=== Questions about Quest Names===

The quest names are the ones that I used in my Beginner's Guide, but most are not the official quest names. They're just descriptive since the game doesn't really tell you quest names. Some of these are required quests, some are optional and some are mutually exclusive: The quests are more-or-less available in the order I listed them since most have level requirements. Officially, though,
 * Privateer's Hold - not necessarily a quest per se, but if you don't get out of Privateer's Hold, you're not going to be doing much of anything, so I included it as a required quest; technically it's just the starting location (kind of like the starting dungeons in Arena or Oblivion or the Census and Excise Office in Morrowind)
 * Lady Brisenna's Letter: officially "Instructions from the Empire" (required)
 * Checking up on Nulfaga: officially "Concern for Nulfaga" (optional)
 * Moriah's Letter: officially "Morgiah's Wedding" (required)
 * Mynisera's Letters: (optional)
 * Helseth's Blackmail: officially "Blackmail" (optional and mutually exclusive with "Elysana's Robe")
 * Cyndassa: officially "The Beast" (optional - I think - it's one route to the letter)
 * The Courier: officially "The Emperor's Courier" (optional - I think - it's the follow-up to Cyndassa's quest)
 * Orsinium - officially "Orcish Emancipation" (required)
 * Interlude #1 - officially, I believe, it's "Mantella Revealed", but it isn't really a quest (the player doesn't have to do anything); it's just some letters that arrive before the next quests kick in
 * Lhontun's Brother - officially "The Missing Prince" (required)
 * Elysana's First Quest - officially "Elysana's Robe" (optional and mutually exclusive with Helseth's)
 * Elysana's Second Quest - officially "Elysana's Betrayal" (optional)
 * Lich's Soul - (required)
 * The Painting - officially "Painting the Truth" (required)
 * The Blades - officially "The Ancient Watcher" (required)
 * Medora's First Quest - officially "Freeing Medora" or "Medora's Freedom" (required)
 * Unicorn Horn - officially it's part of "Freeing Medora" - I seperated it because it's a seperate dungeon crawl
 * Barenziah's Book - (optional)
 * Dust of Restful Death - (required)
 * Lysandus' Tomb - officially "Lysandus' Revelation" (requried)
 * Woodborne Hall - officially "Lusandus' Revenge" (required)
 * Interlude #2 - doesn't exist as a quest; I just put it in as a heads-up
 * The Totem - officially "Who Gets the Totem?" (required)
 * Interlude #3 - doesn't really exist; it's the finish of "Who Gets the Totem?" (required)
 * The Mantellan Crux - officially "Journey to Aetherius"


 * Morgiah's Wedding, Soul of a Lich, and Orcish Emancipation all lead to the Emperor's letter.

The quest names present a problem because of linkage to other articles. For example, there are articles on Orsinium and the Blades, so the quests can't really be called "Orsinium" or "The Blades". Marstinson (talk) 22:35, September 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * The Missing Prince, Painting the Truth, Medra's Freedom, Dust of Restful Death, the Ancient Watcher, Lysandus' Revelation and Lysandus' Revenge all deal with Lysandus.
 * Mantella Revealed, Who Gets the Totem and Journey to Aetherius are a third questline that depend on completing the other two.
 * All of the others are optional quests.
