Fantasy Faire 2013 – The Quest For The Golden Prim Relaunches Tomorrow With A Party!

The Explorer’s Club building at Fantasy Faire 2013 continues to be an area of mystery and I’ve received more information over the last few days. First of all another note was slipped under the door of my room:

We’ve received grave news from Steelhead. Remember we told you about the Questers that you might encounter around the Faire? You can spot them because of by their special titles – they’ll have the sign of the Quest for the Golden Prim (sometimes shortened to QGP) and their character name.

But apparently, some of them are concealing dark secrets – three of their number are dangerous fugitives!

News just in from Steelhead informs us that Questers known as Dr Wirefly, Professor McMinn and Miss Primm are wanted in connection with the murder of a citizen of Steelhead.  They were apprehended in Steelhead but escaped by drugging the Sheriff and his trusty deputies.

These people are highly dangerous – if encountered, they should be reported to the Sheriffs of the Faireland.,  We are asking Fairgoers not to risk danger by approaching them directly.  If you see any other Questers, however, we believe you may still safely approach them and request information (and gifts).

This news disturbed me greatly, but being an adventurer I couldn’t turn away, I just had to go back to the explorer’s club to see what was going on. I arrived there in good spirits, treading rather cautiously and outside the building I met a strange lady, she made me nervous, she took me in and gave me breakfast and I said “Do you come from a land down under? Where women glow and men plunder.

No.” she replied, rather suspiciously, “I come from The Steamlands.

Well it could have been worse, she could have smiled and made me a vegemite sandwich.

Fantasy Faire 2013 – News Regarding The Quest For The Golden Prim

I awoke this morning at Fantasy Faire 2013 to find that someone had slipped an envelope under my door, there was no writing on the envelope, so I opened it and read the note inside:

It seems that the Faire this year has been joined by a group of intrepid explorers who are seeking a mysterious artefact known as “The Golden Prim”. Whether they expect to find it here in the Fairelands, or whether they are here for some other reason remains to be seen.

They seem to be based at the Explorers’ Club (Oriental Branch) in Lotus Valley Dream – you can learn more of their adventures there – and discover some secrets too, it is believed.

If you encounter one of them at the Faire, they’ll be happy to talk to you – and they’’ll also have things to give you too …

So look out for the Questers – and join their adventure.

Usually I would consult with my Chief Elf on such matters but she is elsewhere in the Fairelands, I decided to go to this Lotus Valley Dream location and take another look at the Explorers club.

Lotus Valley Dream Sim

This was also useful as despite my lodgings having a very comfortable bed, The Explorers club is the home of the only wash room in the Fairelands!

On approaching the explorers club I noticed a lady and a gentleman stood outside:

Fantasy Faire 2013 – The Quest For The Golden Prim Introduction

Saffia Widdershins

I’m stood outside an explorer’s club in the Lotus Valley Dream sim at Fantasy Faire, Saffia Widdershins is asking me to conduct an interview in voice, I play my trump card “I speak Brummie, you may not be able to understand me“.

I speak fluent Brummie” replies Saffia, I’m out of excuses and turn to voice.

Explorers Club Entrance

The interview for The Quest For The Golden Prim turns into an adventure of its own. First of all the sims are being reset, we need to teleport out, but we can’t, the servers won’t let us at first. Then another sim is full, with the clock ticking and time running out, we manage to teleport to another sim in the nick of time.

Now I need to find Saffia, I can see her on the map, she can see me, we walk towards each other and realise we’re separated by a see-thru wall, we’re physically separated, we touch the wall either side and start the interview, Saffia’s accent is the sort that suits her elegant avatar every step of the way and has me enthralled as she enthuses about this project and others of bygone days. If Linden Lab are looking for an enthusiastic supporter of Second Life in the form of someone who has exemplified several use cases, Saffia Widdershins is the lady for the job.

The Quest For The Golden Prim isn’t an item you can buy, it’s a web comic with the presentation at Fantasy Faire a promotional tool to announce the relaunch of the web comic. The presentation itself is an interactive experience, you can click items and collect trading cards, learn about the story by finding books with previous chapters. There are hidden entrances to be found and, as Saffia proudly told me, the only wash room in the Faire lands is inside the build!

Golden Prim washroom

I’ll allow Saffia to explain the story of the quest below the cut, if you’re already below the cut, there isn’t another one, just read on.
