This update brings a new playable class to Elysium, the Guildmaster. By establishing different types of guilds in towns, he will get benefits depending on what type of guild it is. E.g. the shipwrights guild will enable the construction of better ships and the assassins guild will enable assassination contracts. Ships have been tweaked as the guildmaster is a ship using class and it is now much faster to travel by sea than on land. There is also some new stuff for the Demonologist, the Dryad Queen and the Kobold King as well as plenty of bug fixes and tweaks.
