Beginner Talent Quests

As far as I'm aware, once a returning player chooses the his/her new talent, he/she's given a quest to see "a leader of a major town" and given an SM tutorial on a few of the skills involved with the talent. (Some of the talents don't seem to have a SM tutorial, though - like the adventurer talent.)

When I made a new character, though, it didn't activate the talent quest. This, I can think of three reason for: because the character is not a human, or because the talent selected doesn't have a tutorial, or because the character is newly created. The first doesn't seem to hold up because my elf got the archery tutorial all right. The second doesn't make sense, since the talent selected was knight, which uses lances, which definitely need a tutorial for new players. The last possible reason contradicts having a tutorial in the first place.
