First Steps: Guided Introduction
The actual ten-step introductory quest sequence, explained without narrative spoilers.
How the guided introduction works
On first arrival, PotA offers optional guided quest tracking. When enabled, it pins the current quest from the opening sequence; after completion, the next one is tracked. Completing the final quest ends the guided introduction. The wider Quest Book remains available throughout.
