The quest will begin at The Traveler's Rest in The City. Anyone wanting to add to the worldbuilding and specify areas, history, names, etc be my guest and we'll build upon those qualities.
A book collector is looking to seek out any rare documents, tomes, or other written artifacts. He has contacted the local adventurer's guild (Insert Name Here) and is willing to offer a fairly substantial reward upon receiving these items but he has also offered to partially finance the expedition.
If you wish to be one of the adventures then you should start off at the inn. Possibly conversing with Ruhn about the quest. If your character is new to the guild then you would have heard Ruhn was interested in the quest. Please give me your ideas.
It's raining, around early spring. We could make the time mid-morning or afternoon.
The inn is built into the exterior curtain wall at the south gate. I'll supply a map and other screenshots.
View from the east wall.
Best words to describe the city: Drab. Gloomy.

Amyka would be an outworlder, I thought that perhaps someone from the other side may have found a way to activate what would be believed to be an Eluvian before crossing back into their own world and being killed to ensure no one else would follow through. Amyka would have been called to investigate and be lead to the city.
That's fine.
I will point out that The City is occupying a mountain range. It was built on a stretch of pass that was frequently used over a thousand-year span. So beneath will be older buildings, catacombs, and tombs.
Races allowed. Basic D&D realms races. I can't allow demi gods, gods/goddesses, or chaotic evil.

Happy to throw Hallr in as a pre-existing adventuring guild member. Probably a not massively common sight around in terms of amount of jobs taken, on the newer side, but not a completely strange face. As possible to spot around as not.
I am loving the setting screenshots.

"It's a dark, gloomy, dirty city, but it has its charm."
"It's the pretty pink flowers, pennant flags and bright sign. It still makes it look bright and somewhat pretty amongst the dark grey and gloomy."

As he's an existing guild member then he'll know of Ruhn, more by sight than indulged interaction. Ruhn's fairly new to the guild but hasn't made many acquaintances. Ruhn and his brother originated from the lower part of the city. We can call it the Old Quarter. We could have the Noble Quarter, The Shrine Quarter, the Merchants Quarter, and the New Quarter. Would that be suitable?

That's perfectly fine with me. Since Amyka is an outsider, I'll go with others prefer to establish.
Has anyone thought of the new or established religion and how it would view the one these ancient priest would have tried to establish (from Darkfeature's original idea which was excellent) Who would be this book/tome/document/artifact collector and what purpose if any would they want these items? Would they be linked or linked in a way that would not be obvious? (perhaps a lock mechanism, puzzle, enchantment lies on them. Just getting ideas out.)
Dalonath will be portraying the collector. I believe Darkfeatures had mentioned the collector was connected through his ancestors.
'An art collector has studied this myth and found there is truth behind it and contacts an adventure guild to have the first piece recovered. He wants to collect all the pieces and discover the formula, he has his own goals in mind. He has no skill in magic himself but he believes these broken pieces of mural will give him that power. He could be a descendant of one of the followers or one of the priests.'
If he's a descendant then at least one of the priests was elven.
As for the items he seeks, it could be possible they react with each other.

"OOh! Look! He's the sexy bad guy...again."
You're going to turn me into something horrid like a newt!

"Trust me. Once I have my ancestor's magic you'll be turned into newt food."
*Whines and makes gagging noises with her head downcast.*
Dalonath could possibly be the 'bad guy'. However, there have been a few other suggestions. I'm open to more. Plot twists and turns, unveiling the obscure are what's needed in adventure.
Good morning.
@BayLeafBard. Thank you so much for this wonderful character.
After several new council members were elected, a law prohibiting women from serving in guard positions was enacted. Aliana was once a member of the militia but is now considering joining the adventurers guild or one of the mercenary guilds. She will of course join the adventurer's guild.
The pantheon of gods would make it easier for people joining the group who already have a deity listed in their character's profile.

"Cool."
If she's been in the militia then it's possible she'd met Alex, even arrested him.

What a fun idea!
Perhaps he has a little crush on her. Having been arrested by a female guard has influenced him and he's trying to behave.
