Before I show you the guide here is a short video made by me showing King of Dragon Pass game play.
So if you don’t have the game yet, buy this amazing game from A Sharp today! http://a-sharp.com/
Here are some of the most important quests with their corresponding myths. I don’t want to ruin your game by giving you spoilers so I’m not going to show you every quest, just the ones that are really useful and the ones that you need to beat the game.
Click on the links to see the pics. Note that you may get different results depending on whether you assigned magic to quests or not. The best thing to do to get consistent results is to to do the Lhankor Mhy quest to learn all the details of a quest, have a trickster on the ring, sacrifice to the god before heroquesting…
Or you can just read my guide 
The most useful quest is the Issaries the conciliator. If you are suffering from cattle raids, you can use this to make that raiding tribe your friend. This quest is also necessary to finish the game. The following quests listed below are the quests my leaders have done.
The Making of the storm tribe
- Orlanth and the Doubting wheel
- Orlanth and Yinkin
- The God in The cube and Vadrus
- Orlanth and the Other Clans
- The Clans fight the night tribe
Endal began the Storm Tribe heroquest. Endal was told by Ernalda to make a tribe, so that he could challenge the Emperor.
But the Doubting Wheel rolled up and told Endal not to make a tribe. He tried to catch the Doubting Wheel in a net. When he threw a net over it, the Doubting Wheel shrank down and became a tiny thing, small enough for Endal to put in his purse.
Endal found Yinkin, who said he would join the tribe if Endal could defeat the champions of the Plant Tribe. Endal fought both of them. He tore off the many feet of Rustling Veins, which gave it sustenance. He blunted the many swords of Sharp Green, which gave it power. The Plant Tribe was defeated, and Yinkin said that his Cat Clan would join the Storm Tribe, provided it finds a way to remember its good laws.
Endal found the Knowing God trapped inside a great cube. He recited a poem no one had heard before. The poem caused the cube to crumble, and the Knowing God was freed. The Knowing God agreed to make the Marks On Bark Clan part of the Storm Tribe, so long as this new tribe had fierce warriors.
Endal found Vadrus, who had decided to fight Yinkin and his Cat Clan. He challenged Vadrus to a contest of strength. Vadrus accepted the challenge. They arm-wrestled, and Endal won. You have bested me, so I am obliged to do as you wish, Vadrus said, I will seek a foe other than Yinkin, and may even attend this confederation moot of yours so long as that accursed cat is not among the chieftains there. Endal found more chieftains to bring their clans to the confederation moot, but when they got there, they fell to fighting, and blamed him for making contradictory promises.
Ernalda brought him implements of tribal regalia. She brought the Chest of Torcs, with which he could gift the clan leaders. She brought the Hall of Understanding, where people would settle their differences by talking them out. She brought the Crown of Authority, which made people respect his sacral powers and pledge allegiance to him. Most of the clans agreed to make the tribe, but there were still some who were stubborn.
Then warriors of the Night Tribe came and attacked the quarrelling clans. Endal directed the others to fight the Night Tribe. Everyone banded together to fight these hungry enemies. After they defeated the night warriors, they acclaimed Endal as their king. Endal returned to the land of mortals, his quest successful. Our friends in the other clans said that this heroquest would be well-remembered when our next king was chosen.

Uralda’s Blessing
- The coming of Hunger
- The attack of the biting things
- In the Camp of the two legs
- The Bulls are slaughtered
Eonislara began the Uralda’s Blessing heroquest. Eonislara went back to an ancient time, a time before Umath, before Yelm, and long before Orlanth, a time where everything was good for her four-legged people. But things were bad for the two-legged people, who were hungry, and asked Eonislara’s bulls for help.
She found a high place in order to watch the two-legs as they left. The bulls chased the two-legs away, and the two-legs yelled and shrieked most piteously. The biting things came, and Eonislara could not protect her children from them. So she embarked on a journey to the home of the two-legs.
First, she was attacked by large biting things. Eonislara withstood the first attack of the biting things, but was wounded. Second, she was attacked by biting things with hollow teeth full of poison. Eonislara withstood the second attack of the biting things, but suffered further injuries. Third, she was attacked by biting things that swoop down from the air.
Eonislara withstood the third attack of the biting things, but again her flesh was torn, and the world swam before her eyes. Although it took every last bit of her strength, Eonislara made it to the tula of the two-legged people.
Eonislara was glad she had watched for their trail when they were chased away by the bulls. Eonislara attempted to enter the two-leg camp, but the two-legged bulls tried to capture her and pen her up.
She made the secret sign which came from a cave to Ernalda. Ernalda noticed the sign, and from the greeting Ernalda gave her, Uralda recognized Ernalda as her mother.
Life is almost good, Ernalda said. But my children have found this new thing called hunger, and I do not know what to do. Eonislara said she had a plan. Eonislara headed back to her people, this time with some of Ernalda’s two-legged bulls to protect her. She told her bulls to tell the herd to get ready for a journey to the land of the two-legs. The bulls did not want to understand why. They also did not want to be without cows, so they followed her, all the way to the two-leg encampment, where they lived for some time.
The bulls saw the two-legs cutting up and eating other cows, and were afraid. Eonislara said to them, A little lost blood is nothing, when there is life to be given. The bulls accepted what Eonislara said, and troubled her no more. Later, the cows complained that the two-legs were taking their milk, and Uralda explained that by treating the two-leg children as their own, there would always be two-legs. And, wherever there were two-legs, there would be fat and happy cows. This comforted them. Eonislara returned to the land of mortals, her quest successful despite her wounds. Over the next few days, people from all over Dragon Pass brought us cows, thanking for having performed the Blessings of Uralda heroquest, and bringing health and fertility to everyone’s herds.

Ernalda feeds the tribe
- Ernalda is drained by Daga and she meets the Aldryami
- Ernalda bargains with Maran Gor
- Ernalda pleads with Ty Kora Tek
- Ernalda meets her unborn daughter
- Ernalda gives the right answer
Eonislara began the Ernalda Feeds the Tribe heroquest. Daga, god of drought, attacked Eonislara. Eonislara survived Daga’s blows.
Eonislara went to the elves and asked for their help saying that she was no traitor. The elves accepted her, and gave her the seed she needed. The seed burrowed into the earth and led Eonislara to Maran Gor, who was keeping Barntar as her thrall.
Eonislara convinced Maran Gor to release Barntar by telling her that without him, the people would starve. Eonislara found Esra and Uralda in the halls of the dead, held prisoner by Ty Kora Tek.
She convinced Ty Kora Tek to let them go since they still had much life in them. Eonislara tried to leave the tunnel in the earth, but a terrible woman stood in the way.
The terrible woman saw that Ernalda understood her mystery, and let them pass. The people rejoiced, looking forward to overflowing bushels now that crop yields would improve.

Issaries the Conciliator
- Issaries sets out to solve the problem
- The Long Noses are causing the problem
- The Big Teeth are eating us
- The Big Teeth are causing the problem
- Issaries solves the problem
- Everyone is happy
Everyone is certainly happy wih this hero quest! Can you say “Let’s be friends”? :-D
Orngerin began the heroquest of Issaries the Conciliator. Orngerin found herself in a strange and blasted place, a place she should have recognized but did not. She found Lhankor Mhy among the Orlanthi there.
Orngerin told Lhankor Mhy that the times were confused and mixed up. Lhankor Mhy said that Orngerin talked too much, but agreed to go with her. Then Orngerin saw a fearsome warrior who had to be Storm Bull. She said, “This way! There is chaos to fight!” “Where?” said Urox, following along.
Orngerin searched for a very long time to find the worst part of the problem. Someone let hatred and mistrust into the world, and they must be tamed, she thought. This realization led Orngerin to dig in a hillside and uncover a passageway.
The group crossed the big water by walking down the steps of the tunnel. Along the way, Storm Bull had to fight many chaos beasts. The worst was a gigantic chaos thing, one whose name could only be pronounced by the dead. Orngerin let Storm Bull fight alone. Storm Bull defeated the chaos creature, slaying it utterly.
Orngerin found the Digging Stick People, who were suffering because the Long-Noses and Big-Teeth were at war. Neither Lhankor Mhy or Storm Bull were interested in helping Orngerin make peace between the warring peoples. Orngerin said to Storm Bull, “A big important battle is coming up, and all peoples must learn to unite, and to fight only their real foes.” Storm Bull agreed to come along, but Lhankor Mhy did not.
Orngerin met with Oriska, the Long-Nose priestess, who said that she had no reason to make peace with the Big-Teeth. She went immediately to talk to the Big-Teeth.
Orngerin met with Paratur, the Big-Teeth war leader, who also said peace was impossible. Orngerin asked the Knowing God for help, interrupting some pointless thing that Lhankor Mhy was doing. Lhankor Mhy said that Oriska was nothing but an overgrown cow, and Paratur just a big alynx. Then Orngerin knew to tell Storm Bull to romance Oriska, and Oriska agreed to attend a peace parley. She told Storm Bull to kick Paratur, and Paratur agreed as well.
Then Orngerin had to decide what to propose to them. She said, “The Long-Noses must trade with the Big-Teeth.” She said, “The Long-Noses must accept that some of them will be eaten.” She said, “The Big-Teeth must only attack weak and sick Long-Noses.” Oriska and Paratur made peace. Through this talking, they made trade. And with trade, traveling began again, and the world started to knit itself back into place. Orngerin had done her work, and prepared to leave the realm of the gods. After the others left, Orngerin was left alone with the tiger Paratur.
Paratur purred, “Now, I never did promise not to eat you, did I?” Orngerin offered to trade treasures with him. Paratur agreed as long we did not offer him a Digging Stick People treasure. Paratur gave Orngerin a necklace of stones that looked like tiger eyes and let her pass.
The people celebrated Orngerin’s successful enactment of the Issaries the Conciliator myth. People of the Ernaldori clan were there to welcome Orngerin, and to voice their esteem for us.

Elmal guards the stead
(FULL DETAILS)
Endal began the Elmal Guards the Stead heroquest. Orlanth left on his great quest, and Endal stayed to guard the stead.
A Chaos creature called the Eater of Skin came and attacked. Endal thrust his spear at it. The spear pierced the creature’s eye, and it screamed in anger. The creature ripped at Endal with one of its seven mouths, and tore open Endal’s chest. Endal protected himself with Orlanth’s shield. The creature ate at Endal where the shield could not protect him. Endal let the creature step on him. The force from the creature’s weight was so great that Endal’s legs were torn from him. Endal seized the Eater of Skin and hurled it into the sky, where it was burnt up, and never seen again.
Our worshippers, back in the ritual ground, had a chance to help Endal knit himself back together. Endal knitted himself back together and everyone, whether from the Aquilonia clan or the Storm Tribe, rejoiced.
More Chaos enemies came, including the Author of Sores. Endal lanced her with a spear. The Author of Sores shook and howled. Green muck oozed from the creature’s body, and it fell upon Endal melting whatever flesh it touched. Endal chopped at her legs. The creature caused the scalp to crawl from Endal’s head, and then bite at him as if it were a rabid animal. But Endal had sliced off her lower limbs, so the Author of Sores died; and the people rejoiced. Once again, our worshippers were given a chance to help Endal knit himself back together. Endal knitted himself back together and everyone, whether from the Aquilonia clan or the Storm Tribe, rejoiced. Then came the Maker of Bad Growth, another Chaos enemy. Endal threw his spear into its ghastly mouth. The spear came back out through its neck, and the monster writhed on the spear like a drunken puppet. Then the Maker of Bad Growth turned the spear into a serpent, and the serpent bit Endal, so that the poison of growth ran through his body. Endal ran around the Maker of Bad Growth on a hallowed horse. The creature became dizzy, and its brains turned to pink ooze and dripped out of its ears. It jumped on top of Endal’s horse, smothering him. Endal burned him with his brightness. The creature caused Endal’s face to swell until it fell from the front of his skull, and writhed upon the ground. But Endal’s brightness burned the Maker of Bad Growth into runny yellow fat, and the people celebrated this victory. For the third time, our worshippers were given a chance to help Endal knit himself back together. Endal knitted himself back together and everyone, whether from the Aquilonia clan or the Storm Tribe, rejoiced.
Endal was approached by a lost love, who urged him to run away, and forget guarding the Storm Tribe’s stead. Endal said, I cannot abandon these people. His old love revealed itself as the Chaos creature called the Teller of Lies, and said, Cursed Elmal, you always put others before yourself, and we creatures of Chaos cannot fight that! In frustration, it departed.
A blind oracle told Endal that Orlanth was dead, and that he should take the crown of the Storm Tribe, in order to protect it. Endal said, I would not be loyal to Orlanth if I believed him so easily defeated. Unable to shake Endal’s steadfast loyalty, the Teller of Lies could do nothing but slink away.
The next day, the Emperor came, but this time Endal knew his visitor was the Teller of Lies. Endal gave the Teller of Lies a magnificent horse, and said it housed his soul. Endal promised to serve Chaos. Teller of Lies was so pleased, and so hungry, that it devoured the horse Endal had given him. But Endal had tricked it; the horse was not his soul, but was also Endal in his bright entirety. Now Endal was inside the Teller of Lies, and could see that inside the Chaos servant was Nothing. Its ever-shifting forms masked only emptiness. Armed with this knowledge, Elmal tore it apart from the inside, using the sharpened edges of the shield Orlanth had given him. And the Teller of Lies, revealed as Nothing, was destroyed.
Everyone said that Endal would be hard to beat in combat now, and that he would know how to look at the world and truly understand its hidden magic.
great job,
thanks!!
Thanks for the wonderful guide!
