Background[]
Long ago a noble family, the Quellborns, left Erudin to make a new life in Faydwer. Nicadius Quellborn, the husband, was a priest of Quellious as well as a musician and composer. He was accompanied by his pregnant wife, Jessa Quellborn. Tragedy struck on the voyage, and Jessa, ill and near death, delivered a healthy baby girl but died soon after. Mixed with grief and joy, Nicadius named the girl Jessa, after his deceased wife. They reached Faydwer safely and established their home in the remote southern mountain range of Butcherblock Mountains known as Dagnor's Cauldron. The body of Lady Jessa was buried on the grounds, her grave consecrated to Quellious, and a gazebo was later built on the spot. They named their new home The Estate of Rest, establishing it as a place of rest and recovery for those in need of respite from the dangers of the Mountains, and those weary of the world.
Jessa grew in peace and beauty, nurtured by her father, the senior servants Hemstall and Ryline, and above all, Quellious. In time, she reached maturity, then eventually met, and was courted by and wed to a dwarf of Kaladim, Kyll Ruksif. He loved her greatly, and she him, and soon she was with child. Much happiness was brought to the mansion as servants readied the new nursery in anticipation. In his happiness, Nicadius was composing a lullaby for his first grandchild, but he never got to finish it...
One dark night while Kyll was away from the castle, Garanel Rucksif came to put an end to them all. Fueled by envy, hatred, and a liberal helping of strong dwarvish spirits, he crept into the mansion and slaughtered everyone. The last to die was Nicadius himself, who had been standing vigil that night in the chapel above the conservatory. Perhaps Nicadius cried out in that final moment, for as the madman struck him down Quellious came, and in Her ire cursed Garanel to forever haunt the scene of his evil, and Garanel dropped dead on the spot.
Someone must have buried the victims behind the mansion, but there were no blessings placed on the cursed ground. Perhaps Garanel drove them off before they could finish. In any event, Kyll never made it home, at least in life, but his ghost stands forever in the yard trying to get to Jessa to save her despite his wounds.
Recently, drawn by the dark energies of this haunted mansion, a priest of Cazic-Thule has come to torture the eternal residents, and after making a few threats to Garanel to allow him to, the priest defiled the chapel and made Fear supreme there. It is unclear if he even knows that Garanel needs little help to twist forever in the evil winds of his own deeds. Deep beneath The Estate of Unrest he waits, and watches...
Notes[]
- The Estate of Unrest zone went live with LU32 as a free content addition to Echoes of Faydwer, and became the second ever Persistent Instance with LU38.
- Unlike most zones where quests exist in the zone, this zone IS the quest, after a fashion. It is like an old Zork or Myst game, where various items related to the storyline lead you through unlocking the path until you reach the final encounter.
- You will have a debuff called Living Nightmare on you at all times while in the instance, which slows your movement speed by 20%.
- If soloing, you will require the help of at least one other person to gain access to the second floor of the mansion. Two levers have to be clicked at the same time, and they are too far away for one player to reach the other in time. Additionally, if your class does not have a way to teleport forward (or on top of an enemy), then you may get stuck on a particular encounter.
- There is one exceedingly rare quest that can be found here, Reinforcing a Relic, started from an item that drops off the final boss.
