Monster bird
No Expiration
Athens Adventurer's Guild
I hear you investigated a bird called an ostrich in eastern Africa. Well we've now received a request for you from a Scholar here.
It seems that a document about a certain living thing has been found in the library. Go to meet the Scholar and listen to their story.

1. """Tall Bird"""
I discovered a very interesting and profound book the other day. In it was well known which in our language is called, "tall bird." It is quite large, like the ostrich you researched. There was something about a large island too.

2. Giant bird from stories and tales
That's right! I've heard of an enormous bird in a myth that passed from Arabic lands to Egypt. The bird you speak of could be connected with the discovery of this "tall-backed bird." In Alexandria you are sure to find people who know of this legend.

3. Just how big?
A myth with a giant bird...
Ahh, it must be "A Thousand and One Nights".
There's a giant bird called Rukh but I don't think it's real.
Anyway, it's big enough to destroy a sailing ship.

4. As seen by Marco Polo
Apart from "A Thousand and One Nights", there is a description of a giant bird in ""The Travel of Marco Polo"".
I heard from a Scholar in Seville that the bird in East Africa actually exists.
If a survey is to be done on this bird then it might be worth paying a visit to Seville.

5. "Records from ""The Travels of Marco Polo"""
You asked of the giant bird in "The Travels of Marco Polo"?
Then first have a read of a transcript in the archaelogy section.

6. Appearance
It looks like an eagle but is huge beyond compare.
It's wingspan is 15m and it's feathers as long as 7m.

7. Aim for the isles of Madagascar!
This bird lives on an island called Madagascar that rises East of Africa.
I don't know if it's the "tall-backed bird" you are looking for but try asking the island's inhabitants.

8. 날 수 없는 새
거대한 새? 음, 확실히 이 섬에 서식하고 있다. 그것도, 자네가 찾고 있는 '키가 큰 새'라고 하는 의미의 이름을 가지는 새다. 유감스럽지만, 그 새는 날 수 없는 새이므로 날개는 작지만 말이야. 서식장소는 이 도시의 뱃사람이 알고있다.

9. 새의 생식지
'키가 큰 새'의 서식장소? 이 섬의 서해안에 있는 상륙지점으로부터 내륙에 들어갈 수 있다. 거기에 가면 발견할 수 있을거야. 다만 조사할 때는 조심하게나. 크기가 나의 배 정도이니까 말이야

10. 결론
희랍어로 '키가 큰 새'의 이름을 가지는 생물은, 마다가스카르섬에 서식하는 날지 못하는 거대한 새였다. 마다가스카르섬의 서해안에서 섬의 내륙으로 나아가, 그 생물을 조사하자.

The Elephant Bird ★★★★★★ (Large creature) Exp:1163 Fame:451
A huge species of bird that lives on the island of Madagascar. They stand at 3m in height and can weigh over 500kg. They lay their eggs in sandy areas, and the eggs alone can weigh up to 10kg. They rely on the heat of the sun to hatch their eggs. They are hunted for their feathers and meat, and if this continues, they will be hunted to extinction.
There is a ton of prequest for this. First is the bird like horse. Then have all the ones up to kind of madgasgar. Then all 6 in madgasgar chain. All must be done before you can pull this quest.
There has to be more prequests then what listed here for this quest with 84 QMP and all the skills I could not pull it. I have over 100 adventure fame so not fame. Since I cannot seem to pull it keeping me from getting ranger class did all but the this demon servant and last 2 in ranger quest line.
I used a Special QMP to pop this quest I believe. and at the time I dont think I had over 100k adv fame yet.
I finally got it almost 100 QMP but finally poped got first 5 alchemy quests while trying to get it to pop so was not that bad I guess.
contrary to couple comments above, by using african translation notes, I pulled the quest after only about 15 qmps
I got it to show up several times without language notes. Too bad I didn't want it at the time. :)
But who knows, language notes might help!
