Is there a way to receive the quest "Through a Veil Darkly" other than through the crown store ? Both "The Missing Prophecy" and "Of Knives and Long Shadows" are acquired in the game. And "Room to Spare" can be acquired either way.

Also Summerset being a new "chapter" does it means a new tutorial ? From Coldharbour to Firemoth Island to ....
First I give my toons a prequel to their story ... doing all the miscellaneous quests of their province of origin. Then they follow the playstyle of "What Order Should I Do ESO's Story Arcs? - A Guide"

    Out of curiosity, why do you want/need to avoid the Crown Store for the quest starter? It's free. I can understand wanting the immersion of walking up to a person or wall poster, or getting something in the mail, but using the Crown Store means you can trigger the start wherever you are (it involves a magical projection appearing to you, so it's plenty immersive) and only trigger it when you want on the character you want.

    You can go to the Mages Guild hall in the first big city of your alliance's first zone and find Vanus there to start the quest. In EP, that would be Davon's Watch, etc.

    I checked all the guild halls in every single zone for the Ebonheart Pact, including Eyevea. No sign of Vanus at all.

    I tried to do the same as op and went to Vulkhel Guard, he wasn't there when I arrived, relogging didn't do anything either, had to use the crown store.

    One of my guildies is saying that doing this quest on every character will grant some sort of advantage once Summerset comes out. Something about being able to farm the mats for crafting rings when Summerset is released without having to do a tutorial. But if history serves, ESO hasn't worked like that. If you did "Of Knives and Long Shadows" prior to (or after) Clockwork City was released, you didn't get anything special for doing it on every character (besides the usual quest gold and experience). Can anyone point to any documentation that would imply having an advantage for completing "Through A Veil Darkly" on every toon right now?
