The most recent update posted to the Shroud of the Avatar website includes yet another story snippet, this one discussing the implications of player choice in the series’ story. Additionally, a few more geographical locations from around the continent of Novia get named therein.

In their twin citadels to the east and west of the bay, the King of the Loving Earth and the Queen of the Compassionate Winds remain cleaved in twain, literally and figuratively. The void between the two was once bridged by the spirit of Love, which has been missing from the land. In its absence, the people grow fearful and distant; many have tried to bridge that gap but without empathy and compassion, how can those who grow apart come to any agreement?
