The Traitorous Cousin! -Medium Quest (3-6 days of work required) -Available to all players -Best types: Medium-High POL; Anyone
Quest Posting on the Forum - In the days when the late Emperor Ling still ruled over a unified China, he had a favored cousin by the name of Liu Kanbe. Liu Kanbe was influential within the palace and was expected to be a great member of the family. But then Liu Kanbe staged a coup, where he attempted to take over the role of Emperor by force. By the grace of Heaven, the plot was discovered by an enemy of Liu Kanbe before he could carry it out, he was exposed, and forced to flee the lands, exiled for the rest of his days. Any attempt to return to the capital would result in his death. After many years, he has been rediscovered, and is said to be hiding in Liang province, far to the west. Minister Han Xiyang, faithful servant of the Emperor, has summoned those of courage to return this criminal to the capital, dead or alive.
Quest Information for the Mods only - This quest has some complexity to it. Although any officers will be suitable to complete this quest, high POL officers will have an advantage when dealing with a few choices the PC must make. Furthermore, the best ending can only be achieved through RP, although a debate can be substituted for the final RP scene, and may be required if the player does not present important evidence. The only reward for this quest is gold, and is straightforward in terms of rewards. The true tale is this - the enemy of Liu Kanbe forged evidence to implicate him in a coup, and Liu had to flee the capital. That enemy, Han Xiyang, still lives in the capital, and is in-fact the one requesting help. Kanbe's existence is a threat to his power, and must be dealt with. He is hoping to eliminate him, the last evidence of his guilt, and use the PC as a means to that end.
Appendix - All relevant people in this quest. This is for Mods only! Share this information only if the PC discovers it somehow.
Liu Kanbe - The cousin to Emperor Ling, accused of attempting a coup some years ago. A gentle man, who is skilled in many areas, he has no qualms about killing when he deems it necessary, but prefers other methods if they're available. He was falsely run out of the palace based on forged evidence, and lives a nomadic lifestyle alongside the Qiang peoples in Northern Liang. He hopes he can one day return to the capital, but has little hope for it actually happening. Han Xiyang - The quest-giver, who hires the PC to track down, and capture or kill Liu Kanbe. He is a greedy man who is excellent at faking virtue to fool others. He created false evidence to implicate Liu Kanbe, who often saw through his schemes. He will appear honorable for PCs, but some may be able to see through it and detect his true nature. He is willing to do anything to keep his position, power, and wealth. The best ending requires the PC bring him to justice. Anyang - The woman who will brings the PC to meet Liu Kanbe. She is stern, has no sense of humor, and completely devoted to Kanbe. She is also fierce with a blade, and is willing to lay her life on the line for Kanbe and his dream of returning home. Should the PC have Kanbe killed (either directly or through execution at the capital), Anyang will hold the PC personally responsible, and will return at a future date to take revenge on the PC. This will amount to little more than a duel with no serious consequences - although the PC should not know that at the time!
