This week we have been working on the impact you can have on the map. You will notice the effects of scrying stones, magic hearths, and similar devices have been improved. In addition, the way you can now actively inform clans about abandoned keeps or other useful locations. The result of this is that you can take a more active role in the global power struggle between the clans and the Empire.
The intention of these changes is to create a more meaningful context for your adventures. At the same time, we hope that soon NPCs will act on and according to this context better, too!
