Quest Background: Reports say that the Crown of Sydrian, a powerful ancestral symbol, has been found. Recovering the artifact will restore the kingdom's spirits amidst the recent fighting.Objective: Recover the crown, located in a lair on the map.
You will be under attack by a minotaur horde nearly immediately. The best way to deal with those minotaurs to is use your Wizards guild's spells. The first thing you should do is to upgrade your wizards guild to level three to obtain the lightning storm spell. When the minotaurs finally arrive, you can decimate their horde by using lightning storm. Simply cast the spell at the center of their group and watch them go down. It is preferable that you have a hero nearby as they do down since your hero will receive money, which in turn will transfer back to your account through taxation or extortion.
With a few well-placed lightning storms, you should be able to defeat the initial wave with a large amount of gold left over for you to build up your base. You can recruit more wizards if you prefer. Since there will be more minotaurs coming, wizards can make quick work of them due to the minotaurs' slow speed, provided that there are guardhouses to distract them from fighting the wizards.
There are a few elven settlements on the map for you to find. Other than that, there few other surprises remaining in this quest. Once you've found the crown site, destroy it to win the quest.
