    @brief
        Represents a Quest in the game.
        A Quest has a list of subquests and a parentquest (if it is not a rootquest).
        Each Quest exists only once but it has a different status (inactive, active, failed or completed) for each player.
        A Quest has several hints (QuestHint) that can be unlocked through QuestEffects and then display aid in solving the Quest.
        A Quest has a list of QuestEffects that are invoked when the quest is failed and also a list of QuestEffects that are invoked, when the Quest is completed.

        Quest itself should not be instantiated, if you want to create a quest either go for LocalQuest or GlobalQuest, whichever suits you needs better.
