I've been moving around the map adding details and tying things together. Some spots have not nearly gotten as much attention as they will get. A primary resource and mystery tied to the map currently are the pylons that govern the WeirdLands. Have to come up with good loot and equipment sets for each tech-level, they are currently very skeletal.
