The Main Story is a series of Story Quests involving an overarching plotline for the Phelion species. 

There may be an Event Period for Story Quests during which additional rewards are available and requirements are less strict. After the Event Period is over, the Event rewards will no longer be available, and you must complete a Development Quest for your Phelion in order to participate in them. 

Character development note: without participation in quests, you can mention a Phelion's role in the Main Story so long as they are always on the Academy-side and never become Aphel-touched; you also cannot get quest-exclusive rewards without full participation.

There are three "major routes" with different additional final rewards: Academy, Destabilized, and Hive. You need to own only one Phelion to take the normal Academy route; you must own at least two to take two routes, and you must own at least four to take all three routes.  The Academy route has only the standard final rewards; the Destabilized route allows you to have a Volatile Phelion (monstrous form), and the Hive route allows you have a Chromatic Phelion (multiple color palettes).

Entries to the quest can involve multiple Phelions, or you can have multiple entries for different Phelions.
