Other

- This quest will be a prerequisite for future quests within the series (linearly locked).
- PvM and Skilling content aren't expected to be locked behind it.
- There are easter eggs/references. (Removed an Eminem lyric reference since it detracts from the quest).
Death of Chivalry 2
- This quest will take place after a theoretical Death of Chivalry 2 quest.
- We didn't want to suspend Owen as a character till a quest was made or write out the quest completely. Instead we made the decision to move on with his character and jump forward in time. If it's appropriate to tell the story in retrospect we will.
Elder God Wars
Wars escalate and peter out.
- A theme in which most (not all) content (Quests, PvM Encounters, Skilling, etc.) will be released under this year.
- Significant update in March NOT related to the theme.
- Bring things beyond story into the theme with the same momentum similar to the Void knight series.
PvM Encounters
- Will not be the standard player expectation (4 bosses/factions, big dungeon, kill count, godsword, etc.).
- Push the team to go for what's best for the game but also is still exciting and what players want.
- Releasing 4 very similar bosses at the same time causes players to just pick one.
- Players want different things when it come to bossing, and we are planning to make each boss a viable entity.
Handling the scale of the Elder Gods
- We have a way of addressing it on our journey.
- Azzanadra's Quest lays the groundwork for stuff you may not see yet.
Q&A
What's the difference between elder gods and gods? Are they related?
The Elder Gods are the primordial creators of this universe. They shape the matter, the planet, etc. Gods are generally mortal beings that have ascended via acquiring power generally from something the elder gods have touched or another source of tremendous power. This comes up in this quest.
Will previous question choices affect outcomes in Azzanadra's?
Nope. Stylistically we moved away from unique choices due to the development time required to make subsequent content.
After release will those quests be in the filter for the new quest series?
Yes, they will be in all the standard quest listings.
Will EGW relate to the Archaeology story in any way?
Yes it will. "Why is Zaros so interested in the Archaeology skill?"
Why release a significant update while Double XP Week is live?
A quest is the most suitable since it is one and done. Also you can pause your timer.
Are Zaros and Azzanadra working together or is Azzanadra doing this on his own?
Yes he is.
