Basic Plot[]
Dragon Hunters are attacking Dragon's Edge and nearby Islands, capturing and injuring the dragons that live there. Your Viking is enrolled to help build up Dragon's Edge's defenses, and helping the dragons that fell under the Dragon Hunters attacks. You'll also explore different islands, learning more about the survival strategies of different dragons, adapted to different environments. You'll also meet the Archaeologist again, at a new digging site on one of the islands.
Meanwhile, a stranger arrives at Dragon's Edge offering help: Harald Forkbeard. Is he to be trusted?

Glitches[]
Home Sweet Dragon's Edge[]
Problem: After the v3.0.0 - The Hidden World update Astrid now runs too fast for the player to catch up, making the quest impossible to be completed.
Solution: Swimming resets the player's speed, meaning that players can start the quest while swimming then come out of the water when Astrid starts walking, this allows the player to catch up with her without any problem.
