Shroud of the Avatar – Update of the Avatar #276

Greetings Friends! In my offline playing of SotA to view differences between online and offline, I continue to find my views to come in line with the final judgement of many of my peers in our many discussions on Discord and other platforms.  Some such thoughts can be reflected in a recent Spam Spam Spam Humbug episode.  I look forward to hopefully completing my video soon, as my schedule has been crazy busy almost every afternoon and evening.  For this week we have continuations of past updates as more information has been shared by Portalarium in the forums.  Here’s what we have for you in this week’s edition of Update of the Avatar:

 


Heraldry Items (cont.)

In Release 52 devs added Heraldry finally for eligible Kickstarter Founder era backers. Sadly in Release 53 Heraldry will no longer be limited to earlier backers but will not be opened for pay for everyone through the sale of Heraldry Eternal Patterns in the Add-On Store. Devs are also adding a Cloak to the growing number of items you can use to display your heraldry. Note that these items are visually different from the Founder versions they released in Release 52.

 

Check out this helpful guide for submitting blazon artwork. Please note that things are different from what the College of Arms did and all work the College of Arms did is void and not used by Portalarium

The Making of Penmawr Island

Penmawr Island is a Tier 4 island in the Bay of Storms in the South Paladis region directly south of Jaanaford. The island includes a safe haven for plunderers but a recent shipwreck nearby threatens the inhabitants with a horde of undead.

NO SPOILERS! Thanks for following our progress!


The Making of Tenebris Harbor

Tenebris Harbor was once a thriving town on the coast of the Bay of Storms in the South Paladis region west of Jaanaford. The town has recently been attacked and taken over by plunderers who have burned down whole sections of the town. For the first few days of the release parts of the town will be on fire and the bodies of the residents will litter the streets but soon those fires will go out and the bodies will get cleaned up and the town will settle into the long term plundered and ruined state. This is a Tier 5 scene so be prepared for a challenge!

Hey guys! SorcerousSteve here to give you the latest on Tenebris Harbor!

The Tenebris Harbor Docks burn at night following the recent attack by pirates.

Furniture has been piled out on the street and burned, while a pirate flag flies above the courtyard.
