Overall quest distribution: looking goooood
Work still needs to be done:
**getting the listed DOD quest designs rewritten, reviewed, made into proper claims, and opened up to claiming
**mark priorities, so if quests need to be dropped due time constraints, we know which ones to do so with
**faction questlines in particular may need tweaking to give the feel of an overarching narrative. "Emerging themes" point out what I see as these; may need discussion
**quests already implemented in Ascadian Bluffs (Teyn, Fort Ancylis) need to be counted up and reviewed to see if the additional quests still fit in
**Obainat needs some lore conflicts posed by Wicked Water Woes resolved.
**Ishanuran needs major lore documentaiton and questline help.
**Missing documentation on the Ashlanders surrounding the propylon fort: needs help and quest designs written.
**Iliath needs a quest to tie cherry-picked lore from ESO into it's TR reincarnation.
**Both vampire clans need quests, Baluath clan is missing documentation.
**Fighter's Guild could use 3-4 more quests dealing in themes of vigilante justice or monster hunting.
**Temple questline is shaping up to be huge. Some Speaker questlines need to be put into it; some quests might also need to be benched for a later Temple quest hub.
Andothren
Fighter's Guild
Overall: 5-6 quests (last one is a biggie)
Emerging theme: In lieu of good guardsmen as Andothren's law system is corrupt by Camonna Tong, the player is instead called in as a mercenary to settle various safety and vigilante justice issues. There's also some dungeon runs into more dangerous areas for higher level players.
Hammer of Lavacrash: https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/asset/hammer-lavacrash
**cannabalized into Rats' questline, so closed/merged in asset broswer
Dead in the Water: https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/claims/oe-fighters-guild-dead-water
**to be kept in OE; removed from DoD plans
Tomb of Old Heretics: https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/asset/tombs-old-heretics
**sent back to asset browser for future reviews/rewrites, no longer to be in DoD
Shipping Woes Questline: https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/asset/shipping-woes-questline-imperial-navy
**held off on for some other town when we need cool quests
Rat's Questline: https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/claims/andothren-fg-questline
**opened and set to Rats!
Mages Guild
Overall: 9 quests
Emerging themes: research oriented, but as opposed to OE, research by higher-level mages and particularly into Daedric and Dwarven ruins.
Old Forum Questline: https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/old_forum/viewtopic.php?t=23557
**need formal review and turned into a claim
https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/asset/substance-designer-quests

Telepathy Revisited https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/claims/telepathy-revisited-coding-heavy

Dwarves Revisited https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/claims/dwemer-have-souls

Silent Scales: https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/comment/11206#comment-11206
**refitted to a rogue mage, or perhaps player stumbles on them in some otherwise abandoned cave?
Temple
Overall: 9-17 quests
Emerging over-arching plot: a lot of these deal with insanity or sicknesses of the poor that were likely overlooked (or perhaps exacerbated) by Andothren's reputation of being a corrupt gang town. The Temple is doing pretty well handling these, but some priests may crack and resort to extreme measures to fight the corruption.
5-Quest Series by Rot: https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/claims/andothren-temple-questline

And very important note for mod health in general: I'm noticing plenty of quests that were meant for the last two releases but didn't get in due lack of work/reviewing aka time and effort in general. The more quests we put in these releases, the more likely this will happen and stuff will get dropped. It may be we should contemplate a release that is just old quests getting tied-up to address this.
At the least, we need to be sure to mark these claims with priorities. Some are retro-fitted and just in there for filler, for instance, which could be dropped much more easily than some of the capstones and main atmospheric pieces.

Uh oh, and now we have this monster to the Fighter's Guild: https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/asset/andothren-fighters-guild-questline (a very nice monster I'm sure!)

After discussions on Discord, I've decided to try and structure the factions in this release so that there's no more than 2-3 quests a claim, and preferrably just one. This is based on feedback that long questlines are intimidating, as well as lead to a sense of not being allowed much creative freedom with the result. It's also based on how Speaker of the Dead, Khalaan, and OE Mages Guild went through multiple devs and yet seemed to turn out pretty well (minus OE MG's lack of a capstone, but that was cut for time).

IMO many of the quests that have been earmarked for the FG in Andothren could very well be misc quests (and indeed they've been first proposed as such) or could be for some other faction. Which I feel definitely leaves room for this questline: https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/asset/andothren-fighters-guild-questline
The "Shipping Woes" (https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/asset/shipping-woes-questline-imperial-navy) would work as a misc quest that you get from the Andothren docks. A latest rumors could/little advice could direct you there, eg. "Looking for work? I hear captain Llarys Drethi is looking for mercenaries to protect his cargo. You can find the captain at the docks."
"Awoke and Broke" and "Battle of the Bards" feel a lot more like neat random encounters / misc quests than guild quest, tbh. "Tombs of Old Heretics" has "cool wilderness quest" written all over it. Maybe we could make that start in that bar/hunting lodge at the border of Armun and Roth Roryn, west of Menaan (TR_i4-334-Hla_Jule)?
As for the "Hammer of Lavacrash", I'd like to make it a quest given to the player by one of the nameless Mabrigash tribe members, and have the treasure hunt take place in TR_i4-313 It would change the quest a little, but I think it would be good. TR_i4-313 is a ridiculously hard-to-navigate crystal labyrinth, it seems only fitting that one of the Mabrigash witches wanted the player to retrieve an artifact from that place. I would swap the fire atronaches to some other monster though.

It's not that there's no room for it, it's that it's a long questline and that's intimidating to claim. Preferrably it gets broken out so more than one dev can tackle it. The miscellaneous quests can of course be moved to other places as need be.

Arvis's MG questline changes...(moving all others from the list back to Misc. MVP/Asset Browser)
Reference link: https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/old_forum/viewtopic.php?t=23557
Claim needs to be editted still with the following: https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/claims/andothren-mg-questline
**So as not to conflate the Andothren MG themes with the "hapless apprentice" themes in OE MG, the apprentice in Q2 will be a different guy to the fellow in Q5, and the fellow in Q5 is actually a well-seasoned mage, but just isn't used to/doesn't care about MG rules that say it's not in good tastes to be experimenting on locals.
Gnomey: " I'd consider making him somewhat hot-headed, but in a tough guy (with magic powers to back it up) sort of way. You get a lot of tough-guy types who'd pull that sort of thing in other factions like the Fighter Guild while being very competent. I like the idea of having a mage and, to a lesser extent, whole guild with a bit of that attitude." (as Ethalvora is also arrogant in this way.)
Arvis: "He might also be a foreigner, and he might have a somewhat unconventional idea of how to get into Andothren's good graces again "
** The interior used in Q4 and Q7 will be the same one, based on Veranzaris (already in the section file?). In Q4, the MG find nothing of interest after the player pokes around and abandons the interior. In Q7, some tourists have found the cave and managed to get deeper in. The tourguide, in this case, is someone from the MG expedition, probably also after some fun or was paid cash by the tourists to take them out there.
Arvis: "Q4: The ruin is Veranzaris, specifically a slightly edited version of the main hall, but the stairs to the Manic Library are blocked by rocks and the MG troop believes there is nothing down ther. "
Arvis: " Q7: The ruin is still Veranzaris, but now the rocks have been cleared out, and the guy is part of the commando that was originally with the MG expedition in Q4. "
**Q5 doesn't have to involve a cave; just so long as the dev makes sure Ethalvora is giving decent directions to the general location the guy is now kipping out in as an exile.
**The author in Q1 is suggested to be Nelos Llothri, a Dunmer NPC in Almas Thirr, who joined the Temple some time after writing the book. He used to be part of the MG, but started to worry his sanity and if his work was truly helpful. The text for the book is here: https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/old_forum/viewtopic.php?p=307069&sid=a64...
Temple Quests:
My task: to go through these and assemble into a questline for later review. General flow of questline: player is sent to help cure various innocuous hurts and diseases of the locals. The diseases get increasingly weirder and the Temple becomes increasingly strained trying to provide treatment. The questgiver starts to snap and advocates for more and more extreme ways of curing the victims, including just killing them, saying they believe the greed and corruption of the Hlaalu is ultimately to blame for the problems. As the capstone quest, the player has the option of turning in the crazy questgiver to the Ministry of Truth/etc due their extreme actions.
