While on the surface, I’m pretty excited. However, I know how this is going to work. I know how this will all shake out. So, to better explain, let me liken what the quest will be like with the help of Monty Python.

Sabrae and the search for the Holy Atiash

[enter Sabrae riding through the Plaguelands on her raptor]
[clop clop clop]
[boom boom]
[angels sing]
TSERIC: Sabrae! Mage of The Pod People! Oh, don't grovel!
[singing stops]
One thing I can't stand, it's people groveling.
SABRAE: Sorry.
[boom]
TSERIC: And don't apologize. Every time I try to talk to someone it's ‘please don’t nerf me and 'forgive me for dising the mage review' and 'I'm not worthy'.
[boom]
What are you doing now?!
SABRAE: I'm averting my eyes, O Lord.
TSERIC: Well, don't. It's like those miserable Paladins -- they're so depressing. Now, knock it off!
SABRAE: Yes, Lord.
TSERIC: Right! Sabrae, Mage of The Pod People, you shall have a task to make yourself an example in these dark times.
SABRAE: Good idea, O Lord!
TSERIC: 'Course it's a good idea! Behold!
[angels sing]
Sabrae, this is the Holy Atiash. Look well, Sabrae, for it is your sacred task to seek this ‘phat lewt’. That is your purpose, Sabrae: the quest for the Holy Atiash. That and raiding every night for the next year to get it…
SABRAE: ::groan::
TSERIC: What was that?
SABRAE: Nothing O Lord! Thank you Lord!
[boom]
[singing stops]

Blah...
