As you're probably all aware, the western side of Aetherius has greatly
expanded over the last couple of months. We have released over 1000
rooms and 800 new creatures for quests, bashing, and taming.

Along with the release of these areas, harvesters will find that the new
environment scrublands can prove to be productive in both a new plant
that grows, for leisure purposes only, and several bush sidewinders
living within the bushy landscapes. The finding of these and the same
timber rattlers in Nagmara that can also be found along the forests in
the west should be good news for many.

Special thanks go out to the following builders who made this large
release possible:

Ik'taru Expanse
- Assyra Hills - Enzeru
- Mik'siru Lake - Lynn
- Ancient Village - Ahysaye
- Expanse itself - Erana and Mathessa

Cuhpfehr Hills
- Brookhollow Inn - Theseus
- Catclaw Creek - Garess
- Catclaw Mines - Karri
- Ynalmi Forest - Erana
- Hills itself - Ysabel with a bit of help from Mathessa

Winde Scrublands - Mathessa

Lakes and Rivers
- Anali River, Oigwe River, Nysanti Lake, and Nysara Lake - Nisha

Iaemoc

- Western section - Mathessa

Finally, we need to mention Seki, who is the immortal in charge of
building. She has spent many, many, many hours working with mortal and
immortal builders, designing areas, connecting areas, inputting programs
and attacks. Her tireless work has seen the largest single release of
rooms and areas in IRE history.
