The Secret Message

This installment Event is in relation to Halloween 2k7, it started on July 10, 2007. This page contains reprints from GAvSim.net. The story line-related event was initiated by way of PMs sent out to users from Edmund and the Von Helson Sisters. Both have a simple quest that costs 500 Gold to complete and awards a brooch item: the Black Orchid Brooch from Edmund and the Blood Drop Brooch from the Von Helsons.

Overview
Edmund and the Von Helsons are asking for Gaians' help... but to what end?

What are these mysterious contributions building up to?

Who do you support?

Details:
This quest is offered in an unusual manner. A PM was sent out from [NPC] Edmund, requesting for the user to come to his shop, where the quest is actually accepted. The other PM was sent out from [NPC] Von Helson Sisters, requesting for the user to meet them in private. The PMs could not be placed in the Savebox, as they were not actual PMs sent to the Inbox.

Mysterious Ingredients for Edmund
''Gaians tracked down the garlic and black orchids for Edmund. They were found in Barton Flowershoppe, 250 Gold for the Garlic and 250 Gold for the Black Orchid.''

Edmund: Dialogue
Ah, there you are. I'd begun to worry. My request of you is simple, but it's of greater importance than you could possibly know: I need you to bring me garlic and black orchids.

I've heard that a new shipment has arrived in a store in Barton, but I can't get the items myself -- my every move is being watched. There may be some expense involved, but please trust me that this is a noble cause.

Thank you so much for your help, USER. You may never realize how important your work is to Gaians everywhere.
