So first of
all apologies for the delay. I promise you this HAD nothing to do with pokemon
whatsoever, nope, nope. It is time for the aftermath and quest rewards of the
Heart of Progress.
Aftermath:
You
return to the capital tired but successful. Along the way you notice that the
population is abit polarized about the
handling of the crisis, but with the efforts of the queen and your group you
think the situation can be managed. The city itself seems to not have been hit
by the waves of refugees, life continues as normal and even though you still
hear rumors of what happened up north, it feels distant. As
you arrive at the castle, you are held up at the gates. The Queen and her
bodyguard, enter while you stay at the gate. Before leaving the Queen thanks you profusely
and tells that she was most pleased by your course of action, and will make
sure that her husband hears of it. Five
minutes later, a person who you haven't met before approaches you and bows slightly.
"You are the adventurers right? Yeah, we've been waiting fer ya. Fuse,
Kingsguard.The captain ain't here so I'll
be escorting you to the King. I'll take the weapons too ya know protocol, gotta
do it or the higher ups will be pissed." She
takes you along a different, route up to the audience chamber crossing awkward
pathways, through what seems to be an almost mazelike structure that seems to
be the servants area. After a while you are in the presence of both the King
and the Queen.
"A
job well done all of you. We are still investigating the causes of this
phenomenon, but news from the frontlines assure us that we have gotten the
situation under control. My wife showered your names with praise, and as such I
will make sure you are all amply compensated for what you did. I expect the
following days to busy, but feel free to use any of the facilities in the lower
part of the castle. Thank you for your work, I will not forget this."
After your audience is over you
head to the lower area of the palace through the main corridor. Fuse returns
your belongings and tells you to follow her to the Quartermaster who will
handle the rewards. You cross the scientific hall of the place once again, but
something has changed. The heart is now beating. Rewards: Conway 3200 xp, The replica

As of paragon the world is now to explore in between missions. As you took a
total of one month in finishing this particular quest it is too late to follow
up in any of the others. Still you can choose to explore particular locations
of the world as you please, or even try to convince some patrons to sponsor
such adventures. So if you want to go somewhere in particular you can reply to
this post with your own sugestions and vote.
Sugestions: You are no longer in time to help Lock at the ruins, but they still might be
worth exploring... The feywoods are still on the same place you found them and shrouded in
mistery.
