The Chronicle is LegendaMMO's main questline: 30 chapters in five acts and an epilogue, from level 1 to level 290. Aldo the Chronicler guides you through it, and every chapter takes place in a different region of Nareth. This page describes how the Chronicle is structured – not its twists.
How it works
- Starting a chapter. As soon as you reach the level of the next chapter, a letter arrives: the chapter begins and appears in your quest journal. For the first chapter, Aldo is already waiting for you in the city.
- Aldo the Chronicler. In the Chronicler's "Chronicle" menu you can always check where you are, where to go and what the task is. Aldo can be found in all three capitals and in the chapter regions.
- Journal and tracker. The quest journal and the on-screen tracker show the current task, your progress (for example 12/25), the location and the NPC to visit.
- One after another. Chapters follow each other in order; the next one opens once you have closed the previous one and reached the required level.
Chapter steps
Every chapter is made up of several steps. Step types:
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| Read | Read Aldo's letter or the scene, then move on. |
| Travel | Reach the chapter's region – the step completes on arrival. |
| Hunt | Defeat a set number of the chapter's monsters. |
| Gather | Collect items that the chapter's monsters drop with a certain chance. |
| Chief foe | Defeat the chapter's chief enemy. |
| Choice | Choose between two answers (at the end of chapter 6 you confirm your faction or change it); your decision shapes later dialogue too. |
| Return | Bring the shard or the news back to Aldo. |
Rewards
- Every completed step grants experience.
- Closing a chapter grants more experience, money (the chapter's level × 20 silver), 5 pieces of material and a reward chest.

Chapters and locations
Each chapter comes ten levels after the previous one and takes place in its own region. Chapters set in a dungeon are best played with a party.
Side stories
Alongside the main thread run 30 side stories, one per chapter. A side story opens once the Chronicle chapter with the same number has started and you have the required level; a message tells you so, and a Side stories entry appears in your journal. Several side stories can run at once, each shown in the journal with its own title, goal and progress.
The list of side stories: Side stories.
Side stories use the same kinds of steps as the main thread (reading, hunting, gathering, choices) and take place in the chapter's region. Every step grants experience; closing a side story grants more experience and money (the story's level × 10 silver + 50 silver).
On the Trail of Ash
Csenge the Ash Researcher collects traces of the Ash Cult and the shards in the cities. Her research series has ten stages; each requires traces dropped by Chronicle monsters (from the stage's chapter upwards, with a 6% chance). Every stage grants a permanent bonus, and there is no chance of failure.
| Level | Trace | Amount | Permanent bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 | Ash shard | 10 | Movement speed +5 |
| 50 | Cultist seal | 12 | Attack value +30 |
| 70 | Scorched writing | 14 | Defence +30 |
| 90 | Scaled amulet | 16 | Max. HP +1000 |
| 110 | Ironhorn rune-carving | 18 | Damage against monsters +3% |
| 140 | Ash-sealing pearl | 20 | Attack speed +5% |
| 170 | Inscribed bone | 22 | Critical chance +3% |
| 200 | Frozen ash | 24 | Max. HP +2500 |
| 240 | Smouldering scale | 26 | Attack value +80 |
| 280 | Void shard | 30 | Damage against monsters +5% |
Related tasks
Several recurring tasks are tied to the Chronicle:
- Hero's Journal. In the Hero's Journal in your bag you can follow the Ash Season and the Chronicle Path rewards, the four weekly assignments, your renown with your faction and your legendary imprints. Weekly assignments are completed, among other things, by defeating Chronicle monsters and chief foes, and they reset every week.
- Order Trials. Your class's order master sets you a trial at levels 30, 60, 120, 180 and 240; each one unlocks a new skill rank. See Skill ranks.
- Daily hunts. Huntmaster Borka hands out daily hunts and monster-hunter assignments in the cities.
- Festivals. During the five festivals of the calendar you can take a task once a day from Kalden the Ferryman's "Festival task" menu: gather 20 festival items from any monster (10% chance each), and receive experience and money (your level × 5 silver) in return. Details: Events.
- Border War. During the Border War a personal border-guard assignment awaits in the border regions. See Border War.
- Chronicle Quiz (being reworked). Eliás the Quizmaster's quiz asks about the world of Nareth, free of spoilers: each question appears in a window with four answers, and you have 15 seconds to decide; correct answers score points.

|---|---|---|
| Budbreak | spring | Budstone |
| Solstice | summer | Sunlight pearl |
