Hmm...I'm going out on a limb here...I dunno that much about Nightwish so I'm probably wrong...self-proclaimed crackpot theory made by combining other theories mentioned:
Maybe it's called Nightquest because it was Nightwish's original goal when they started: Immortality (maybe like Amoebathegrate said, through being remembered when they're gone? For their music? (similar to how the Beatles will probably be remembered for much, much MUCH longer). Like Lothmiril said, each part represented a band member-the questers who were setting out for the immortality, and maybe Ravenwolf was right-maybe they decided to enjoy the ride-to enjoy what it is that they do instead of aiming for the immortality part of it.
In short: it's about them, their mission, and perhaps a learned lesson.

But I'm probably wrong. XD
