One more thought...

I realize it varies greatly by level, but I've heard that the Egyptian dragons cost as much as a few million food. I can't verify it for myself and Jens hasn't put it up yet, but my reading suggests that this quest will make the same rediculous demands of food.

Taking a dragon from 1 to 30 costs a bit over 4.2M food, so let's use that as a point of reference. I'm a bit drunks, so someone might want to check my math.

12 farms growing starshines can grow 4.2M food in 14 days assuming you reset all farms exactly when they finish. It costs 420M gold to do this. A single lvl. 10 Legendary can do this in 1M minutes or just shy of 2 years. A single lvl. 30 Legendary can do this in 355 days.

To do this in 28 days would take 13 lvl. 30 legendary dragons or 24 lvl. 10 legendary dragons. Remember, we don't even really know how much food this costs yet, but that's how much it takes to raise a single dragon to 30. In addition to the food cost, it also demands gold. I'm lvl. 31 right now and the first section of the quest wants 2.7M per lock times 4 locks. Better hurry up and get a second job to pay for all those gems-- only 27 days 12 hours left!

This game is greedy enough without quests. This added cost is just silly.
