    @brief
        Handles Quests which have different states for different players.
        LocalQuests have (as opposed to GlobalQuests) a different state for each player, that means if for one player the status of the Quest changes it does not for all the other players which also possess this quest.

        Creating a LocalQuest through XML goes as follows:

        @code
        <LocalQuest id="questId">
            <QuestDescription title="Title" description="Description." /> //The description of the quest.
            <subquests>
                <Quest id ="questId1" /> //A list of n subquest, be aware, each of the <Quest /> tags must have a description and so on and so forth as well.
                ...
                <Quest id="questIdn" />
                </subquests>
                <hints>
                <QuestHint id="hintId1" /> //A list of n QuestHints, see QuestHint for the full XML representation of those.
                ...
                <QuestHint id="hintIdn" />
                </hints>
            <fail-effects>
                <QuestEffect /> //A list of QuestEffects, invoked when the Quest is failed, see QuestEffect for the full XML representation.
                ...
                <QuestEffect />
            </fail-effects>
            <complete-effects>
                <QuestEffect /> //A list of QuestEffects, invoked when the Quest is completed, see QuestEffect for the full XML representation.
                ...
                <QuestEffect />
            </complete-effects>
        </LocalQuest>
