Gaining Renown
Everything you do affects the way the people
of Albion perceive you. The fair citizens may
love or hate you, as well as respect and fear
you. Or, they might simply laugh at you. The
choices are yours to make, and the type of
Renown you receive from the people in the villages throughout
Albion reflects your decisions. Word travels quite quickly here.
Renown is garnered through your actions in Quests, but Heroes
for hundreds of years have also furthered their Renown by
displaying Quest trophies. It goes without saying that
brandishing a Bandit’s head for all to see cannot help but
promote one’s heroism and great deeds across the land.
Heroic Boasting
You can also boast on the Boasting Platform before going on a
Quest. Just outside the front door of the Guild, the Boasting
Platform is where a Hero can stand up and make a mighty boast
such as “I’ll kill the Balverine while wearing no clothing,” if you
care to expose yourself in this way. Boasts bring you more gold
for completing a Quest, because they are wagers of confidence in
your abilities.
Travelling About Albion
The world of Albion is full of activity. Wild beasts roam the
wilderness preying on Bandits, Traders, wandering nomads, and
careless adventurers. As you travel the world, numerous random
encounters may take place. It is up to you just where you go and
what you do. You are not required to spend all of your time
pursuing Quests from the Guild. As a Hero, your time is your own
and the world is yours to explore as you wish.
However, as you travel, there are times when even a great Hero
finds himself lost in the woods looking for the front entrance
to Orchard Farm. This is where consulting your Mini Map could
aid you. Take a look at the map any time you need to re-orient
yourself by pressing M. For a key to the map, select the Map
heading in your Inventory and scroll down.
For a Hero, travel around Albion is now especially exciting.
This is because the Guild has recently finished construction of a
method of travel no other citizen possesses—that of the Teleport
Pad/Cullis Gate Travel system. Utilizing highly-advanced Guild
ingenuity, this travel system allows any Hero to use a certified
Cullis Gate that has become unlocked upon entering a region.
After one is unlocked, you can travel to that Cullis Gate any time
using your Guild Seal.
You can also use the Guild Seal as a recall device from anywhere
in the world of Albion back to your last location. You may also
teleport back to the Guild at any time, whether it is to quickly
obtain another Quest Card, replenish health, level up abilities, or
eat a quick meal at the Dining Hall. (Note: for your own safety,
please don’t drink mead or ale and then teleport; taking damage
cancels a recall.) Whatever the reason, we encourage our Heroes
to use their Guild Seals to return to the Guild any time they wish.
Our Guild is certainly your Guild.
