The second book of the ''Literature/DunctonWood'' series, ''Duncton Quest'' tells the story of Bracken and Rebecca's son, Tryfan, as he leaves Duncton toward the Uffington system to become a scribemole himself. He arrives in Uffington with [[TheMentor Boswell]] to find the place thrashed and devastated by the followers of the new religion of the Word, a rival of the Stone that rose from ancient times from the same source as the Dark Sound. He's then sent with [[TheLancer Spindle]] to visit every one of the seven sacred systems to try and renew the faith in the Stone, accompanied by different [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits Ragtag Bunches of Misfits]] to Buckland, back to Duncton, into the mysterious and oft never visited "twofoot" system of Wen and into the depths of the evil system of [[{{Mordor}} the Whern]].

This book contains examples of:
* BigBad: Henbane, daughter of [[spoiler:Rune.]]
* BreakTheCutie: Henbane to [[spoiler:Bailey.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: A good number of them. Notably Alder and Marram, who almost converted to the Stone and fled Buckland with the two prisoners they were hold together with Tryfan and Spindle; and Holm, the very dirty mole who helped the moles escape from Duncton Wood, turns out to be some sort of LaResistance leader in Rollright.
** And, from ''Literature/DunctonWood'', we have the very surprising appearance of [[spoiler:Tryfan's half-brothers, the ones that were born from Rebecca when she traveled to Siabod]].
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Let's see...an intolerant group that murders those who oppose it. One of its high-ranking officers is a DepravedHomosexual...[[NaziGermany nope, drawing a blank.]]
** The sequel brings another possible perspective on the Word, though. Something about [[FridgeHorror its origin being related to a set rules scribed in stone and a ritual involving eating the flesh and blood of one of their ranks in search of salvation]].

* SequelEscalation: while ''Literature/DunctonWood'' was about the decay of the belief in the Stone, in ''Duncton Quest'' we have an actual opponent in the Word, as well as expansion on many points that were merely glossed over in the first book. Rune's origins are revealed, as well as the history of Dark Sound, scribing is given a more central role in the story, and, oddly enough, "twofeet" are more commonly referenced through the story.
** Rune also gets eviler and eviler from Wood to Quest: now he's the ruler of a whole system of evil.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Mayweed is apparently unable to say anything in simple words. Or without using extravagant vocatives, including when referring to himself.
