-The castle of Gauros Keep is available. This northern capital of the Gauros tharch is one of the most militant capitals in Thay, established to protect the northeastern borders of Thay from monsters in the Sunrise mountains and the berserkers of Rashemen
1. This castle can currently be reached by caravan from a number of central and northern locations in Thay
2. It contains 7 new areas to explore. Thanks go to Sundraoi for designing the Fortress, the stronghold of an already well built and defended castle
3. The Bastille are the dungeons of many a Rashemi spy or captive monster. Both it and the tunnels below the castle can be explored in by mid-high level adventurers. It is said that the tunnels were created as an escape route (or flanking route) that lead to the Gauros Gorge north of the castle. In the event of a prolonged siege it has been used in the past, but few have been able to survive the now-dangerous trek through them to confirm or disprove that rumor
5. A new special questgiver found here will give a task to higher-level adventurers
6. The Garrison of War, a temple devoted to the war god Tempus, and the Gauros Legion are both available as factions to join in Gauros Keep. With this update, all the legions of Thay's 11 tharchs are now available to join!
-New items have been created and are available at various merchants, or can be found as treasure when adventuring
-When rung, gongs now can be heard by people within a 40 meter radius. This makes them more useful for calling others for assistance in the event of a gate attack, etc
-A minor change to the lich's Ritual of Becoming, making it a 3 step process rather than a 2 step process to create the Phylactery and the Elixir of Defilation (however the required components have not changed)
-The following bugs have been fixed:
1. All gnoll creatures can once again be enslaved
2. Certain areas within Thralgard Keep have been properly restricted
3. The Black Pearl from the Alaor Naval Base once again works for sea voyages
4. The soul spectre for new PCs in Your Mind's Eye once again has a store from which items can be purchased or sold
5. When tithing, an Unrecognized Token error should no longer occur for tithes that weren't enough to shift the PC's alignment
