Odd... yeah, I just double checked and we were all thinking of the next quest "You Don't Have the Rite". That is odd indeed.

I could be wrong, but just to double check, I believe you can accept Eternal Recurence and The Pen is Mightier than the Spear at the same time, maybe you need to do both of those and only did Eternal Recurrence? That's the only thing I can think of. Though, I'm not even sure they're actually required, I think they both might just be GC-oriented sidequests.

Well, there is one other possibility: How many active quests do you have in your journal?
