"Through a Veil Darkly" and more

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 ....
During the afternoon of Loredas, 6 Sun’s Dawn 2e578 a big piece of Aetherius fell to Nirn. It was the first major piece of Aetherius to fall on Nirn in more than five hundred years. It scattered around the world as millions of shards. It was rapidly documented by Lady Cinnabar of Taneth in her pamphlet Aetherial Fragments that "... when three shards meet, they re-form into a silvery prism by unknown process and confer the power unlocked by the merger to a nearby being." The Order of the Black Worm, commonly known as the Worm Cult, reappeared in Tamriel shortly thereafter and some of its members are avidly searching said shards.
In the last week of First Seed 2e579, an arcane explosion occurred in the Imperial City — a night of storms, and trembling terrain. They named it the "Soulburst". That day Emperor Varen Aquilarios disappeared without a trace. His wife, Clivia Tharn, ascended to the Ruby Throne as Empress Regent under the guidance of the Necromancer Mannimarco. Ushering a time of increased instability within the Empire of Cyrodiil which finally grew into “The Three Banners War”.

    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.

    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?
