This week’s patch brings back more backgrounds and adds the option to choose your starting roster when you are creating a new world. For now, all possible options are available, but in the near future they will be restricted to backgrounds you have actually recruited at least once.

We encourage you to test out the Sky Summoner and the Pyromancer in particular. The other focus of this week has been to find a new baseline for magic users, and these two are our initial test cases.

Gameplay Changes
- Added tab to the world creation where you can choose your starting roster. (All options are available now, in the future you will need to work a little harder to get the more powerful classes unlocked).
- Added recruitable characters: Chronicler, West Wind Trader, Tinkerer, Crimson Crusader, Sky Summoner, Pyromancer
- New and improved spell skills and associated items for the Sky Summoner and the Pyromancer
- Adds spell focus items that are designed to facilitate characters with spell craft.
- Slight changes to the Free Sword
- You can encounter Free Swords with different cultures in more places.
- Characters can have ‘bound’ items, these cannot be discarded, stored or traded away.
- You automatically pick bound weapons up from forges if you move away too far.
- When you pass on items to another wayfarer you keep throwing items that are similar to the ones you have set as a preset.
- The price to recruit most backgrounds has gone up a little.

Bug fixes:
- When pressing cancel in the menu to select a regional rumor you cannot accidentally get a rumor.
- Fixes another bug that prevented freshly recruited wayfarers from showing up in Haven.
- The prologue quest closes properly and cannot be accepted multiple times.
- Fixes an issue with the deep forest template not generating correctly.
- Clan leaders or no longer wounded in raids, so you can always talk to them.
