The main part of the game is currently underway. The Town Crier page will be updated when any new advancements
are made. The next expected updates to the page will be Calendar (and list of festivals), an overview of the
legal systems of the Twelve Nations, and a list of common phrases and sayings. Further additions to the Myths and
Legends page are also in planning. We hope we've been thorough, but if we've left something out, you can contact
us, either Dustin or jenn.
