-Thay's eastern border outpost of Thazar Keep is available. With Thazar Pass to the east and Shar's Pass to the west, the castle serves as a gateway for one of only two known routes from Thay through the Sunrise Mountains to the Endless Wastes and the barbarian horselords who make those vast grasslands their home
1. Thazar Keep is within the Sunrise Mountains through Shar's Pass, 2 leagues north and 4 leagues east of Pyarados
2. It contains approximately 10 new areas to explore. Thanks go to Purulent Carcass and Sundraoi for their work on the following areas in Thazar Keep:
a. Thazar Keep - World's End Dungeons: Designed by Purulent Carcass and Sundraoi
b. Thazar Keep - Citadel: Designed by Purulent Carcass and Sundraoi
c. Last Resort: Designed by Sundraoi
d. Temple of Selune: Designed by Sundraoi
3. The World's End Dungeons and Southern Mountain Range Caverns are available for exploration by the brave or foolhardy mid-level adventurer
4. Aoth Fezim is a new special questgiver there who will give a task to powerful adventurers in return for one of several very unique items available nowhere else
5. Two joinable factions can be found in Thazar Keep - the Temple of Selune and the Pyarados Legion
-Dynamic creature models are available for Gnoll and Goblin subrace PCs. This means if you create a new male gnoll or goblin PC, it will be creating using a model that displays armor or helms on it (rather than the static Gnoll or Goblin models). For details on how to select these new models, see the Subraces thread
-The last big addition to the Gladiators and Arenas system is complete! You may now speak to the Editor of an arena and fight in a death match against a randomly selected NPC opponent. In addition, anyone with an arena quest may choose these fights to complete the quest
-Black Unicorns, Unicorns, Hippogriffs, and Griffons are available as mounts. However, these are very restricted and not something you can simply walk into a stable and buy. Furthermore, only evil drow and human women may ride Black Unicorns, while only good elf and human women may ride unicorns. Griffons and Hippogriffs will only be available by joining the Griffon Legion headquartered in Pyarados (currently in development)
-Most temple faction cloaks have been updated by Sundraoi to use new cloak styles with the god's symbols recently made available in the latest hakpak update. If you have a PC who is a member of a Thayan temple and don't have a cloak with the symbol of the temple's god on it, check with a DM to see if an updated faction cloak is available that they can give you
-Castle drawbridges can only be raised or lowered via a nearby Drawbridge Lever, and then only if you have a key which allows you to use the lever. In addition, people inside the castle can no longer walk out on to the empty space where the drawbridge used to be
-When announcing their faction status via their faction item, gladiators will also announce how many arena fights they have won
-Male tailor models can be changed to the dynamic Gnoll and Goblin appearance which can be used to create custom outfits for them
-The following bugs have been fixed:
1. PC Merchants who are set not to purchase items will refuse items 'given' to them by anyone other than their owners
2. The Tower of Swift Death, in addition to accepting rogues and assassins of any god as a recruit, will accept anyone who worships Bhaal
3. Bulls Strength, Cat's Grace, and Eagle's Splendor cast from class feats (such as a Blackguard's Bull's Strength) no longer stack with the regular versions of those spells
4. Jousting has been modified so when a combatant is knocked off a horse during the joust, the horse will no longer despawn - which caused multiple other issues. The aftermath looks a little strange as compared to what the 'falling off the horse' animation looks like since after the joust the PC (and horse) will end up lying on the ground mounted again. Unfortunately more realistic fixes to this issue became very complex, too time consuming, and low priority based on the use of jousting to justify spending any more development time on them at this point
5. Castle drawbridges will not continually open and close after someone without a key tries to open them one time
6. Using tailor models, Thayan Gladiator Armor may be modified to have any AC - unlike any other clothing
