Just in case, maybe its already been worked on, idk... at least i didnt find any report on the tracker.
Somewhen in patch 1.53 - 1.54ish that sort of task/mission got added to the game for players of lvl40 or above. Every portalkeep of your realm(ligen,cain, hadrians and odins gate for hibs, for example) had a special npc
you could start such quest and/or get intel of enemies, that are currently having a mission running.
That sounds like a nice feature to generate some rvr action at lowtimes, specially for smallgrps and away of the "hotspots".
Some of the NPC do exist on uthgard but they did not interactto me, some are totally missing atm(that in ligen)
1. Get a lvl40 or higher
2. Find one of those npc (list of names + location in patchnotes in evidence)
3. Try to start any kind of mission
4. :(
Add the misssing NPC along with the option to start missions or get intel on running enemies missions, if possible.

Patchnotes of 1.53g
"Courier and Intercept Missions
We have introduced a new set of tasks named "Courier and Intercept missions". These missions take place within the frontiers and can only be given to players who are 40th level or higher. There are two sides to each mission, a kill task and a protect task. The primary goal of the kill task is to speak with the mark dealer for a task, locate the courier listed, hunt the courier down, and then kill it. The protect task is a bit different in that you must find the courier, speak to it to obtain the task, and then ensure the courier reaches its destination alive. To better assist the defenders in locating a courier to defend, we have also added a status monitor within both border keeps. These status monitors will broadcast to the entire keep if a courier needs a defender and where this courier is located. You can also speak with this monitor to find if there are any couriers in transit that require assistance. At any time, you may use the /task command to receive the status of your task. Please note that you will have only one hour to complete this task. Should the courier take longer than this to reach its destination or should you not locate the courier, the task is considered forfeit.
The details of the rewards are as follows:
Kill Task - A large sum of coin will be split evenly to anyone who is on this task when the courier is killed. In order to receive your reward, you must be within 6000 units (just outside of visual range) of the courier when it dies.
Protect Task - A large sum of coin will be split evenly to anyone who is on this task when the courier reaches its destination. In order to receive your reward, you must be within 6000 units (just outside of visual range) of the courier when it reaches this point.
Following is the list of Mark Dealers and Status Monitors:
Albion
Status monitors: Kirbie Hareford (Castle Sauvage), Paytan Varden (Snowdonia Keep)
Midgard mark dealer: Ohtor (Portal Keep - Hadrian’s Wall)
Hibernia mark dealer: Edouarz (Portal Keep - Hadrian’s Wall)
Midgard
Status monitors: Ulfr (Svasud Faste), Steig (Vindsaul Faste)
Albion mark dealer: Bardolf Culthit (Portal Keep - Odin’s Gate)
Hibernia mark dealer: Drust (Portal Keep - Odin’s Gate)
Hibernia
Status monitors: Garth (Druim Ligen), Eodan (Druim Cain)
Albion mark dealer: Centwine Melgim (Portal Keep - Emain Macha)
Midgard mark dealer: Skuti (Portal Keep - Emain Macha)"

The mission collects on the 2nd floor of the arrival tp in the enemy zone.
From this moment a messenger goes from one fort to another.
Your mission is to intercept it and to kill it, if you succeed, to you the 240g in species sonnante and trebuchante.
Conversely, there is a coordinator, in the border citadels, who informs the messengers currently in transit.
Your mission in this case is to escort and protect him.
If you happen to prevent the enemy kingdom from killing the messenger, to you the 240g when it arrives at good port.
I made some of them the other day in alliance on midgard, in group of 6.
Result 2-3000 PR, 120g (3 tasks a 240/6) and a really good time passed.
In general you are sure to find enemies to protect the messenger.
I personally find that this is for the moment the best thing that mythic have done to restore an interest in RvR in small group.
That gives the most info, also french translated into eng.

1 / Escort mission:
Your mission, accompany a messenger from Fort A to Fort B (or just look forward to Fort B). The Fort A and B are chosen randomly
An NPC located in each Border Fortress tells you if an escort spot is in court. (They are located in the courtyard, on albion placed symmetrically with respect to the stone of bind a CS)
The thing to specify, a messenger to escort is generated ONLY if an enemy (located in one of the teleport fort) LAUNCHES a murder spot.
If no assassinate spot launched, no escort mission available.
What tells you that when you escort a messenger you have a 90% chance of falling on enemies wanting to kill him (at least those who launched the assassination spot).
We must also know that the trajectory of Fort A at Fort B is not quite obvious, for a Renaris-> Hubury route, it happens that it crosses the limits of the map, Escort .... In this case you wait at Fort B and you hope that he will come out alive
Arriving at Fort B, ALL those who activated the spot (ie spoken to the messenger any time between A and B) AND present at Fort B, will receive a sum of 240g divided between them. You can find yourself lucky to win 240g, or find yourself to 20 person at Fort B + 20 other person sticked on the messenger, which will give you in the end not much (240g / 40)
2 / Assassination mission:
The goal is different but the conditions / rewards are the same as in the first case.
First you have to go to an enemy Frontier Zone and go up to the second floor of the teleport fort to talk to the NPC and activate the spot.
This NPC will give you Fort A and Fort B, the goal is to kill him before he arrives in B
It is enough to be a little dourig, to know to walk in enemy zone, to manage the patrols and to kill any resistance protecting the messenger.
It should also know that a messenger is Red ++ at level 50, so aproximatively lvl 55-60, so we need a group consequently to hope to kill it (solo I do not think it possible).
Small precision concerning the messenger:
- So about level 55-60, so he pats very hard and casts the blows more than well. Provide a group of 4+ person if you have to murder it.
- He self heal permanently OFF COMBAT (it is not a buff recurant as I could read it).
- It does not aggro the mobs even aggressive in the zones that it crosses.
"He does not aggro the players with the task of killing him, he will not lift the little one if his escort is massacred and will continue his way quietly. Until you attack it. At this time it will react like an ordinary mob and type people in order of priority on its list of aggro.
- It works all the time, which implies two things:
It moves slowly, VERY slowly, which facilitates the spot to the escort not having speed available and facilitates the tracking when you have to kill it (assassination).
He can not follow and stay in close combat with a player attempting to escape after attempting to kill him. (Once the messenger has no one at the CaC and can not touch anyone too far away, it will resume its route very quickly.
Here I do not think I have forgotten too much on the subject, if there is any lack, I will say
But do not venture alone, I saw the purple messenger at 45 and it is tjs accompanied by at least 2-3 enemies who were hanging around and found a good way to make money.

When you see "the messenger will leave caer renaris" you have ample time to go.
The messenger does not leave in the moment where the sentence is given you generally have time to go (it must happen 5 to 10mn according to the distance of the fort compared to C.S. or SNow).

To try to synthetise
- You're teleported by your friend Visur.
- Once teleported, you climb to the second floor of the tp to chat with the equivalent of the keeper of the tp, there launches a task and he tells you, for example: A Midgarian messenger left Bledmeer and go to blendrake , You have 1 hour to intercept it.
At this point, you should know one or two things:
- The messenger is red at level 50 and he shots at 500-600 on a mda
- it takes off from the departure fort about 15 minutes after the launch of the task
- it is not the roads but to a fastidious tendency to pass through zones d aggro the hand; p
- by typing / task, a counter tells you

Its the last comment on that page(#3065505)
- A mission to protect a messenger is only available if a mid or hib activated an assassination mission to his TP at the Hadrian's Wall.
- The messenger is red at level 50, moves while walking and is not particularly discreet.
- You can take the mission with the NPCs at Château Sauvage or the Fortress of Snowdonia, but you can also take it by talking directly to the messenger if you meet one.
- The messenger is the friend of all the monsters in the game, none will attack him. In some cases, the messenger can pass - at the edge of the map - by places that are inaccessible to the players, so you have to go back a little farther on the way to his destination fort.
- The duration of the mission is one hour, we can consult the state of the mission in progress with the command / task. If we have accepted a mission we are warned by a system message of the success or failure of the mission.
- It is absolutely not necessary to escort the messenger all the way. You can just wait for him at his destination fort. You can go do anything else, but you have to be present when the messenger arrives at your destination. No need to re-talk to him, if one took the mission, it is enough to be there when the messenger disappears after this one has reached its destination.
- The reward - 240 gold - is shared between all players who have taken the mission and are present within the limit indicated by the patch note (see Urielanor's message) when the messenger arrives safe and sound at destination.
- Part of the 240 gold won with my first protection mission funded my 540 Alchemy points :)
