midway, please contact them if you have questions!► Esmeralda sells crystals that generate heat, which are popular trinkets to purchase in the colder months. But before she can sell them, they need to be imbued with warmth. The crystals can only be charged when held between the palms of two different people, and she'll pay 10 coins per crystal to anyone willing to help. She'll also let you keep one crystal of your choosing.
Additional info: The only way to charge the crystals to Esmeralda's specifications is by holding hands with another person with the crystal placed between your palms. Be warned! Some of the crystals are finnicky, and will not allow you to let go until they have been sufficiently charged.

THE HARBORS
► Restless are invited to pay their final respect (lol) to the members of the Hierarchy who were recently murdered. Some place small gifts on the funeral rafts, and archers successfully set them on fire as they're pushed onto the Tempest. Somber music is playing, and oddly enough, there's not one Ferryman in sight.Additional info: Once the bodies are embraced by the flames (to prevent them from potentially turning into Spectres), they stir, rise, and howl unhinged nonsense. Blueish apparitions escape from their mouths, corpses falling back onto the raft and rolling into the Tempest. If you ever wondered what a ghost might look like in the Netherworld, wonder no more, the first ones to ever be unequivocally witnessed! It is mostly believed that Restless who perish in the Netherworld ultimately join Oblivium's forces (very few believe otherwise), though in this particular case, their souls remain as angry spirits, which means everything you're probably thinking of: poltergeist, hauntings, possessions, etc.
RADIANCE
► Aneth is a renown painter in Stygia, and she's currently looking for art models. Nude ones, that is.Additional info: If you don't mind lying or sitting naked for hours on end, you'll be rewarded 100 coins, a set of brushes, paint, and a copy of the final painting.
THE BARRENS
► The smell of death and decay that plagues a portion of the Barrens might have already tipped you off. A long barrow there displays disturbing signs of activity; trees made of bone, unintelligible whispers, distant shrieks, etc. Visit Zevra at your earliest convenience if you can help. You will find her tending to the small shrine nearby.Additional info: Zevra explains that at first, small buds of bone broke through the earth, which later grew to the size of trees. Some Restless claim that during full moons, they can hear chants and screaming from the long barrow’s direction. You'll probably notice will-o'-wisps dancing between the morbid bone branches, and they'll attack if you get any closer than 30 feet.
The entrance to the barrow is a thick stone slab -- you can hear wailing from the other side. Using digging implements like pickaxes, you'll need approximately one hour to break through, and you'll be immediately welcomed by a swarm of bats. In the center, you'll find another circular stone slab, embedded into the ground. It's covered in glowing runes, visibly enchanted, a seal of sorts. Below, a Banshee has been carving away at the seals for a long time, now nearing her impending release.
1. If you break the runes and release her, she'll immediately attack. You can either run away or defeat her. If her claws scrape your skin, the wound will gradually expand and decay, giving you an undead appearance. It can be healed by applying mistletoe leaves to the original injury, though you won't be able to find any until December's event! Note that her wails are also terrifying, and might temporarily paralyze you.
2. If your magical abilities allow, you can also choose to reinforce the seals, and delay her release for a few more months. In both cases, you'll be rewarded 200 coins.

SERENE
► Frish has come across a sad spectacle of destroyed statues decorating the forest floor near her home. Statues that strangely remind her of people she once knew... She wants the creature responsible rounded up and killed, and is willing to pay 50 coins.Additional info: Characters proficient in survival can track the center point of the strange array of rubble to a cavern in a nearby cairn. They might well deduce that the likely culprit is a Gargoyle, but no! The culprit is just another Restless-turned-hermit. His cave is covered in easels, sculptures and broken statues. Paint is everywhere, including on him, and all he says if questioned is "I must create art!". His favourite sport is turning people to stone, painting them, and then smashing them. But not everything is as it seems. If you try to stop him, you'll soon realize that you can't touch him: he's nothing more than the simulacrum of a mage gone mad, who turned himself to stone years ago to escape his Shadow. The only way to make him disappear is to indulge your own Shadow and allow it to convince the man to leave. He'll eventually comply and vanish... but you know the risks. Be careful!
MIRTH
► The theater's owner has lost a small portion of his collection of horror movies, including: Paranormal Activity, The Blair Witch Project, It, The Ring, and Cargo. He'll pay you 30 coins if you find them, and will also allow you to borrow them.Additional info: They aren't lost. They've been misplaced, and you'll find them in one of the theater rooms where a foreign movie is projected on the giant screen. It looks vaguely familiar -- like a nightmare you once had, maybe. Don't expect DVDs, though; you'll find a small object resembling an USB stick on the floor, which you can plug in your smartphone in order to watch the movies.
THE HARBORS
► Muscade is looking for fresh fish! She'll pay 10 coins for each fish caught!Additional info: You can try catching them with your hands, a fishing rod, a net, your teeth... Just be mindful of the water, which can be unpredictable even close to shore. Fortunately, the sea seems relatively calm these days (or calmer, anyway), and you might be able to spot groups of naiads waving and smiling at you.
THE HINTERLANDS
► A star crashed in the middle of the Hinterlands (approximately). Blacksmith Aripi promises sizable rewards upon delivery of star fragments. Search for a crater that a fireball might leave in the ground; you'll find the remains in the center.Additional info: You will find more information on the Hinterlands here. Keeping that in mind, you'll come across the impact site after a couple of hours of wandering in the foothills. A goatherd you meet along the way points you in the right direction, and you might notice movement in the crater; tiny elementals, otherwise known as Knights of the Broken Flame, watching over their blazing territories. They leave a trail of fuming ash and blistering cinder in their wake, and despite their tiny size, they prove to be quite fiery! [x]
If you struggle in any way with your Shadow, or if you're just inherently evil, they won't allow you to take anything. You'll be burnt to near-death if you insist and try to fight them, though it's possible to temporarily distract them with heroic tales of your choosing. Once you return a fragment to Aripi, she'll reward you with 200 coins; she'll also ponder, out loud, whether star-made items would endure without being soul-forged...
