Maple's Story!

Why on earth did Sleepywood censor "ecko"? Do they hate the shoes or something?

I'd also like to know more about this old king that died. D:
How did he die, exactly? Why didn't a son or someone take the thrown? Where does Elin Forest play in?

Nah, Ecko is some famous hacker person in Scania.

Oh yea, I think I heard about him. Does he hack random people that are asses with some epic, private "get your info from trading/messangering you" hek?

"The alien's robot was a force to be r6666ned with"?
:f6:

I will go through and fix that.

You're talking about Sharenian right? If you have ever done Guild Quest you'll see that Ergoth turned on him and ran him out of the castle. The king couldn't quite run fast enough and died in the sewers. Ergoth took the throne.

Elin Forest seemingly happened way before this. At the point in time where Elin Forest is, There are no humans on Victoria Island. This is the first expedition.

Oh. How did Ergoth take the thrown? Did he appear randomly and claim it, or is he the rotten remains of the King's advisor or something?

I figured the king was the ghost in the sewers, but I don't exactly read much in PQ. xP
Heck, I've only been on half a dozen Guild Quest.

First expedition? :o
How did they get back there? Are there any hints towards the entire Island being explored in the past in some future update? I'd love to see this Foresty Peron. xP

(I've stopped reading at Part 10 for now, probably finish it up tomorrow)

Um, Let me get Ergoth's Monster Book entry. It explains it pretty clearly.

 Monster Book Passage, translated by ZYXWVUT

It's a demon that Sharen the 3rd, who ruled over the great empire Sharenian in the highlands, summoned in order to protect the legendary jewel Rubian. Ergoth, who was resurrected by Sharen the 3rd, instead destroyed Sharenian and using the Rubian's power, made the ruins of Sharenian his own empire. After a long time, the ruins of Sharenian were discovered by humans, and with intruders who went in to explore the ruins accidentally touching the Rubian, demon Ergoth, dormant for a long time, opened his eyes.

So, Sharen summoned Ergoth to guard the Rubian. He couldn't trust any humans to do it so he resorted to Death Incarnate. I guess Ergoth decided he didn't need to listen to Sharen anymore and took the Rubian for himself. After a while, Ergoth just sort of dissipated into the Rubian, or maybe he was sealed or something. Either way he was just laying dormant until you destroy the jewel, where he angrily emerges.

And yeah, at the border of Elin Forest is a map called "Entrance to Mushroom Hill" (Henesys in the Past.) and another down the alternate path that says "Entrance to Boulder Mountain" (Perion of the Past). I don't think it's a stretch of the imagination to assume that these two areas will emerge eventually.

whats kerning like in the past xD

Probably like Henesys, they still have some grass left (L forest).

Probably giant octopi.

I had no idea about this whole "story". Thanks for the read. I had to stop midway thru but I am planing on finishing this evening. I don't really read quests so I found this very interesting.

I've read up to Herb Town. Gonna finish sometime later, thanks for getting all this together. Must have taken foreverrr.

The Crimsonwood Keep story is likely to be very long. (100 pages of quest text! o.O)

Excellent Job
Took a while to read but I'm very impressed

After this, he and his brother decided that they wanted to live forever, and decided to find the Fountain of Youth. To the traveler's surprise, John claimed to have actually done so. His father was an archaeologist, and his brother, Jack, was now exploring something separate in Aqua Road.

now that we've confirmed that Jack is in Crimsonwood Keep, is this hinting to a possible entrance through aqua road?

The first dialogue box with Jack might just be "hey I just got back from Aquarium and I came here to find this _________" where blank could be any number of plot points for new quests. I don't think Jack will have as strong a connection to Aqua now as what we would have guessed from him a long time ago.

They had probably planned on elaborating a connection through him (maybe not a physical connection, but rather plot), but eventually decided to use Jack in this way instead.

That's not to say it's not possible though. I'd love to see a connection to Aqua myself, but I don't think it'll be entirely connected to Jack. If I had to guess, I would say a potential connection to Aqua would make the most sense through the path to the south (that isn't out yet). From there, they could have a map where you can walk out to the water and catch a ride on the dolphin (like the one on the far left of Herb Town). Or, if they're feeling adventurous, they could add a whole set of new underwater maps relating to Masteria explicitly that would have a walking path to Aqua.

I think maybe we will be finding Jack's fountan of youth? Not sure what good that will do for us, but Jack has something in store for us for sure!


I can't wait for IsaacGS to write up a story for Crimsonwood Keep!

I bet there's a quest on big food also, watch is be a high leveled boss speaking of what Lita Lawless said... 160 heros is alot ;D

His father was an archaeologist,

What're the chances we'll find out more about the senior Barricade later on?

It's possible, considering the Yetinx and Magatia have yet to be released. Though, I think John is more likely for that area.

Well, they're the Barricade Brothers, not Barricade & Sons. :p I don't think we'll run into him, at least not any time soon. I believe it's in reference to Indiana Jones once again.

I really doubt Barricade is gonna have much to do with Magatia, at least initially. It doesn't need a supporting storyline from NLC, it's story is strong enough to stand on its own.

Well, there's a link between the Yetinx and Nihal Desert, it's probably more in the nature of a pyramid in the Ariant section, but the entire Ariant section is kinda weak, and I always have imagined the pyramid to be AT LEAST 50+, usually higher. So, the night region of the Desert seemed more appropriate, even if its not directly linked to Magatia. (ie a separate road from Magatia's.)

Maybe the Black Magician has something to do with NLC? Maybe that's who Icebyrd had to make a deal with. Perhaps he's Naricain, the black magician?
