Editing Update of the Avatar/Update 235 (section)

===<span id="3">Jaanaford Scene Polish</span>===
As we are focusing on the Path of Truth we are spending time to not only polish the story elements (dialogue, NPC names, quests, etc.) we are also updating visuals along the path as needed. For Release 44 this includes polishing the visuals for three of the towns you visit along the Path of Truth: Aerie, Vertas, and Jaanaford. Each of these towns is getting updated to include more color (especially blue, the color of Truth), more visuals related to Truth (books, libraries, statues of the Titan of Truth, etc.), and general polish (terrain, foliage, etc.).

Hey folks. Today I’ll be sharing a few screenshots of some updates I have made to Jaanaford.

Improvements have been made to the terrain, especially along trails, to make it feel more realistic. All of the rocks in the scene have been replaced with ones of better quality.

Both the upper and lower waterfalls have been replaced with ones which closely resemble other waterfalls in other updated scenes.

The Town Center has a few new additional structures to reinforce Jaanaford’s ancient history as a place of learning.

The central bonfire now has a colonnade surrounding it, along with canvas tarps that provide shade.

The Reliquarium is a “new” addition to the town center. The townsfolk of Jaanaford have taken it upon themselves to restore this crumbling library to working order. Fans of the fantasy books should stop by here to check out the various oddities on display, or to catch up on some reading.

Many of the the bridges leading to the town center are built on the ruins of what was here before.

The Devotional now rests on a foundation which does it justice.
