Omrazir Updates

For the week of 11/2:

• The fishing shack at the end of Fisherman's Pier is now stocked with fishing poles, bait, and a few other items.
• There are now water rooms around Fisherman's Pier, so you can, big shocker, go fishing there.
• Mahmoun's Practical Blacksmithing now has a working forge and anvils.
• A small shrine for Nirzali now exists in-game.

For the week of 12/1:

• The Raziyan style eatery Sasinat's Feast is now open in the Razmani Enclave! All the room descriptions, items, and places were written by pof Yasin, and it is super-fantabulous! Some of the items on the menu are also courtesy of pof Yasin, as well as pof Inaya. Go check it out!
•  The Booth of al-Mansuri the Stationer now sells paper packets for people to send or store their papers/parchments/assorted other small items in. I'll try to get some more requested items in soon, but these at least are now available. :)

For the week of 12/8:

• It's now possible to register new accounts. We're opening it very softly, so as not to get potentially flooded, but you can invite friends you'd like to play with and they should be able to make new accounts and new characters now.
• Existing players can also make new characters if they'd like! More presence levels on your account does unlock the Bissenke and Sarmatiyyan heritages.

Ooooh 

More for the week of 12/8!

• Several cooking ingredients are now for sale in Omrazir. Scattered around town there are now stalls for spices and herbs, flour, and produce, and Ashel's Meat Market is also open for business. Cookery scavenger hunt time!

For the week of 12/14:

• A first aid counter has been stocked in the Bazaar of the Nine Winds, Hall of Myrrh. Here you can now buy basic first aid materials such as bandages, splints, suturing needles, and sinew.
• There is now a Dusty Festival Grounds area out the Nomads' Gate on the southeast side of Omrazir, at the end of the Via Fortuna. There MIGHT even be a tiny bit of festival stuff there! (Better tiny and late than nothing and never?)

Relevant wiki topics:

• Festival of the Dead
• Fire Festival
• Feast of the Flame
• Dead Days

For the week of 12/28:

• The rustic hutch at the entrance to the Plainview District (out the Nthanda Gate on the far south side of Omrazir, then west down the path) is now stocked with bundles of firewood.
• There is now an archery goods booth just outside the Bazaar of the Nine Winds on the Via Fortuna. Shortbows, quivers, and arrows are available for purchase here.
• The Hall of Respite in the Bazaar now carries a small selection of copper and tin lanterns.

For the week of 1/25:

• Just in case anyone missed it, Sharizaar General Outfitters is now open in the Plainview District outside the southern Nthanda Gate. It carries a variety of supplies, tools, containers, and outdoor wear.
• There is now a rangy bowyer with a long white scalplock at the bowyer's booth just outside the Via Fortuna gate of the Bazaar of Nine Winds. He is capable of training the Archery and Aim skills.
• Plainview Pottery is also now open, likewise in the Plainview District. It currently has a limited selection of bowls and mugs for sale.
• To go along with the pottery, there is also a new pottery kiln located down the path alongside the shop, which can be used for -- gasp -- making pottery.
• Also at the potter's shop, a copper-skinned potteress with weary silver eyes is now available to teach the Pottery skill, and there are job openings there for a Potter's apprentice.

For the week of 2/8:

• Farihaa's Fine Fabrics is now open in the Hall of the Weaver in the Bazaar of the Nine Winds. It is currently stocked with needles, thread, buttons, and several colors of a few everyday fabrics. Like most other shops I'll continue to add merchandise as I have time.
• The Seaview Pub on the Via Maris has finally had its menu finished and put in! Thank you to the players of Matty and Jannah for your contributions. :) There are also tables to sit at in the common room now.
• Sharizaar General Outfitters now carries slings and ammunition stones in the front room.
• The Ore Emporium in the Plainview District has gotten their lazy layabout laborers to finally restock coal in the sooty bins.

I'm a doofus who messed up the punctuation in the development changelog and made it eat all my entries, BUT, most of them had to do with Omrazir so I am posting them here. 

• There are now several new environments for Omrazir and the greater Omrazir area. These include: Cropland, Park, Urban Planting, and a split of the Oasis type into regular (natural) Oasis and Cultivated Oasis.
• New trees have been added: orange, blood orange, lime, musk willow, and weeping willow. The two willows replace the Ruveran willow that was in Omrazir before, and can likewise have their bark harvested to make tea with. 
• There are also some other new plants: Stormbreak sage for Rocky and Plains environments, ramblewort for Beach and City of Omrazir environments, anklebiter for Desert environments, and alfalfa for Cropland environments.
• Several new forageable items have been added, including new stick and clay types.

There is some other more minor stuff as well, which hopefully I did not break. >.> 

The new environments are in a way the biggest thing, as this will help refine where plant resources are located within the city. No more giant ancient trees standing in the middle the wharf! (I hope) However it will take some time to correctly tag all the rooms, so I'll be working on this for a little while.

Also, yes, I have been working on the Sidi Mircasset Oasis for some time, but have been sidetracked by other things and haven't gotten any of it in-game yet. But it's in the works!
