The Origin of the Quest
Our Quest finds its beginnings in the Shire of Appledore's "Tournament of the Golden Swan". It was adopted by the Barony of Aneala, and now the Shire of Dragon's Bay have developed our own quest, based on the Anealan quest.
To complete this Quest you must succeed in a minimum of twelve categories, one of which must be "Courtesy and Etiquette".
The Categories
One Year and One Day
You may make as many attempts as you wish to succeed in each category, however, you will only have one year and one day to complete this Quest which begins on the day you declare your intention to begin.
You may begin your Quest by placing an announcement on a mailing list or by public announcement at an event (preferred).

Assessment
Each category will be assessed and scored from 1 to 10. To succeed you must achieve an average score of 7.
It is permitted to enter more than twelve categories, and to petition to have your best twelve scores counted. Scores will be considered and determined by a panel of at least three peers of the realm, one each from the polling orders.
Please note the standards are high as this is meant to be a challenge!
