(Translated by ChatGPT)

After a Stable update, older versions of Mods may stop working or behave strangely. If things act up, try disabling Mods once.

[Highlights]
* (Backer Wish) Added race "Centaur".
* (Backer Wish) Added "Larnneire, Listener of the Winds" and "Lomias, Messenger from Vindale".
* (Backer Wish) Reintroduced "Verna, Shadow Witch" as a noble guest in the Eternal Garden.
* (Backer Wish) Added spell "Spear of the Moonlit Night". Added to Miral & Garok’s prizes.
* Updated quest “Negotiation with Darkness.” Added related Home quest content.
* Unlocked Minotaur’s Cave.
* After clearing quest “The Mystery of the Legendary Bag,” Raina and Poina now generate in Specwing.

[Additions to the Eternal Garden]
* Renovated and renamed map “Somewhere” into “Eternal Garden.” If “Somewhere” was already visited, it regenerates over time. NPCs such as Black Angel, Billy, and Verna are carried over (which can result in multiple Vernas).
* Eternal Garden is disconnected from time, used to host immersion-breaking or timeline-inconsistent content, as well as guest NPCs (Backer Wish). Future quests and unique NPCs planned.
* If “Somewhere” was visited before Eternal Garden is generated, a cassette tape is mailed to Home when loading save data (since it won’t regenerate with the map).
