One of the most exciting features in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning is the Public Quest system. Public Quests are area based quests that you trigger by crossing over into an area where a PQ is taking place. Unlike most quests, it's not initiated by speaking with a specific NPC or finding/ looting a random item. As you move into this zone a message flashes onto your screen, informing you that a Public Quest is taking place, and what you would need to do to join in. These quests have huge goals that would be daunting for even an average player to accomplish in the time frame provided. This is where the word "Public" comes into play. The quests are geared for everyone of the same army in that zone to participate in, as groups or warbands.
Ten Ton Hammer starts off the series of Public Quest guides with Empire, Chapter 1.
It is a desperate time for the Empire. While a mysterious plague ravages through its populace, a massive warhost of barbaric Northmen launches a ferocious attack across the Empire's northern border. With terrible speed, the invaders storm into Nordland laying waste to all in their path.
The Emperor summons forth the greatest of his subjects: the Grand Theogonist of the Cult of Sigmar, the Supreme Patriarch of the Colleges of Magic, and the Captain of the Reiksguard. Together with these advisors, Karl Franz devises a plan to save the Empire.
The Emperor announces the formation of the Order of the Griffon, an elite military force made up of noble knights, potent Wizards, cunning and lethal Witch Hunters and fearless, fanatical Warrior Priests. Receiving their orders directly from the Emperor, the Order's commanders will be free to take any action necessary to protect the Empire from threats from within or without.
After its ranks are filled, the Order of the Griffon is dispatched to Nordland. Their mission is simple, but vitally important - take command of the Nordland provincial army and organize the Empire's defenses before the invading warhost ransacks the province completely.
Meanwhile, the mystery of the plague still lingers. If the members of the Order do not act quickly to solve it, the dread disease will consume the Empire and any hope of surviving the enemy attack will be lost.
