Thanks to Cinnamon Riverglitter of server 3 for the following three finds!

  • Periwinkle in Sanctuary now will speak to passersby about how her stock of paint is getting low. Could this be a pre-cursor to the long-awaited housing? We hope so!
  • Additionally, a new NPC, Bellis, can be found across the street from Periwinkle. This NPC stands in front of a new table with potted plants on it. While we hold great aspirations for future house plants, we'll have to wait and see!
