[Antoine] I'm quite busy so ... OH IT'S YOU!
|
Check on Aimee the Jeweler to see if the onyx you brought her was cursed. [-760, 106, 20]
Aimee |

[Aimee] The night is dark and full of stars... dark as onyx, gleaming like gems...
[Aimee are you okay?] [Aimee] The onyx, ___?! I can see the universe within that precious stone you gathered just for me. [I thought that was for the King's Crown?] [Aimee] So precious... So beautiful. [It's too late. I need to tell Antoine you've been cursed.] [Aimee] I am one with the soul of the jungle... |
Report back to Antoine in the Academy about Aimee's condition

[Antoine] How was the Jeweler? Is she okay?

Speak with the Royal Cartographer on the roof of the alchemy building at [-777, 118, -53]

[Royal Cartographer] Salutations citizen! It is rare I find myself with company! How can I be of service?
[I'm looking for the old opal mine.] [Do you have any maps of the Valley I can see?] [Royal Cartographer] An old opal mine eh? I think I know just the spot. It was closed in the aftermath of the war but... oh dear. Yes. That mine collapsed partially. A number of miners were killed in the collapse and their spirits are said to roam the dark shafts still. They call it the Haunted Mine now. The shaft down to the Opal Mine can be found at the end of a path of red and white-spotted mushrooms. Be careful and watch out for spirits! |
Head to the Haunted Mine at [-650, 120, 535]. Follow the red mushrooms until you reach a gravel wall. Mine through the wall to reach an elevator. Inside, complete the minecart puzzle to collect the Opal. Head back to Antoine.

[Antoine] It feels like you've been gone for ages! Now we need to make a crown out of this gem, but since our local jeweler is out of commission we're going to use the next best thing, the blacksmith. Find Orson at the forge and get him to make us an opal crown. |
Meet Orson the blacksmith in his shop at -720 108 23
Orson |

[Orson] A true master of the forge knows the ancient patterns by heart.
[I need a crown made with this opal.] [I want to learn to make something!] [Orson] That is a strange request. Don't we have a local Jeweler to do fine delicates work like that? [She's cursed right now! This is urgent!] [Orson] Well that does sound like a good reason. Alright, I'll see what I can do. Orson snatches up the opal and chisels it down, then adds it to a fresh-out-of-the-furnace helmet. He lobs off the top of the helmet, and you receive an Ugly Opal Crown. |
Speak with Aimee
Aimee |

[Aimee] The skies are dark. It is too quiet... It's gone. My crown is gone!
[Aimee put this crown on.] [Aimee] That's not it! Not it! Not it! [This crown will bring back the one you lost!] [Aimee] Give it here! Help me find it! Aimee scrambles to get the Ugly Opal Crown on and is almost instantly noticeably cured. [Aimee] ___? Why are you here? Everything feels like a blur... [The crown you made with the Onyx cursed you. Where is it now?] [Aimee] I... I think someone came in and took it from me... He said something... something about being a Crown bear? No that's not right... the Crown BEARER! He was the one who commissioned the crown originally. He told me this was all according to plan, and took it! [We need to get that crown back!] [Aimee] Yes we do! Hurry to the King, ___! He has to have been heading there. |
Head to the throne room at -720 123 -105 and defeat the Crown Bearer

[Royal Translator] What in good heavens was that?
[That was me saving the day.] [That was an assassination attempt on the King.] The King mumbles a few words. [Royal Translator] The King agrees with you there. Thank you for your services to the empire!

Let Aimee know what happened at the Castle
Aimee |

[Aimee] ___ I can't thank you enough for saving me.
[I'm just glad you're okay.] [Aimee] Well I think you're well due a reward so I've fixed up this opal crown for you. Thank you again. You should also talk to the King again, he will most likely want to speak with you. They probably managed to find room in the budget to reward you. |
