+The Lua Parser is a quest parser for EQEmu that uses the Lua embedded programming language.
+
+We use Lua 5.1 so the [Lua 5.1 Manual](http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html) applies. Section 2 is a bit of a dense read but may be of particular interest to those just getting started with Lua.

+### NPC Scripts
+NPC Scripts are quest scripts that are attached to NPCs (most quests follow this format).
+NPCs will load a script on the first event that triggers them (almost always the spawn event) and they will load one and only one from the following location. Which ever it finds first in the following order:
+* ./quests/zone/npcid.lua
+* ./quests/zone/npcname.lua
+* ./quests/global/npcid.lua
+* ./quests/global/npcname.lua
+* ./quests/zone/default.lua
+* ./quests/global/default.lua
+
+NPCs will also attempt to load a global NPC script that is attached to all NPCs from the following location:
+* ./quests/global/global_npc.lua
