Good job. Wasn't too long, wasn't too short, had an interesting story. Everything was well crafted. My only criticism is that the combines throughout the quest line felt maybe 30% too slow or something, but overall good job.
the combines felt slow perhaps because we are conditioned to the rush writs with multi-sets of fast combines - I haven't timed it, but does the single slow combine take the same time as a fast multi-set?
Without any buffs, the combines for the sig line are 3-5 minutes each. That is a very long combine. So people are prepared... the tome and orange adornment recipes from the sig line have the same long combine 'feature'.
These combines took me a minimum of three minutes; I can do rush writs - the entire writ- in ± 2 minutes.
