Each year the Hunt Mistress sends out a call to all the regions and guilds of Egypt to gather their finest, bravest, and swiftest citizens and to bring their team to compete in The Great Hunt. Setting forth challenges to test these teams, She will determine who is the Greatest Team in the land.
Teams are of three citizens. At the beginning of the Hunt, the Hunt Mistress will present the Hunt List to each team. They will have three hours to complete as much of the List as they can. Each item, task, and puzzle on the List has a point value. The team with the highest point value who returns to the Hunt Mistress in the allotted time shall be recognized as the Third Telling’s Great Hunt Champions!

Navigation Spouse-warp, chariots, waypoints, etc are all allowable. GM/Dev powers are not allowable. Hacking code is not allowable.
NPC Issues If your team arrives at an NPC station and a team is already a) with the NPCs b) at the Guildhall, you must wait until they clear the area. It is up to you if you want to wait or leave. There will be no queue.
Language If you have a translation issue, please contact Kaayru, Noreferti, or Dreasimy. But please realize, some of this content is meant to be puzzling. We cannot clarify most content.
Mules Since I have no reliable way to know if anyone is a mule or not, they are allowed. It is not really in the spirit of the event since this is meant to be a team event and dealing with others is meant to be part of the difficulty. But, I don't think it is an advantage either since then you only have 1 or 2 brains working the puzzles. So have at it.
Starting At the start of the Hunt teams who has all members within sight of me at 4331, 7619 (you don't have to be right near me, as I'm sick) will get access to a private wiki page containing the Hunt List. If your whole team is not at the start, you will not be given your Hunt List until they are. That will count against your time limit for the event so be on time!
Determining Winners First it will be by points, then by how fast you finish. Teams who do not turn in their items before the 3 hour time limit are disqualified.
Plague Management ''If you prefer not to get close to our NPCs feel free to sign up at the Quest guildhall (only one team will be let into a guildhall at a time.) Then move away fromt he guildhall so the NPCs can let you in and then you can do your quest dialog in the guild chat. Once that is done you will be removed from the guild. For items you need to give the NPCs there will be a stashable chest. For items they need to give you there will be a chest for that as well.
