Wandering through the shifting lands ofTainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalon, you’ll constantly cross paths with people caught in all sorts of trouble. Most aren’t shy about asking for your help, and before long, your journey becomes filled with errands, favors, and personal dilemmas tied to the lives of those scattered across the map.

But not every quest begins with you knocking on someone’s door. Sometimes the story grabs hold of you first. A stranger might call out your name, a passerby could pull you aside, or guards may stop you mid-walk and drag you into something bigger than you expected.
