    Located in the Bay of Storms, Penmawr Island is getting uncloned!

    Here's some screenshots of our current progress on this tier 4 adventure zone (It will be full of raucous pirates and other ghoulish baddies):

    Trivial piece of background, I guess - I first ran across Pen Mawr island many months back, just wandering around the map, and saw the main observable object on it was a huge oracle head, so burst out laughing - in Welsh, Pen Mawr literally means 'Head Big'... but it's also fairly commonly used in everyday Welsh to refer to a hangover.

    Looking great Vas! Love the faces sculpted into the rockscape. Are those supposed to be the Obsidians?

    Also happy to see more pirate themed stuff being added. Will be a great place to explore for sure!

    Awesome! I love the pirate look. Any chance for some buried treasure quests?

    No. It's an island full of pirates but there is no treasure. Don't even look for it. No treasure here. Move along.

    Hopefully we get a big pirate to fight since we're losing Torc Dawl there :p

    **note, 'bandit' guys will look different, Fletcher is making some more great NPC art this release (NO SPOILERS)
