Rules:
I have for you all a scavenger hunt of epic proportions! A week of hunting and a whopping 65 items.

But we figured that 65 items was a lot to carry, so instead of actual items, you will be looking for the answers to questions.

I have picked out nice, obscure questions for you. Most of the answers won't be found in the lore and, really, most of them aren't important. What is important is the places you'll see!

Our theme this time around is S'Kra Heritage and so to find the answers you will want to meet various influential S'Kra Murs and visit S'Kra cultural landmarks across Elanthia. I gathered questions from locations in Zoluren, Therengia, Ilithi, Aesry and Ratha.

It's obvious by some of the questions where the answers will be found, but others are designed to be a bit trickier, and you may not even realise which province holds the answer until you trip right over it. Any type of thing is fair game: things you see, things you read, things you hear, things that happen when you do something. You may have to get creative to find some answers!

I don't expect anyone to find all the answers. Do the best that you can and don't worry too much if you can't find everything. You may not even need to visit all of the different provinces to have a shot if you do well in the ones you search! However, questions are designed so that you will need to go out to the locations for most of the answers. That's why you have a week to fit it in where it's convenient!

If something has changed since I scouted out the answers that makes them unavailable to find, then we are just going to roll with it. Everyone will still be at an equal inability to find the answer.

I do recommend that you take notes. A lot of the answers are specific, and if it comes down to breaking ties, we may look at whose answers are more precise.

If you want, you can cooperate in groups to find the answers or share your findings with others. Just remember that takes away your edge over them! I would also request that you do not post any answers publicly. It isn't fair to those who want to find the answers on their own.

We'll meet on the 14th to see who found the most answers. Counting will be done trivia-style. I'll go through the questions again, one at a time, and everyone will have 20 seconds to whisper the answer. If you get it whispered, you get the point, and the three people with the most points at the end will win.

Feel free to let me know about any questions. I'll keep an eye on this forum all week.
