[[Linvak Tukal#General Info|Video Preview of the Linvak Tukal]]
== Game Changes ==
: A look at the [[Linvak Tukal]] and [[Arm, Mind, Heart Quest]] items that were introduced with this patch.
* Players are now able to give other players access to their corpses (type: @help permit for more details).
* [[Gambling]] has been brought to Dereth with the introduction of [[Dens of Iniquity]] (Casinos).
* Lugians have received an artwork update.
* Remember the ambient sound upgrade project? It's back! This month: oceans, ponds, and waterfalls.
* The Lugian Fortress, Linvak Tukal, is now accessible.
* A [[Advocate and Sentinel Monument|tribute]] has been added to the world, dedicated to the [[Advocates]] and [[Sentinels]] whom were recently disbanded.


== Discoveries ==
== User Interface Updates ==
=== [[Town Crier]] Rumors ===
* Other players' health bars now appear beneath their names when you select them (Just like with monsters).
* Hit messages now report those body parts affected during melee combat. Now you can be further immersed in the fun of Tuskers rapping your knuckles like an irate schoolteacher. In addition, damage done by players now appears in pink text, and damage done to players now appears in red text, making it easier to tell the difference.

== New Quests ==
Town Crier tells you, "Have you heard about those gambling dens? I think they're run by some pretty shady characters..."
 
Town Crier tells you, "My cousin the axe-swinger is in a really good mood for some reason. When I asked him why, he just muttered something about "ceaselessly raining blows." What does that mean?"
 
Town Crier tells you, "News! Three gambling casinos have opened up around Dereth!"
 
Town Crier tells you, "I heard about a person wielding a spear that he said was fashioned by an axe fighter. What kind of strangeness is that?"
 
Town Crier tells you, "News! Ayan Baqur was taken over by Virindi! The townspeople are held in some dungeon nearby, and seem unable to speak more than a few words. The horror!"
 
Town Crier tells you, "News! Travelers report that the Virindi have established a new outpost in southern Osteth! This can mean nothing good..."
 
Town Crier tells you, "So it seems like those bizarre, creepy creatures in the desert are here to stay. Too bad... I'm terrified to go to the desert now."
 
Town Crier tells you, "Looks like the Lugians are really getting organized in the south. Or have they just been organized all this time?"
 
Town Crier tells you, "It's too bad about what happened to Ayan Baqur. Those poor townspeople!"
 
Town Crier tells you, "News! There are rumors that the Lugian fortress is protected by strange magics..."
 
Town Crier tells you, "News! The Lugians have opened up a fortress in the south mountains! Some of them seem to be friendly to humans!"</font>

=== [[Ulgrim]] Rumors ===
 
<font color=darkgoldenrod>
The following quotations are from the Virindi Ulgrim:
 
Ulgrim tells you, "I find that I have acquired a taste for the wine sold by the Barkeep. Would you bring me a glass? Good human."
 
Ulgrim tells you, "Just between you, me, and the bottle, human, the theft of the Fragment of Singularity has made some beings angry."
 
You give Ulgrim Red Wine.
Ulgrim tells you, "I'm not entirely convinced the Director and the Observer are communicating properly..."
 
Ulgrim tells you, "Thank you, I find this most pleasant. Run along, now."
 
Ulgrim tells you, "You know... two of the little flesh things managed to escape to the southeast..."
 
Ulgrim tells you, "I saw a human with a sword attack an Executor the other day. The human never stood a chance. Rip, rip, rip, another inert human."
 
Ulgrim tells you, "Just don't tell the Observer that I'm drinking this human filth, okay?"
 
Ulgrim tells you, "A pity the Dark Walker has been banished. He was most entertaining to watch."</font>
