    @brief
        Handles @ref orxonox::Quest "Quests" which have different states for different players.
        LocalQuests have (as opposed to @ref orxonox::GlobalQuest "GlobalQuests") a different state for each player, that means if for one player the status of the @ref orxonox::Quest "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>
