Now that the storms have cleared, several merchants who have been waiting to make an appearance and open their shops have come and opened doors.

They are:

• Rose's Arms Providing basic weapon needs to the public.

• Oleander's Defenses Providing basic defensive gear to the public.

• Tigerlily Bowery Providing basic archery gear to the public.

• Cypress Sundries Providing basic sundries to the public.

• Gardenia Gourmet Providing basic groceries to the public.

• Melorna's Boutique Once opened by Chantaclair, Seamstress Melorna has moved her wares into the old shop and is open for business.

In addition to the above shops, the following food servicing shops have opened:

• Daisy's Dinners A quaint little cafe-style eating facility that provides lunch and dinner meals.

• Breakfast Nook A quaint little restaurant that provides breakfast foods at all hours of the day.

• Wisteria Winery Equipped with a cafe for sampling the various beverages they sell, this winery specializes in wines by the bottle or by the case, as well as specialty wineglasses, wine-bowls, chalices, and more.

• Portable Waterhole Zifku and her mother have decided to stop roaming and have brought their wagon back to the Island to share their comfortable booths and fine drinks with the public.

Though the Sea Breeze Tavern has been destroyed by the recent storms, the new tavern is open for business. The details of the tavern are:

Firefly Villa

• Front Desk Services Ready to help you CHECK IN, the front desk is conveniently located and there to provide you aid with your training needs.

• Wash Rooms Created by the famed Nizara Vi'undiel, the Wash Rooms cater to men OR women.

• Steam Room Located in the expansive gardens of the Villa, the steam room is a co-ed facility that will help you to unwind knotted muscles.

• Eight Guest Rooms Located on the second floor of the villa, each guest room is equipped with small luxuries and has a walk out to a balcony. Please remember when seeking privacy to latch both the door leading to the hallway and the door leading to the balcony.

• Gardens and Catwalks Located at the heart of the Villa, the catwalks overlook the gardens, which have simple pathways and well tended tropical blooms.

• Meeting and Merchant Hall Located on the western side of the Villa, the meeting and merchant hall are the perfect place to hold gatherings or to simply recline with friends.

• Luna Rest Tavern Located on the eastern side of the Villa, the Luna Rest Tavern has a fully functional kitchen and a lively bar room that leads to the Villa's front porch. Order your food in the kitchen to go or simply have a seat one of the refurbished Sea Breeze Tavern's tables to order from the kitchen or bar. While not all of the beverages from the bar are able to be ordered from the tables, a great many are.

• Treasures Throughout the Villa there are small treasures to find that we hope you will enjoy.

Returning to the Island after an extended vacation is the Healer Kwithi. She has moved back into her cottage and is happy to return to tending to the needs of her friends on the island.

Returning with Kwithi is Friar Memnole. The friar is a follower of Jaston and has taken up residence on the eastern cobblestone path. He is more than happy to help any fallen adventures and has left the doors to his cottage open to your needs.

Beyond the addition of the new shops, the streets of Mist Harbor have undergone some subtle changes. Keep your eyes open for these things. Most of your favorite shops have not changed location, but only have been moved into the background so that the streets appear less cluttered.

~*~ OOC NOTE ~*~

Healer Kwithi has been updated for messaging and to stop that nasty bug of her sending dead people to Ta'Vaalor.

Frair Memnole is the new town Cleric.

Special thanks for the two NPCs should be directed to GM Modrian who did the wonderful scripting on them.

Bathhouse additions were provided by GM Voraviel who not only taught me how to install them but graciously allowed me to use them and when I bungled things swooped in to fix them.

Special thanks should be given to GM Xayle because she ended up with over 90% of this stuff on her QC plate and handled it with grace, despite the other deadlines she had.

Special thanks should be given to GM Naionna who helped with items in the boutique, as well as mood messaging in the Villa, (which isn't all in place yet, but will be soon!)

Specific thanks should be given to GM Xynwen and GM Kaikala who allowed me to go nuts and grew as excited about these releases as I did.

I'd also like to thank GM Aiza for her help with the Atrium Explosion Invasion, GM Voraviel for playing the Elementalist and helping me cement the idea of how to end the storms, and GM Kaikala and (again) GM Aiza for helping to execute the ending of the Monsoon Seasons storyline with a only a few mistakes (mostly on my end).

I truly hope you all enjoy the new areas.

(These areas aren't released in Platinum yet because last night we ended so terribly late in Prime that we decided it would be a bad idea to attempt it there. Either tonight or tomorrow night Platinum will get their storyline.)
