The Devourer Saga is a major story arc in AdventureQuest, and perhaps its most iconic quest chain. While the saga proper started in mid 2005 with the release of the "Epic Quests", it ties into a great deal of earlier content such as the Carnax Saga as well as demicanonical content. It was revisited during the game's tenth anniversary, which contained a long summary by Falerin Ardendor.
The storyline itself is concerned with the return of an entity known as the Devourer to Lore, apparently intending to finish the destruction he started a thousand years ago. As the saga unfolds, however, it becomes clear that things are not so simple.
Overview[]
The quest chain is uniquely (due to its length, having a total of 75 quests) divided into 8 parts or chapters:
- Chapter 1: Prologue - Also known as the "Epic Quest". An attack on Sage Uldor sends the player on a twisting path that leads them to a being known as the Shadow Master.
- Chapter 2: The Return - A mysterious woman who calls herself the Huntress kidnaps Yulgar as part of her search for a cache of weapons poisonous to the Devourer's minions.
- Chapter 3: Hope - Armed with the Weapons of Salvation, the player is summoned to the Temple of Hope on the coast of Deren and tasked with recovering the eight Prime Orbs so that they can be united in the Temple.
- Chapter 4: The Orb of Creation - Originally called "Flight of the Brilhado". With eight of the orbs safe, the player is sent after the fragments of the shattered Creation Orb, which have been scattered across Deren and are now held by some of the Devourer's most powerful servants, the Brilhado.
- Chapter 5: Chaos - The war against the Network spreads across Lore while the Unity forces in Deren attempt to uncover their plans.
- Chapter 6: Unity - The Network continues its campaign in Battleonia, bringing the organization's internal divides to the fore.
- Chapter 7: Sacrifice & Salvation - The Network's forces make their final push towards the Temple of Hope, culminating in a battle against the Devourer himself.
- Chapter 8: Epilogue - In the aftermath of The'Galin's departure, the people of Lore seek to regain some of what was lost.
A great deal of information relevant to the saga was contained in sources outside of the game itself, which are referred to as demicanonical material. These are IRC sessions on Caelestia.net, but also a series of novellas written by Falerin known as the Histories. The latter provide direct backstory for several major characters involved in the saga; in order of release they are: War of the Words, All That Is Evil Is Not Dark, Manifestation: the Coming Dark, Confrontation, The Path to Greatness, and The Journal of The'Galin/the Uncreator.
