-Significant changes have been made to simplify and improve Thay's mount (horse) system. The main changes include -

1. Improved (?) mounting and dismounting animations. You can now also mount or release a mount by talking to them, rather than through the !mount menu

2. There will be no more problems when logging out and then logging in while mounted. Hallelujah!

3. If damaged while on a mount, when you dismount damage will be shared between mount and rider

4. Mounts will no longer 'magically' change size upon mount or dismount for non-human or non-half-elf characters. Now, when summoned or created, mounts will be the appropriate size for the PC who owns them



-Tyraturos has undergone extensive revisions, primarily to consolidate various areas, but also to prevent new players from accidentally stepping outside the initial starting area with their new PC and ending up in what could be a dangerous overland travel situation. As a result, there are now Tyraturos East and Tyraturos West areas. This has resulted in a few important changes to Tyraturos -

1. Zulkir Druxus Rhym's estate, the Tyraturos Graveyard, and the Tower of Swift Death are all located in Tyraturos - East

2. The Tyraturos Tournament Grounds and the new Iron Throne Headquarters are located in Tyraturos - West



-The Iron Throne is a new faction now joinable by PCs. Thanks go to DarkRanger for running numerous events as a DM to layout the groundwork and background for this faction and for creating the faction recruiter, and to Karilynn for writing the faction recruiter's conversation



-The slaver Thyvo Vrass now has his estate created and its main atrium publicly accessible in Bezantur Northwest. Thanks go to Sundraoi for her meticulous and very creative design of this area



-The Bezantur Citadel of Correction Dungeons are now available. Feared throughout the Priador, those who are "taken to the Citadel" as prisoners here are seldom seen or heard from again. Low-mid level adventurers sometimes brave the depths of these hazardous dungeons, if they dare. Thanks go to Sundraoi for the creation of the two new Citadel of Correction Dungeon areas



-The following bugs have been fixed:

1. Mount HTF is functioning again which will allow feeding your mount to heal it

2. Pack Slave HTF is functioning again which will allow feeding your slave to heal it

3. It is no longer possible to recook burned meat

4. The low-level nymph aura will not permanently dominate affected creatures or PCs anymore

5. Deleting a subrace character in the starting area will properly remove the subrace marker for you from the database
