==== Excavation is Complete ====
 
The King's excavation team has finally finished securing the hidden subterranean underpass making it permanently safe for human exploration! At the furthest North end of the tunnel, just beneath the mountain range, the excavation team stopped when they discovered something that they did not expect: an immensely powerful, magical protective barrier. The barrier (or "veil" as some of them described it) looked almost like a mirror but with a strange and compelling reflection that defied explanation.
 
  
==== The Cartographer's Theory ====
+
==== Jaqueline the Spice Merchant Returns to Queso Canyon ====
Word of this protective veil spread quickly throughout the Kingdom and it caught the attention of the Floating Islands Cartographer who has recently been all-consumed by studying their profound new discovery: the Legendary Looking Glass. The description of the veil seemed uncannily similar to the inscription on the back of the looking glass' Antique Frame. The Cartographer was convinced that what the excavators discovered beneath the mountain must be the specific spot in Gnawnia referenced in that description: "where the veil between perception and imagination is very thin".
+
The travelling spice merchant Jaqueline, or "Big Jaq" as she's known to friends, has once again setup her Spice Shack in the Queso Canyon! Visit any General Store in the areas of the Queso Canyon region to browse her popup shop where all sorts of spicy deals are available.
  
Upon sharing this revelation with the King, the King decided to test this bold and exciting theory by sending his most trusted subject: Larry, the Friendly Knight! The brave and noble Larry took the Legendary Looking Glass to this thin spot, opened his mind, and looked deeply into it and suddenly found himself on the other side of the reflection and inside the mythical Folklore Forest! What he discovered while there however, turned out to be very concerning...
+
While Big Jaq is visiting, there are also some unique loot drops to find! Boost your Bland Queso collection by recovering Kegs of Bland Queso from mice throughout the Queso Canyon region.
  
==== Larry's Terrifying Discovery ====
+
==== Kegs of Bland Queso ====
Upon entering the Folklore Forest, Larry discovered very quickly that someone... or something had beat him to it! According to legend, the veil was supposed to have protected this land from the mouse invasion that has gripped all the other regions of Gnawnia. But to his dismay, this mystical land has now been overrun as well!
+
Big Jaq's Bland Queso Kegs have been stolen! Catch mice in Queso Canyon for a chance to get a cheesy reward (she won't mind you keeping the kegs for yourself). The kegs come in three sizes and you can use Wild Tonic to shake loose '''double''' the kegs when mice drop them!
  
One extraordinarily powerful mouse discovered the way through the veil and has let in a number of nasty and destructive mice along with him! Larry learned that this mysterious mouse, known as the Mythweaver, has devised a plan that threatens the very history of the Kingdom of Gnawnia!
+
*Small
 +
:'''250 Bland Queso'''
  
==== The Book of Lore ====
+
*Medium
The Folklore Forest is home to one of the most powerful and influential objects in existence: the Book of Lore. The enchanted pages within this book contain the entire history of Gnawnia since the dawn of time but unlike a traditional history book, if the words on these pages were to be changed then history itself will change with them!
+
:'''500 Bland Queso'''
  
The devious and dangerously clever Mythweaver learned of this powerful exploit and has made it his mission to rewrite history so that the mice become the celebrated heroes and the humans become the vanquished foes!
+
*Large
 +
:'''1,500 Bland Queso'''
  
==== A Call to Arms ====
+
'''150 Wild Tonic'''
With all of history at stake, the King is calling upon the hunters of Gnawnia who are ranked Archduke/Archduchess and above to go forth into the Folklore Forest and stop the Mythweaver before it's too late!
+
DOUBLE keg drops with Wild Tonic!
  
Purchase the Legendary Looking Glass from the Floating Islands Cartographer and begin your journey into a place where imagination is the ultimate power!
+
These Kegs of Queso can be collected '''anywhere in the region''', including the Queso Geyser! Fortunately, the kegs are heat-resistant and buoyant enough to safely float in the liquid hot queso at the geyser. As a result, the kegs will appear as loot drops directly from mice and not in nests.
