Haven't updated the community recently I just realized.

1. Thanks to Trid & folks at Exodus, we have added the Nelathar Isles (skaug) to the module in one fell swoop.

2. We have also add a stellar build of the Moonshaes capital: Caer Callidyrr (by Trid) as well as a stellar build of the Dwarf Hold of High Home & environs (By davidcurtisjr and Castano)

3. Ruathym and environs is in the works

4. Norheim & environs in the works

The above being said - 100% of efforts are on bug fixes to what I call phase 1 of the module - phaes 1 = the section which will go live once approved - which is whatever areas PC can currently access in the beta server (e.g. Gwynneth, Skaug, Oman's Isle)

We will then move to phase 2 of the build which is the expansion phase - along the lines of TSM's development, expect the build team to roll out improvements over the life of the server. Phase 2 will include the above 4 areas, among other things.

Awesome news Castano.

Does this imply that we might be seeing Moonshaes live in the not-too-distant future? :)

From what I've seen pretty much everything is there for some good ol' fashioned adventuring and RPin'
People talk of bestial cruelty, but that's a great injustice and insult to the beasts; a beast can never be so cruel as man, so artistically cruel.

Yes, hoping we go live real soon. I'm pounding out some bugs this weekend on the store items and spawns.

Castano. I took your advice... And am about 60% through the interwoven cave complex. I've also done 4 Areas of Dwarven Home. In total the base mod encompasses 6 areas. Let me know if this is too much.. I have a simple way of pairing it down by eliminating an area but wish to chat with you further on this.

Ready to do an FTP file transfer. Wanted to make sure I was good to go with this. Pm me in irc chat when you get a chance.

Next up:

1. Caer Callindyrr gets it's interiors - shops, temple, city keep etc...courtesy of Rorax

2. Adding lamps, NPCs, outdoor markets and various look and feel objects (e.g garbage, wagons, tools, etc. to the city exterior (Castano).

These are technically non-live areas, that is, they are not planned to go in on launch day, but if we get them done in time, they will be there for launch day.

Added 2 new level 1 areas.

Zombie Town:

You rise from your table in the tavern, having just heard the story of the ruined town and its dead residents who still haunt it. Never one to sit idly in a tavern listening to so-called adventurers boast of their feats, you rush for the door, axe and lantern in hand...you want to get there before sunrise, when the undead return to their disturbed graves. As you approach the ruined shell of a village, you see claw marks along the ground, lots of claw marks, and a large burial mound looms in sight, it's top craked open...perhaps this wasn't such a good idea...

Salt Flats:

Why pay the boatman's fee when you can simply walk the shore path to the eastern villages? So what if those royal guard wimps put up a huge sign warnign travelers of "sea monsters". You dismiss a rustle in the salt marsh reeds as nothing more than a marsh bird and press on.
