A Coming Legend

Lately you’ve been pondering what really defines a true hero. As you watch the daily training sessions, you can’t help but wonder who of your men might have the capacities to stand out from the rest – to become one of the greatest heroes of Eidolon. You do have a hunch, though. Some of them show much more potential than others. But what is it that makes them superior to the rest? Is it their sublime arena skills? Their ability to bring home the bloody heads of beasts from the wilderness? Their indefinable knack for accomplishing challenging tasks and quests? Or is it perhaps their charismatic nature?

You have come to the conclusion that the one hero to rise above the rest and receive the ultimate glory must have it all. To become truly legendary, he must make himself a legacy, which is truly extraordinary by excelling in all disciplines.

You have decided that it is about time you put one of your heroes to the ultimate test, and you know of one setting that would be fitting for this particular purpose: ”The Valley of Kings”. You have been very reluctant about sending any of your men to this ancient and truly dangerous place, but now you feel it is the right time – time to test the true potential of one of your men.

The question is, though: Whom do you consider a coming legend?


- Battle skills, bravery and perhaps intelligence I would say but probably high skill in all attributes..?

The same for me...seems all attributes are required? If so,this is sure a quest for a legend hero...

or maybe all the text hints for an hero who has already showed potential to be a legend,like an already adventurer/veteran/ranger?

Got the same quest, sending this guy on lvl 1 hoping for 20 shields.

Strength 10
Bravery 9
HP 200/200
Dexterity 13
Toughness 11
Morale Soaring
Intelligence 11
Swiftness 9
Leadership 10

Figured it best to send a hero with high in basicly all skills, as earlier mentioned it seems likely he will encounter more or less every thinkable challenge. He has also been both hunting, questing and fighting and got good experience on all fields, though i don't think that will have any effect. I don't think he will need a 10 in all skills when so many are required. What do you reckon?

I had the impression that the more skills that are needed, the lower the requirement for each skill. Don't know if this is right though. I have one hero who have completed "the chosen one", he had 10 or more in all skills except leadership. So maybe you are right!? Otherwise it might be foolish to send the above mentioned hero as bravery and swiftness are very likely to be important in this quest, i guess only time will tell :S.

I sent this Human on level 2:

Strength 7
Dexterity 13
Intelligence 13
Leadership 9
Bravery 6
Toughness 9
Swiftness 10
SoA 67
Morale Soaring

15 shields. And if he is successful he will gain a title... Fingers crossed.

You sent him this week or in the past week?

This week

Complaints and grievances

Well, he has to be brave. My guy failed at the very first test in this quest because of lack of bravery

I don't think you can pull it without being brave, intelligent and probably also a good leader. I don't see much need for fighting here, but the description definitely does not rule out the need for physical skills.

My orc left on a level 2:

Strength 13
Dexterity 19
Intelligence 12
Leadership 9
Bravery 11
Toughness 15
Swiftness 16

He got 15/15 shields. No black shields... indicates that bravery and intelligence could be decisive. Little orcie here is pretty all-round so there's no telling what made the difference I'm afraid.

Lord Morlak the Sane - Grand Master of the Long-legged, Furry, Little Killer Rabbits with quite long ears.

Human
Strength 17
Dexterity 14
Intelligence 14
Leadership 10
Bravery 13
Toughness 14
Swiftness 12
