Trivia
The original first step for finding the starting NPC was killing mobs in Exalted Reverie. Mobs would have a chance to drop "suspicious blocks", labeled with two numbers and a letter.
The numbers could be used to place the letters on a grid that would spell out the repeating phrase "addmonumentatotheend".
When the letters were colored in as black and the empty spaces as white, a QR code would be shown giving the needed information.
