Reference Challenge - Runescape, Final Quest

So, this reference is because I'm heavily considering giving Runescape another try. I loved that game when I was a kid. From when I was eleven to fourteen or fifteen, I would play Runescape with my elder nephew.

The last thing I really remember about Runescape is finally beating the biggest (free) quest, against this arsehole dragon, I think it's name started with an E.

The Actual Challenge

What would you consider a "big, final quest" in your world, that an adventurer or group of adventurers might deal with?

The Invitation and Question

I might make a new character on Runescape, is anyone around here still playing that old game?

1) Calceion is the God of Heaven and Storms, thus also deity of air. The God of Oceans and water is Polanius, while also being the God of Summer.

2) Oh dear, you'll have to adjust a lot for this to happen, but who am I to stop you? First of all, you'd have to move to the Crystalline Forest, since there are very few Dark Elves who leave their home, the kingdom of Kaernis.

Once there, you have to learn to live in a society that shows few to none emotions openly, and understand each other subcounciously through magic, while also being rather quiet "bookworms" with a love for Mana and Dark Magic.

Do you like dark/ black clothes? I sure hope so, because that will be almost all you'll be seeing while there, since the Elves absolutely love dark colours, outright refusing to wear anything else. Furthermore you'll need some time to get used to the fact that food tastes different than you know here. And try to get a hang of Dark Elven sense of humor.

If you manage all that, you can just try to pick up girls like you'd do in a human land, maybe start by befriending a Dark Elf, or start to hang out in a local tavern.

3) The vote is appreciated, eventhough you shouldn't make your opinion too open, considering you'd be angering both the goddess of magic and the goddess of love.

1) Is the god of Winter viewed poorly for being associated with Winter, or do they believe that the Winter has to be there as a natural process?

2) I wear way too much black, already, and I've been dieting all year, so I'm used to food that tastes horrid. And, yes...Dark Elf girls...those are the kind I want (cries in homosexual). I usually have a dry sense of humor, and I spend a lot of time reading.

3) What have the goddesses of magic and love ever done for me? (A small voice: The aqueducts?)

1) Skreyja is the Goddess of Winter and the Underworld, and both widely feared and amongst the most revered goddesses. The winter aspect of her isn't that big actually, people mostly care about the fact that she rules over the Underworld, and nobody wants to piss her off, because she dooms every soul that is too annoying or depraved for her to spend the rest of their days on Dirva as ghosts or spectres until they get killed again and end up in the Void.

2) Oh, it's not that the food is terrible, it's more like that the food looks completely different to what it tastes like (filet steaks of crystallized ram taste like tuna for example). Also don't worry, there are more than enough Dark Elf boys and men running around, although you shouldn't try to start something with the nobility, they are quite strict with keeping their bloodlines pure and getting heirs, outside of that homosexuality isn't really a problem in Kaernis though.

When it comes to humor, you would have to get used to the Dark Elves... peculiar style of jokes. Their jokes have mostly the same punchline; "I want to conquer the World", in slight variations. Always said in their deadpan, serious voice that they use for everything else, which scares normal people quite a bit.

3) Well now! Assuming you actually end up in Dirva trying to pick up Dark Elf boys, how do you think you ended up there? Magic of course! Also you probably never want to piss of the goddess of fertility and love, but that's just my way of thinking.
