Create a Quest
Set up a new Quest, its rewards, and its Council.
A Quest is a deliverable piece of work, such as a feature or a release, prepared by a Council and delivered by Heroes in Steps. The person who creates a Quest becomes its owner (its King), and the Quest gets a key such as QST-042.
Who can create: the King and the Council roles (Wizard, General, Alchemist, Warden). Heroes cannot.
Click New Quest
