish me post haste.
Ruler: I'm not going to banish you, Luna.
Luna: You're not?
Ruler: No, I'm not. I don't think you meant to get our realm attacked. But I need to know more about the Lunar Tuner.
Luna: I'm not sure I can help you there.When we were making it, I told you everything I knew about it. I've never seen it do anything like that... Maybe I built it wrong, but then again... I think maybe it was you! There is something special about you.
Ruler: Is there anything else you can tell me that might help us?
Luna: Well... There is one more thing. I thought it wasn't real... I heard my grandmother mention it only one time. There is only one thing that can stop the power of the moon... The clouds! My grandmother used to say, in the case of an overactive moon... A shrine to the clouds would put things right.

Goal 8:
Ruler: you really don't know what might be lurking in this clouded pond?
Luna: I know no more than you do. I never expected the Lunar Tuner to do anything. If I was guessing... I would expect another powerful force to be within. The one time my grandmother spoke to me of corralling the clouds, she gave me a grave warning. Harnessing the clouds might be the only way to combat the power of the moon, but there will be dangers hiding in the mist.

Goal 9:
Ruler: This Cloud Mare looks to be a perfect match for the Night Mare.
Luna: It does indeed. It's still quite the monster, perhaps even more sk-illed and cunning than its partner.
Ruler: So what must we do?
Luna: I'm... I'm... I'm sorry, Ruler! I'm of no help. I am simply a trainee knight... I was sent here because I was the worst in my class. I was sent on these duties and I was going to make a name for myself. Now I am completely failing at everything! How horrid.
Ruler: Come on, Luna. It's all right.
Luna: No, no, I'm sorry but I must leave. There is nothing I can do. If I stay I will only bring more malady onto the realm. I'm sorry, Ruler!
Ruler: Luna! Wait!

Goal 10:
Old Thomas: So the new Knight helped you build shrines to the moon and the clouds, which accidentally allowed dark equine monsters to invade the realm and threaten the peace of the Glimmerwoods?
Ruler: That about sums it up. Luna didn't mean any harm by it, I can tell that much. I think she just didn't understand how powerful the potential was.
Old Thomas: She appeared to run off that way... Do you know where she might have gone?
Ruler: She said she was going home... She said she didn't want to cause us any further trouble...
Old Thomas: It is possible that we might catch up with her. Is there anywhere you can think of where she might have sought respite?
Ruler: Hmmm... You know, she did say that Ivy helped her with some cream for the sun.
Old Thomas: Then perhaps our best next step would be visiting Ivy as well.

Goal 11:
Ruler: Luna! I'm glad you didn't leave.
Luna: I was about to *sniffle* when this kind witch stopped me and offered me tea.
Ruler: I'm glad she did. Thank you, Ivy.
Ivy: Aw, it was nothing! I want the visitors in our realm to feel at peace.
Ruler: I suspect the key to our solution for the wold mares is sitting right here with us.
Luna: Right here? Where?
Ruler: You!
Luna: Me? You think I can fix all this?
Ruler: I know you can. You were the one who showed us how to summon these creatures, even if you didn't know it at the time. You're going to be the one to help us tame these beasts.
Luna: ... How? How can I help?
Ruler: Think back... Everything we've learned about these portals we created is from your memories, from your family. Is there anything else you can remember that might help us?

Goal 12:
Luna: I can't believe I'd completely forgotten this. Gran said we needed a wand! if we were going to control the skies, if we were to stand any chance of holding our own against the very elements, we needed the wand. I closed my eyes, I visualized it and then...poof! it's here! With this we'll be able to keep the skies in check! I am so glad to have had a Ruler like you to show me around and guide me. I finally feel like I am a proper knight now... And as a proper knight, I'm going to do everything I can to protect this realm.

For those that are buying here, please report the various items needed in the storyline. Based on some assumptions I have identified Crescent Wand (Material) and the 2 steeds (white and black).

PS: I finally got her..... Now 1 week wait!

[CatLina68]

Seems the second goal will take a little time

[Stymie52]

The second goal will indeed take a while. Slow and steady wins the race!

[LemracCafe]

Seems the second goal will take a little time

That is good news for players with multiple events going on at once.

[SylvanSanctuary]

Does anyone have a description for the Cloud Mare or Night Mare?

[ShibuyaCloth]

Does anyone have a description for the Cloud Mare or Night Mare?

It will take a while to get there!

[SylvanSanctuary]

It will take a while to get there!

Thanks. I was not sure if you or others could see it because it seemed like you had already gotten Luna. They must still be locked while you work through the storyline.

I hope you enjoy the journey!
