<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">arduous searches</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for quests that I've seen before include "Knightly searches" , "Pilgrimages or searches" , "Searches and odysseys" , "Chivalric searches" , "Long or arduous searches for something" .)
