December 18 Update (Patreon)

Spent this week working on fixes for TLS 0.22.4 and various side projects, so not a lot to say there. I hope to get into the Zirantian update soon, but meanwhile... it's time to talk about that lovely map up top. This one also comes to us courtesy of Curtis S. 

Renthnor is the simplest continent at a glance, but it becomes more complex the deeper you look. You've already visited the Orgasmic Empire, which has a variety of problems, and you've met the Incubus King from Philon. If it isn't clear from the arctic regions, this is a northernmost continent, with a lot of area too cold to be heavily inhabited.

The other major feature, of course, is the Renthnor Wilds. It is a vast region that's difficult to classify except for the fact that none of it is part of a major nation. Some parts of it have small but thriving communities, others are devoid of life. There are valuable resources in some areas, but though other nations have occasionally exploited them, they've never done so long term. 

The Wilds seem to resist colonization, instead representing one of the few vast swaths of mystery left in the world. Don't read too much into that, the Wilds don't hold some fundamental plot mystery or anything. But Simon did spend a number of years traveling there, and a few key characters call it home.

Anyway, you will definitely come back to spend some more time on Renthnor, I hope people look forward to it. That's all for now, see you next week!
