Lost Legacies Gameplay Thread (Ending March 16)

I am happy for everyone who was able to actually complete this event and get the rewards, but at this point, I loathe it to the core of my being, to the extent that it's making me hate the entire game. I've spent weeks trying to get the royal envoy to actually show up anywhere, and I've been stuck for days trying to get her to show up to play a game of chess so I can progress past that point. It's a freaking shame... the storyline is actually interesting, and the rewards are amazing... or appear to be, I guess I'll never know.
