It being the first day, the class was meeting in a regular classroom instead of the Danger Shop, where the majority of subsequent classes were likely to be held. Thor looked around at his students, pleased to see so many familiar faces.

"Welcome to More Questing!" he boomed. "If you participated in the class I held last semester, the idea behind this class is a similar one. If you did not, the purpose is simple: I am here to assist you in preparing yourself to deal with the kinds of tasks you may find yourself needing to complete as part of a quest. And a quest could be many things! Perhaps you are a young hero, eager to prove your cunning or strength. Or you have had a quest thrust upon you, and must act quickly to save someone you care about. And sometimes a quest could be a coming-of-age, proving that you are ready to become an adult member of your community."

"Now," he smiled again at the group. "Many of you I am familiar with already, but that does not mean you are familiar with each other. And so, as is traditional during the first week, I shall have you introduce yourselves, with your name, age, and a topic that you'd like to learn about in this class."

Once introductions were finished, Thor spoke once more. "Also, if anyone here is interested in the position of Teaching Assistant, please come speak to me."
