A number of people compete in a reality competition that takes place against the backdrop of a high fantasy setting, the kingdom of Everealm. While the ongoing storyline is scripted and the contestants are interacting with actors throughout the competition, the actual challenges and eliminations are genuine and determined by the contestants’ abilities and decisions.The Quest Season 1 Download
In each episode, the contestants (called “Paladins”) compete in a challenge related to events in the storyline. The winning Paladin receives a “mark” of a virtue corresponding to the challenge; it is a medal that the Paladin wears, however, this medal doesn’t save them from elimination.[5] A predetermined number of losing Paladins are subjected to a subsequent challenge (the “Fates’ Challenge”), and the winner of that challenge remains safe from elimination (“banishment”). The remaining Paladins, including the winner of the Fates’ Challenge, decide which of the losing Paladins should be banished; the Paladins deliberate as a group and then each publicly stands behind the Paladin he or she wishes to save from banishment. The Paladin with the least support is banished.The Quest was developed by a production team who had produced The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Amazing Race and Queer Eye. The local service company was Gebhardt Service Productions.[6][7]The first season was set in the Kingdom of Saenctum and was filmed on location in Austria, for the most part at Burg Kreuzenstein,[8] just north of Vienna.[9] Arie Bohrer of Location Austria of The National Film Commission of Austria,[10] said that the location was very film-friendly and had a huge courtyard which lent itself to set construction. The castle was closed to the public for a month and the furniture was moved out and replaced with props. Location Austria grants funding subsidies for scripted film and television productions but The Quest was not eligible as reality shows are largely extemporary.[7]The reboot was filmed on location in Calistoga, California at Castello di Amorosa.[11]
