Iberia MUD Quests

This is the list of current quests and how to finish them. It is divided into 2 sections: the ones that count towards the quest tracking system (using “quests” command in MUD) and the miscellaneous ones (do not count to quest tracking system but are important or useful enough to be highlighted here).
