Quests

Echoes of Theron has two quest systems, each with its own reward model: the main story chain (unlocks NPCs, pays nothing directly) and the implicit region-conquest quests (each worth +1 skill point).

The main story chain

A single linear chain of ten quests drives the whole campaign. Each quest completes automatically the instant its objective is met; you then click Claim on the Camp tab to advance to the next link. Main-chain quests pay no gold and no XP — their entire value is unlocking the next NPC and the next stretch of the world.

#	Quest	Objective	Unlocks
1	Setting up the Camp	100 total kills	Trader
2	Preparing	Reach level 10	Blacksmith
3	Moving on	Clear the Parched Grasslands dungeon	—
4	In search for answers	Reach the Witch’s Hut	Witch
5	Cleansing the Swamp	Clear the Cursed Swamp dungeon	—
6	Find the survivors	Reach the Survivors’ Town	Tavern
7	Through the Foothills	Clear the Scorched Foothills dungeon	—
8	Into the Mountains	Reach the Mountain Pass	—
9	Over the Peaks	Clear the Shattered Mountains dungeon	—
10	Finding Theron	Clear the Dark Citadel dungeon (endgame)	—

Four of the ten quests unlock a camp NPC (Trader, Blacksmith, Witch, Tavern); the other six gate world progression by requiring a region dungeon clear or a “reach location” milestone. Clearing the final dungeon opens Region Resonance.

Region-conquest quests

Every region carries an implicit completion quest — nothing to accept, it is derived from your map progress. To finish a region you must:

• Unlock every combat tile in the region, and
• Clear the region’s dungeon.

The requirement is simply combat-tile count + 1 (the +1 being the dungeon). When both are done, a claimable quest appears; claiming it grants +1 unspent skill point. Each region can only be claimed once. See Regions for the region list.
