The road is no longer walked in silence
- The first five chapters now have a complete travel log: over a hundred and forty entries spread across the Isle of Rebirth, the Port of Mistmoor, the Elven Forest, the Marchlands and Blackmoor
- Every time you move from one area to the next, the log tells you what you find on arrival
- Forks get their own line for each branch, so the route you pick shows in the text and not only on the clock
Every step of a quest leaves its own line
- Until now only the end of the chain spoke up, and the steps in between passed in silence. That is over: every action that unlocks the next one tells its part
- Repeatable quests speak the first time in each life and stay quiet after that, so twenty repetitions do not fill the log with the same sentence
Academies name what you take with you
- Walking through an academy door leaves its line, and leaving it names the skill or the item you walk out with
What you are carrying gets told first
- When you solve a step with the item or spell that shortens it, that line now comes before the normal one, as a preamble: first how you did it, then what you find on the other side
