  There are a number of entries here, I'll cover them in the order they appear, then explain the other options this quest doesn't use.

  === step ===
  Followed by a number, this marks the start of the step definition, which continues until you reach the next end_step
  The step numbers are what you will need to use to refer to this quest in dialogs and other events. It is good practice (though not required) to number steps 10,20,30, etc, that way if it is necessary to add additional steps at a later date, it will not be necessary to hunt through maps and dialogs for existing step numbers to change.
+ 
+ === finishes_quest ===
+ 
+ If this line is present in the quest step, then being advanced to this step causes the quest to be marked as 'complete.'
+ 
+ 
+ === link_region ===
+ 
+ ** TODO **
+ Should be followed by the name of a region, as defined in the regions file; indicates that the region in question is somehow connected to the quest. Once client side interfaces to this are supported, then expect there to be a dropdown - 'show only quests connected to .....'
+ 
+ This should be used when updating to a quest stage would let the player know to go there, not before. (ie, if the NPC says go to 'navar and speak to foo' then link_region navar, if he merely says 'try and find where foo lives and speak to him' then you probably shouldn't link Navar until some other character hints to go to navar - and these would be two separate steps in the quest).
  
  === description ===
  
  descriptions act the same as the description for the quest overall, but have a slightly different meaning. The description of a step should be thought of as a 'what just happened/what should I be doing now' type of text, whereas the quest description is more abstract.
