This is a hell of a choice, and i'm super tempted to go for Gun Control because of how much I'm enjoying the quest so far and how much potential I think it has.
But having seen the earlier omakes that show Birdsie's view of the HP verse I've been excited for this one for a long time, and besides, HP is kin of special to me. They were the first real books I read, the first real fandom I interacted with any capacity, and the first universe I started writing for, fanfic or roleplaying. It wouldn't be a understatement to say that without the series I wouldn't even be here, and it would seriously fire up my creative juices.
Also, from a more selfish standpoint, Harry Potter is...extremely popular for quests in this subforum, and I would love it if capaitlizes brought a even bigger reader base for Birdsie's work that will carry over into concurrent or future ones. God knows that while I love the little community we've had since Mask, Birdsie is a amazing writer who definitely deserves a wider readership. So, i'll go.

These all sound interesting, but as a Tower of God fan there's no contest. To quote Headon:
"The answer is always at the top. That is the only thing I can tell you. Money. Glory. Absolute Power. If you seek abilities and answers which are like magic, head to the top. All of the universe's wisdom, glory, and happiness - It has been placed at the top of this Tower."

I really like the description of the Spire one, but this also interests me a lot.
Both are pretty awesome.
Really enjoyed getting back to one of his quests, they're always really well-written.

Man, I haven't read a Birdsie quest for a while- I really liked this one, but the first one I really participated in was a Fantasy one, with a Fate Arthur expy, can't remember the name though.

we got some fun tidbits about the non-hufflepuff houses for the Scabbardverse i felt would be fun to share

Sure.
As I imagine it, the Platonic ideal of Slytherin is equivalent to the Western ideal of an individualist. Everyone has ambitions and desires, and they'll do damn near anything to achieve it. Slytherins are, as per canon, the most political House, but almost ironically, Slytherins are also the biggest idealists (far more so than Gryffindor,) and often that can develop into extremism (see: Voldemort.) They also do their best to excel because of their ambitions, producing a house of conflict, adversity, and combat; their rivalry with Gryffindor stems from the interplays of seeing who is the bigger and greater man, and in this setting, it's not always Gryffindor.

As I imagine it, the Platonic ideal of Ravenclaw is equivalent to the ideal of... well, a Plato. A thinker. A discoverer of knowledge. All Ravenclaws are seekers of knowledge, and it's often a Ravenclaw who'll contribute to the overall progress of magical scripture or knowledge. As magic is a gnostic profession (acquired knowledge becomes power, which lets you get more knowledge,) Ravenclaws often rank third in terms of magical might. However, there is nuance to their being: knowledge is, after all, freedom, so the House also draws in free thinkers who might be unwelcome elsewhere. It's the House that most often forms clubs that practice dark or forbidden magics or study ancient demonic texts (fitting in with the theme of ravens being evil birds); a place for social outcasts that Hufflepuff ordinarily is in canon.

because Gryffindor is fire, and fire is energy and chaos

Hufflepuff is COMPANIONS Gang
I compared them to 4chan but with magic and resources, and that's a very accurate vision.
4chan, by itself, can locate a secret Al-Qaeda training facility and get the info up the grapevine to a Russian general so the place gets bombed.
I want you to imagine 4chan, but its members are unyieldingly loyal to one another, always cooperate with great finesse, and have access to lots of money, lots of influence, and incredible magical powers.
It's terrifying.

If you're incompetent but in Hufflepuff it doesn't matter
Birdsie — Today at 1:08 PM
the Head Boy will assign someone to train you to be more competent and he'll find you a job you can do to improve the House's standing, and you will have your part in things, and you will be happy
You have a large family and you're a part of something greater; a terrible beast that everyone fears, that cannot be stopped

Gryffindor is the House of bravery and determination, sure, but you know who has those qualities? A corpse. Also a common soldier; a hero is someone who produces change and has the competence to change the world, but Gryffindor is the House of, ironically, simple desires and simpler results: "me want dark lord to go away, me train, me bash dark lord with a mountain in the head; me win medal now, yes?"Birdsie — Today at 1:05 PM
It's also the house of diversity, the one that takes in the ones that even Ravenclaw doesn't wantBirdsie — Today at 1:06 PM
