Adding on to this, will we be getting new achievements for achieving certain levels in Baldwin's Brew?
How exactly is the Scarred Wasteland so...fleshy? Did Plaguebringer just throw around a bunch of carcasses and bones onto the ground and give them "life"? Can plague magic command flesh and bone like that, to the point of basically reanimating it?

Why is Crim suddenly asking for Berserker and Ambush stones so much? I'm seeing her ask for both multiple times a day, sometimes for the same stone multiple times in an hour. Is she taking up coli farming? Seriously, though.

So when will the new colours be added to the colour wheel in the scrying workshop? Will it be after they've all been revealed?

Also I'd really like to see the answer to DTEvie's question.

What is the weather over the Sea of a Thousand Currents like? Assuming it too is influenced by Tidelord's magic, I'm guessing it rains a lot?

So, are ghost and points still planned to become genes or have they been scrapped?

What do the beastclans think of the gods? Since the gods are a very real, physical presence they would have no doubt they exist. Do they also worship them? Do they resent them for creating dragons? Do they know the gods created the dragons?

Also, do the gods themselves ever get involved in fighting the beastclans or do they stay aloof and away from the conflict? Do they encourage dragons to continue fighting with the beast races or do they not care either way?

Once Undel finishes the templates, will the new colors be introduce immediately? Or will there be a short gap in between the two?

For guardians, do they know their charge at first sight? Or does it depend on the type of charge, guardian, etc?

Will a scrolled guardian seek a charge?

Guardians can swim underwater, right? If they're flying creatures (which implies light bone structure), how does that work? Do they have some sort of swim/flight bladder? Are they just so muscular that they power their way through flight? If we're assuming they're light like birds/bats, then it makes sense that they would float and would have trouble sinking.

Are there any other continents in Sornieth other than the main continent that the elemental flights are located? And if so, why hasn't dragon kind explored these continents?

When a man lies he murders some part of the world
These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives
All this I cannot bear to witness any longer
Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home
