	The question set the lines quietly abuzz. Atamarr gave them a moment to mull it over before continuing. “What we will do…all we can do… is start anew. To that end, these are my final orders to you. From this moment on, in Dereth, the Great Houses are disbanded!” ~~Atamarr’s~~ voice rose in volume as he continued to inspect the lines. “No more can we stand separate! My quest for each of you is this: Go into the places and mingle with the peoples of Dereth. They are not your enemy, even if forces here and at home wish for you to believe such. Learn from them, find their worth, and earn their friendship and trust.”		The question set the lines quietly abuzz.

	“Yes, I understand that this changes everything we were raised to believe in, and yes, I understand that this will not be easy. You have not joined a side in a war as you may have believed, at least not in the traditional sense. There is no way, at present, to stop the Iron Blade ~~Primus’s~~ actions on our homeworld. We are trapped here, unless we can find some way to create another path home. We can battle those who come here as his forces, or show them the light, as you all saw. But we cannot simply end this situation as it stands now. We will continue to find a way. We will find one eventually, but until that time comes, it serves us all best if we grow in strength as a people.”		“Yes, I understand that this changes everything we were raised to believe in, and yes, I understand that this will not be easy.

	Asheron ~~couldn’t~~ believe his luck; after what seemed like ages searching for his lost kin, Claude, of all beings, managed to find a small pocket of Empyreans trapped in Portalspace! And then came to tell him how to reach it! This was far too good to be true. Asheron carefully suppressed his growing hope for a moment and asked, “Are you positive, Claude?”		Asheron couldn't believe his luck; after what seemed like ages searching for his lost kin, Claude, of all beings, managed to find a small pocket of Empyreans trapped in Portalspace!

	Asheron suppressed a smile as he answered, “No, Claude, you have not.” He still ~~wasn’t~~ sure if he should trust Claude, but he had gotten the ~~Virindi’s~~ help in the past, and he had always been straight and to the point in those dealings. “Thank you for this. If I can free even a small number of my people, it is a great boon to me.”		Asheron suppressed a smile as he answered, “No, Claude, you have not.” He still wasn't sure if he should trust Claude, but he had gotten the Virindi's help in the past, and he had always been straight and to the point in those dealings. “Thank you for this.

	As Claude floated back out to the courtyard and ripped a hole into Portalspace, Asheron set to drawing the needed information out of the message shard. He found the information surprisingly complete. In all his years of searching, he had never considered asking one of the friendlier, independent Virindi for aid. Now he all but cursed himself a fool for not doing so sooner. Portalspace was the Virindis native home, and none knew it better. Once this pocket of Empyreans was freed, ~~he’d~~ have to ask Claude for help in locating the rest.

	As he walked to his Circle, deep under the castle tower, Asheron pondered the best ritual layout to carefully and delicately access this deep portion of Portalspace. ~~He’d~~ have to take several extra precautions opening even a small portal so deep into the swirling mess of Portalspace, especially if he ~~didn’t~~ want to potentially disturb whatever was keeping those he wanted to save alive and asleep.

	Asheron sighed sullenly. “I see. Thank you. Emissary. ~~I’ll~~ attend to it immediately.” He slowly rose from bed and brushed the worst of the wrinkles from his robes. “Inform Queen Elysa that ~~I’ll~~ be needing to speak to the Council, and get Prince Borelean and his wife for me.”		Asheron sighed sullenly. “I see.

 With the addition of races that do not fit the standard human models, and the ability to turn multislot pieces of armor into a single slot the current inventory screen was inconvenient for players. We have added an additional view to help with this.
 <br>At the bottom of the current inventory screen, near the feet of the character, is a check box called Slots. This check box hides the character portrait and show explicit slots for all the armor pieces. This allows players to quickly equip and unequip items and to see what slots might still be open and unprotected.
