-If you're not familiar with it, read the [[User:WinterRose/Eragora Survivalist Guide|Eragora Survivalist Guide]], an early text that was created by the spirit of moment - amidst the sudden influx of solo exploration experiences.

-With over 40 maps, and a serious deficit of non-mapped lowmort/hero areas, I've put mapping on the back-burner (nothing left to map!) and have decided to focus on remaining unsolved quests as well as the regular, foddering stuff. The boring parts. Here and there I redraw an obsolete map, but this is not common as most are still good.

 However, once new stuff rolls in, the plan is to continue exploring and map what remains undiscovered and hopefully profit greatly by vast riches that surely lay uncovered!
