It is Saturday, the 12th of June, and the following changes have been implemented:

- Hashan's novice intro tasks have been completely overhauled.

- The rotting shield in the Aalen has been restored.

- Finreir in Nur will now teleport adventurers to the correct location towards the end of his quest.

- The pangolin on the Captain's Voyage should be more receptive to accepting items when there are other crews undertaking the quest.

- Revolting ghouls are now more clear about who they are attacking.

- Health of stationary guard types has been doubled. That is, all guards except for constables and city guardians.

- Those with sufficient power may now specify HERE instead of a particular guard with the HOLDPOSITION/PURSUE commands, to apply the command to all constables present at once.

- Constables and Istani will now have a chance to summon and attack the person who pulled their target from the room, instead of the one being summoned. This chance does not apply if the summoner is a citizen of the relevant city.

- The backend systems for talismans have been rewritten. This should, in theory, result in no visible change to players, but as always if you run into problems please file a BUG with all the relevant details and we'll have it fixed up ASAP.

- It is no longer possible to convert talisman pieces to gold via Alchemy or Elementalism for any non-bashing sourced talisman piece.
