The latest Shroud of the Avatar letter is hot off the presses and contains the usual list of the week's happenings. Of particular note is the creation notes on the Halls of Artifice that is being prepped for Update 31. The lengthy article not only contains design notes, but also several nuggets of lore of interest to players.
So it is with the secrets I may reveal concerning the terrible and wonderful inner workings of Artifice... Let us, therefore, look at the final (somewhat lascivious, and vaguely terrifying) chambers of Artifice;...the Halls of Sadistic Pleasure... I say final, not because of any particular order in which you might encounter them while delving there, but final because...at long last...my seer's crystal grows dark for this place... The visuals have mostly all been revealed, but the nature and tasks that await you are stilled mired in the secrecy that will allow you to enjoy their discovery... And so, due to the dubious nature of this last set of chambers I'll reveal,...we shall take a peep...through a shadowed peephole.....
The letter also contains:
- the making of the Brittany Fields
- lore behind Elad's Lighthouse
- information about overhauled headgear
