	*'''Story and Scenes:'''		*'''Story and Scenes:'''
	:*'''Ulfheim:''' Ulfheim is now a completely original Tier 8+ scene (i.e. no longer a clone of another scene with slightly different enemies)! It is now a proper home for the barbarians (like New Britannians have Brittany, Norgarders have Valhold, and plunderers have Penmawr Island). They have got living spaces, crafting areas, tree houses, and even a full village with viking-style buildings. There are three multi-stage wave battles designed for repeat play by high-end players. Enterprising players may discover the “side activities” that can change some of the enemies in the “boss fight,” and increase the number of enemies on the way to that final battle. As a bonus, all the special enemies from the classic Ulfheim are there including high tier wolves, bears, boars, wyverns, and the Reapers. Additionally, it has all the same resources plus additional resource types (such as crystals) and nodes.<br>[[Image:SS_4Starr_Ulfheim_B.jpg]]		:*'''Ulfheim:''' Ulfheim is now a completely original Tier 8+ scene (i.e. no longer a clone of another scene with slightly different enemies)!

	:*'''Pumpkin Head and his Minions Return:''' Pumpkin Head returns! Each harvest season, Novians warn their children not to go into the fields at night because of Pumpkin Head! Kinga or Ronin in Castle Brittany have two quests: slay Pumpkin Head and steal a pumpkin head item from him or his foot soldiers. This heinous villain and his minions are rumored to dwell in a pumpkin patch in East Vauban Foothills. Slay Pumpkin Head and you might gain a powerful Skull Staff artifact.<br>[[Image:SS_Pumpkinhead_A.jpg]]		:*'''Pumpkin Head and his Minions Return:''' Pumpkin Head returns!

You’ll find these rare enemies in some random encounters in Novia and Hidden Vale.<br>[[Image:SS_4Starr_Nightmare_A.jpg]]		:*'''Nightmares:''' Arriving just in time for Halloween, these new rare boss level equines are full of fire and death!
