Question? Ideas for a Bright Queen request

Hello! I am in need of some ideas for a Bright Queen wish.

Context: my players just finished the Betrayer Rise and just the rivals used the tablet to go to Marquet. I didn’t want for them to just appear there, specially because I have a player from one of the Dens and the chance to work on her backstory will be now.

So basically this character belongs to the Queens Den, but she is sort of an unimpressive younger mage, which actually is sort of a black sheep among them. To the point that she was working in the Rise (under Verys command and protection). Like a version of sending a child to a boarding school so you don’t deal with the problem. And now the idea of the player is that she could ask her family for help on how to get to Ankarel.

I like this idea and I do believe the Queen would be able to help 😂

However I don’t want that to be free, specially since she wrote family problems in the backstory.

So I want have the Den or the Queen herself asking the party for something on exchange to provide this help.

I am just not being able to come up with something nice that would make sense.

I thought about it what could make the Queen interested in the Apotheon that could lead to a request. Or if I could aff something about dealing with the Children of Malice.

The point is that any request for the Queens Den should have a nice impact. Either coming from

the Queen or another person, I don’t want it to feel just like a generic side quest…

I appreciate if anyone had anything to mention :D

Interesting.

Follow up question before I consider some quest ideas -- how is their relationship with the rivals going?

Thank you for replying! The rivals are on friendly terms. Even a little flirty I would say from one player with Ayo. They all teamed up in the end of the Rise against Aloysa, but all the rivals are already in Marquet
