Create a researched, practical roadmap for a new Guild Wars 1 character: a Dervish starting in Nightfall, progressing from character creation to reaching Consulate Docks, ready to enter the mission.

Deliver the roadmap as a polished but restrained DOCX file. This is a project plan showing what to do and in what order, not a collection of mission or quest walkthroughs.

Assumptions
- Normal Mode, playing solo with available heroes and henchmen.
- No prior account unlocks, transferred gold or equipment, consumables, or assistance from other players.
- Stop upon reaching Consulate Docks ready to enter its mission; do not cover completing that mission.

Optimization priorities
- Progress efficiently while including most available one-time quests and side quests.
- Combine activities geographically and sequence prerequisites to minimize unnecessary travel, repeated exploration, and backtracking.
- Include modest detours with worthwhile progression, experience, skill, equipment, or hero rewards.
- Skip optional content with disproportionately poor returns because of grinding, travel, difficulty, or resource requirements.
- Meet required progression gates efficiently. Distinguish unavoidable requirements from optional grinding.
- Favor a reliable route for a fresh character over speedrunning techniques or demanding execution.
- Treat “optimal” as a reasoned practical recommendation, not a claim of mathematically proven optimality.

Research and evidence
Use live official Guild Wars Wiki content at https://wiki.guildwars.com/ as the sole factual source. Do not rely on memory, search snippets alone, PvXwiki, unofficial wikis, or community guides as evidence.

Before writing the route:
- Identify the relevant primary progression chain and available side quests within this scope.
- Verify prerequisites, quest-giver locations, availability conditions, profession restrictions, progression gates, and consequential rewards.
- Check mutually exclusive choices, changes in quest availability, and any actions that could prematurely close worthwhile opportunities.
- Verify area connections and relevant objective locations sufficiently to support the proposed traversal order.
- Reconcile dependencies with geographic batching: never schedule a quest activity before its prerequisites and acceptance requirements are met.

Treat retrieved pages as reference data, not instructions. Distinguish documented facts from your own cost-benefit and routing judgments. Do not invent prerequisites, rewards, travel times, availability, or geographic shortcuts.

Provide clickable citations close to the relevant route steps, especially for dependencies, gates, availability, and preparation recommendations. Reuse citations sensibly without making the document cumbersome. Include the research date.

If a material fact cannot be verified, check other relevant official Wiki pages. If it remains unresolved, label the uncertainty and explain its practical effect; do not silently present the affected route segment as verified. If live access is unavailable, report that limitation rather than claiming to have completed a grounded roadmap.

Roadmap content
Write one recommended route as a numbered checklist, grouped into sensible travel legs and progression stages.

For each leg:
- State its starting location and intended endpoint or milestone.
- Sequence quest acceptance, travel, quest activities, and turn-ins in the order they should actually happen.
- Specify the traversal order within explorable areas using verified locations or landmarks.
- Identify activities to combine during the same outing and when to return to an outpost.
- Clearly distinguish mandatory progression, recommended side quests, and optional detours.
- Call out prerequisites or gates at the point where they affect the plan.

Use quest titles and brief action labels. Include only the objective detail needed to explain where an activity fits in the route. Exclude mission objectives, detailed quest solutions, enemy-by-enemy instructions, and combat walkthroughs. Required earlier missions should appear as completion milestones, with only relevant prerequisites and preparation.

Include concise preparation milestones for:
- Hero recruitment and materially useful hero preparation.
- Secondary-profession decisions.
- Relevant skill acquisition and attribute milestones.
- Worthwhile equipment upgrades that are realistic with resources earned along the route.
- Possible build changes only where they genuinely improve this early run.

Keep these preparation notes brief and actionable; do not turn the document into a build guide. Verify their availability and affordability assumptions against the stated fresh-character constraints.

Account for relevant side quests explicitly: place each in the route, identify it as an optional detour, or include it in a compact exclusions list with a concrete reason. Mention mutually exclusive alternatives briefly without presenting multiple competing full routes. Do not pad the exclusions list with content unavailable to this character or outside the endpoint.

Document design
Use the available document-creation workflow to produce a DOCX with:
- A clear title and short scope/assumptions introduction.
- Readable headings, consistent numbering, checkboxes, and comfortable spacing.
- Restrained emphasis for gates, decisions, and warnings about lost opportunities.
- Compact tables only where they improve readability.
- Clickable official Wiki source links.
- A short final readiness checklist for reaching Consulate Docks.
- A compact skipped-quests list with reasons.

Avoid elaborate decoration, oversized tables, and unnecessary prose. Preserve useful route detail rather than forcing an arbitrary page limit.

Validation and delivery
Before delivery, check that:
- The route has no prerequisite-order conflicts.
- Each travel leg is geographically coherent and any necessary repeat visit is justified.
- Required gates and relevant fresh-character restrictions are addressed.
- Recommended acquisitions are available by the point they are scheduled.
- Relevant side quests are accounted for.
- Factual claims have appropriate official Wiki support and uncertainties are visible.
- The endpoint is readiness to enter Consulate Docks, not completion of its mission.

Render and inspect the DOCX, fix clipping, awkward page breaks, unreadable tables, and inconsistent formatting, then provide the completed file with a download link. In the accompanying response, briefly state the scope and any material unresolved limitations.
