II.Ding! A notification from your PDA. Though, it's strange, the sender isn't listed at all. The only thing it says is "the quest board has been updated", with a convenient picture of said quest board attached. Though it wasn't exactly cleared of previous papers that were tacked on it, a new bright green paper catches the eye instantly.
Help clear Viasna of debris.
Reasonable enough, right? After all, Viasna could really use the help. However, doing so by hand is immensely dangerous, since most of the buildings are ready to collapse at a moment's notice. Hope you brought a helmet!
III.Festivals are all well and good. Fun for many, even. There are always fun quirks to every holiday or event, like, say, carving pumpkins. The cities here are no different, as all the homes around here seem to have carved pumpkins on their doorsteps. It would be charming, if there weren't one problem: they're all pretty rotten, and starting to smell just terrible.
The obvious solution is to start throwing them away. In theory, it would work. In practice? Well, the pumpkins aren't very happy about it. They still think they're cute! Trying to get near one will just cause it to bite you and do it's very best to try and roll away.
Winter is fast approaching this corner of Lyroa, and yet, for some reason, the ocean just outside of Zima seems to be less frozen over than usual. What is normally a fairly steady walk for ice is now a very risky trek, with the ice constantly threatening to break beneath you with the warning sounds of cracking. Ice floes have begun forming and bumping into each other. Perhaps the most alarming are the ships that usually sit atop the ice are beginning to slip and creak into the water. What's even more unsettling is you swear you can hear it screaming as it slips into the water. Is that how it's supposed to sound?
Investigations of these ships are not recommended, of course. After all, you'd risk yourself being caught between the ice floes. But for those of you simply too curious or worried... well, don't be surprised when ghostly hands reach from the ship to try and pull you into the icy depths below.
