-Thay's vaunted Griffon Legion is now available to join! Those interested should travel to the Griffon Legion Rookery in the city of Pyarados. Originally comprised of only Red Wizards, the legion today accepts riders of all backgrounds
1. When mounted on a griffon in an outdoor area, the griffon rider can use their faction cloak at a point on the ground to have their griffon fly to that location
2. As it is considered one of the elite legions of Thay, those who wish to join must be slightly more notorious than what is required to join a "lesser" legion of Thay
3. Because their model types do not support mounts; gnoll, orc, and goblin PCs are unable to join this legion
-The Deep Gold Mines of High Thay are now accessible. Meant for higher level adventurers, it is rumored they are where the Zulkir Maligor met his end. In addition, the deepest tunnels are also said to reach to the depths of the Underdark itself
-A very famous (and very powerful) archmage is available as a questgiver who will teach higher-level wizards and sorcerers how to use the floating alternate combat style, and who provides all higher-level adventurers who assist him with a magical artifact. Those interested should visit Dragon Manor in Surthay with a special reagent related to the Cult of the Dragon in order to reach this questgiver, or else work to become a member of the Cult there
-New Liches, 6 new Driders, 7 new Myconids, and 6 new Beholders have been created. In addition, the Beholder AI has been completely revised and play tested to make them more of the challenge they are supposed to be
-Lycan ECL has changed. It is now determined by the type of lycan, from +1 for Wererats up to +6 for Werebears and Werecats. See the updated Types of Lycanthropy section in the Lycanthropy topic for complete details
-Thanks go to Karilynn for filling out scores of NPC descriptions throughout the gameworld
-The following bugs have been fixed:
1. Disguised individuals cannot change their appearances via Tattooists anymore
2. Bless Water and Curse Water can once again be successfully cast on water flasks
