The South Watch burning on Long Hill
The South Watch burning on Long Hill, in the game

New

  • Long Hill's beacon chain. On the ridge north of Minoc's stables stand three ruined watch beacons: the South Watch, the Fallen Watch and the High Watch. Tam the shepherd camps at the foot with a sign that tells the story. Take a burning brand from his campfire, or land a fire spell on a pit, to light one.
  • The watches. The Fallen Watch has to be dug clear with a pickaxe first. At the High Watch the dead watch rises, a fight sized to whoever is there. The beacons are shared: what burns, burns for everyone, and each goes cold again on its own in time.
  • The old watch road. Whoever lights the third fire sees the old watch road on their radar, with a chime. Rue the tavernkeeper hears whether the beacons burn.

Fixed

  • The Volley banner. When you earn Volley, the banner and journal now name the key it is on.
  • Ysolde's trial. Her words now match the pier where the trial is held.
  • Guard-boundary lines. "Thou art under / hast left the protection of the guards" no longer repeats when you stand at the edge.
