Scrolls of Alexandria
The Great Library, as it was once called, was founded in Alexandria, Egypt during the Ptolemaic Dynasty. It was reportedly burned to the ground by Julius Caesar on accident during a campaign. The accumulated knowledge held within the walls of the Royal Library was vast and most of it was lost. However, select scrolls were saved and taken to a temple in the Serapeum district of Alexandria where a new collection of scrolls was maintained. One such was a scroll regarding the Sphinx and the sort of magic that was used in their creation. To replicate this magic, one must find the scroll in Alexandria and find a translator. After doing so, one would discover the components required are: a scarab beetle from an Egyptian tomb, a whole saffron crocus from Crete, an ounce of brine salt from the Dead Sea, and a piece of electrum ore taken from the bottom of Lake Victoria. Bringing these items together into a bowl and heating them to a melt will release the magic required to imbue one with the needed strength for bringing about a Sphinx.
The thread for acquiring a Sphinx must be 100 posts long and requires exactly two participants, the number of divinity according to the spell. The Quest must be started in Africa.
Even upon completing the thread members require 100 posts on their character before they may acquire a Sphinx character.
Important Note: Abandoning a quest will result in a penalty, to be determined by the Staff. Examples include a temporary ban on participating in quests, losing points, etc.
If a quest is abandoned and the quest no longer meets the minimum requirement of characters, a volunteer can join the quest.
