see that madface? that is the new look of the Tradeways. lower level characters may feel free to cut their teeth on it. just remember, the Tradeways feels no ways about cutting ITS teeth on YOU. larger, more ornate, more mysteries to solve as Ziroc fills in more of the realm itself, oh, did we mention the beach?

we didn't mention the beach?

well, yes, there IS a beach. little lobsters strolling along the sand. the waves lapping at your heels. very peaceful thus far. (don't count on that to last too long.) a little treasure chest even lays there on the sand (at the moment), probably left there by raiders or someone else who would be really annoyed if you removed the contents. (snatch that stuff, baibee!)

this is a chance to re-experience something you have grown used to merely passing through. there are now a few more creatures within the Tradeways lurking through the Mirkwood Village who would like to "talk" with you. (read: beat your face or eat your face, depending on what seasonings they have on them.) most of the creatures which were inside the Tradeways are still there, so if you wanted a place to start "safely", the Tradeways are an excellent jump-off point. I would suggest, however, to bring plenty of fire. why fire? why not. besides, what good adventurer (besides a few custom characters of mine) doesn't travel with a torch or five with them?

I happen to appreciate all these massive and subtle changes Ziroc has been making. this just proves how creative one person can be with the right materials backing him up. some of the changes people will see immediately, while others will show up with a little exploration. I do have a feeling he's nowhere close to finished with the entire Tradeways region, perhaps even expanding the current maps even further just to pack in more strange and wonderful things.
