They are essentially non-player [[Adventure mode|adventurers]] acting on behalf of their parent entity, slaying some beast or retrieving [[Artifact|artifacts]] the entity laid a claim on. | |

They will arrive as [[Visitor|visitors]] to your fortress, inquiring about an artifact's whereabouts at your tavern and chatting with the locals or other visitors. If you don't have that artifact, they will use the [[rumor]] system used by [[Diplomat|diplomats]] and other visitors to find out where to go next. If you do have it, and its presence is confirmed (because, say, one of your dwarves mindlessly opens their mouth about it), one of the following may happen: |

Accomplishing quests increases your [[reputation]], though keep in mind that several actors may lay a claim on the same artifact, so satisfying one party will necessarily alienate the other. Alternatively, if you've successfully retrieved an artifact, and it happens to be ''very'' useful, such as [[steel]] equipment of the highest quality, nothing prevents you from keeping it for yourself and disappearing. |
