The wilderness of Luminari is avast expanse with a lot of potential for different missions and ideas. To incorporate the wilderness more into the MUD experience i was thinking about tribes and different settlements around in the wilderness. These could be expanded and tribes would be banding together for the requiem. The requiem is the day where the the dead rise up to go against the tribes because the people of the tribes are cursed by the gods. The men of the tribes went against the gods and would not worship the gods. The punishment for this uprising was the requiem. (Could expand on the men that led the uprising, possible expansion quest with another uprising against gods)
These level of the tribes could fluctuate but a majority would be low level. The wilderness at this time would be filled with the undead and you can fight against them.
If you fight against the undead, you would be on a quest with the chiefs of the tribes. you would join the quest at their meeting at before the day of the requiem. You will have to kill a certain amount of the undead before the end of the requiem.
If you fight with the undead, you will side with the leader of the undead (insert legit name for the leader). You will go to the wilderness to meet up with this leader to join the quest. If you join this quest, you will have to clear out a tribe so the undead can take over.
that was just an idea, please expand on this idea.
