The belief layer has art now

• All twelve animals of the year, drawn and animated — the turning of the years is a row of beasts that breathe, not a list of words.
• The kam has a face.
• Each of the four lands shows the custom that belongs to it: the fat on the fire, the water poured back, the cloth on the thorn, the untouched willow at the ford.

Fixed: the customs of the land almost never happened

Twelve encounters were written for Earth and Water, and they were drawn from the same pot as two hundred others. Measured over a hundred played journeys, a rite turned up in four of them.

A custom is not something you stumble on by chance — you come into the mountains, and the tree is standing there. So it is no longer drawn: the land asks for its custom once a journey. Measured again: ninety-nine journeys in a hundred.

Fixed: nine banners read nothing

Of the 28 banners, nine had no sign they read as favourable — pick one of those and the whole ongon reading did nothing for you, and you would never have found out, because a choice that never appears looks exactly like a choice that does not exist. All 28 read at least one sign now.

Fixed: the controller got stuck on text

This one reaches much further than the new tab. Lines of text could take the focus, so the d-pad wandered between them and never arrived at a button — on four of the seven House tabs, nothing in the content could be reached at all. On one of them there were twenty-one lines of text in the way.

Text no longer takes the focus, and every screen now links its buttons explicitly instead of trusting the engine to work out where they are. The staff, the deeds, the rival houses and the new sky tab are all reachable on a pad again.
