To all who dwell within our fair shire of Thamesreach, or who visit it often and partake in its toils and merrymaking – you are invited to join in a quest!
The Tower of Thamesreach Quest challenges you to explore different aspects of shire life, whether that’s crafting, fighting and cooking or doing a share of the behind-the-scenes tasks that make events happen.
The quest is open to all but you may only count tasks begun after the date of starting.
Printed record cards will be available from Cecily at revels or practice, so you can make a note of what you have done (or you can print the list below). Once you have completed six tasks, please let one of the shire officers know, so that we can present you with a token that you may wear with pride, so that all may know you as an esteemed citizen of Thamesreach.
