The Halas Prelude event is now available on Live servers. Currently, this quest is only available from Guides (a sanctioned group of volunteer players), GMs, CMs, and other SOE staff. Stay tuned to open chat channels!
It’s a brief quest, dealing with the rediscovery of Halas. The quest rewards 2 books. We’ll post a link to a writeup of the quest soon.
How to Get the Quest
From Domino:
The Halas Prelude Event will initially be given out by Guides and SOE staff until shortly before the update launch.
Although there are no guides on PvP and exchange servers, the CS and Community staff are able to give out the quest on these servers. So keep your eyes open, you never know who might be around!
The last week before Game Update 56 launch, NPCs will be added to give out the quest on all live servers, since it’s not possible for guides, CS, and community to catch every last person who may want the quest.
When i tested halas a week ago i noticed a quest in kelethin that was a little bit near the broker. A priest of marr had some barbs around him talking about how they keep having dreams of the marr twins, and mithy carrying out his dead sister with a sad look on his face and they keep having visions of halas even though they have never walked the streets of that city in their entire lives. I took the quest but i never got around to doing it. It sounds interesting.
