Quest Overview

The goal of this quest is to find Exploration Markers that have been placed at different locations all over Dereth and its surrounding islands. Each patch ten new Markers are added to be found. Some Markers belong to a particular theme (ex. they are found near Festival Stones) but some are completely random locations. The pattern appears to be that there is an official theme every other month, however, during months without a an official theme there are still unofficial themes (like markers found near places associated with Grael) that do not have a special title for finding them.
